Re: [Technical Talk] - FAQ: Environment Modeling & Resources
I have a question about normal mapping a modular building piece. I suppose for an example of my question, I'll just use Stephan's building. Would you normal map a building like that the same way you'd normal map a prop? Where you go through the object and bevel the edges so that something like the window edges will have… -
Re: How can I make powerlines?
I would suggest NOT using an alpha blended surface for these. The texture is going to be filtered with distance, and the lower MIPS will be very blurry. It's generally better to just use pure opaque geometry. Include enough cross-sections to reduce long thin triangles, which can cause performance issues with some GPUs.… -
Re: Portfolio advice and critique
I found these examples of well optimised meshes. Assets like these on Artstation would be good reference B) https://www.artstation.com/artwork/0Zxoy https://www.artstation.com/artwork/x3nnAX https://www.artstation.com/artwork/JbLvz -
Re: capturing hi-poly round corners with normal map?
Thanks for the replies, Sure thing, examples and specific questions coming up... I just can't use the actual piece so I'm doing a quick example prop. I'll be back with screenies in about half an hour. -
Tutorial for context sensitive mel script/hotkeys in Maya?
Hey Guys, Are there any examples/tutorials out there to set up simple context dependent hotkeys in maya, based on selection type and selection count for example if faces are selected execute selectadjacentface.mel, or selectadjacentvertex.mel for vertex selection, etc? -
Re: Painter - height / normal UV discrepancy
Update: By trial and error I have found precise formula for Height Adjust filter Multiply slider: square root of the multiplier between two Texel Densities For example suppose we have Td = 4 and Td = 15, thus 15 / 4 = 3.75 and now the square root of 3.75 = 1.936 so to obtain equal height magnitude between two Td = 4 and Td… -
Re: Substance Designer - Latest Build - 2018.3.3
Regarding the command line/scripting aspect we updated Substance Batchtools to version 6. Here is the changelog : Substance Batchtools 6.0 Fixed: ○ [Global] Use png format by default for image creation (instead of jpg) ○ [Global] Help need to be more explicit (we now use more specific information and provide more examples)… -
Re: opinion on some props please
They look pretty good. IB and Ott bring up some good points I would follow their advice and modify the models accordingly. After that the next big hurdle is getting them unwrapped in a fast, clean, optimized way. The counts could be considered fine if most of those polys contributed to detail or helped you create optimized… -

Re: Demo Reel IN PROGRESS
http://jobyotero.com/games/Ghost/ConceptArt/Worlds/african/AfricanMission1_MountainInterior.jpg While the room itself has symmetrical features almost everything is unique. You've treated them more as props and pasted them around. For example, those small duck bills in the corner are actually a large hippo statue that fills…
