Maya XGen mask painting problem
I've been trying to explore XGen as a means of generating hair for a character. Didn't get very far though, because Maya: Painting masks feels like the UVs are a total mess of random islands which they are, as far as I can tell, not. Mesh doesn't have any history and uses a simple lambert shader. I also get this error from… -
Opacity mask / distortion shader query
So I've started getting my hands dirty with UDK materials, and I'm encountering a situation that I'm not sure about. I'm trying to add a glass effect to the windows of my scene. I'm trying to add some subtle distortion to the glass, but I don't think I'm doing it right. Here's the (very simple) setup - I've used a… -
Tips with Material Masks in UE4
Hey guys, just getting into the more in depth features of the material editor within UE4. I'm wanting to tackle the usage of the metallic features to really get some convincing metal visuals down. I've got some really great examples to look at in current UE4 level example content, but I'm sorta baffled on the ins and outs… -
Multi range transparency mask.
OK so I originally posted this in the 'Pimping' thread, but I've mostly just got feedback on the art aspects. I suppose this is the better place for UDK tech questions. So I have the following alpha channel in a file. I've also tried it as a separate file but that worked even worse: I'm having difficulty figuring out how… -
Re: Powerful new tool for critiquing your 3D Models
I ask chatGPT for this . it tends to be just complimentary first but if asked to do more weighted response it gets more serious . Surprisingly it notices nuances you may miss . Especially if asked right questions like what cultural or time references it can see in the picture, art and details style etc . Surprisingly it… -
New to all this, a question on terrain layer masking
Hi all, I have recently downloaded UDK and I'm loving it so far. Although I can't work out how to do one thing... I need to apply a detail texture to a terrain using a mask, so it will paint in the rock layer texture automatically based on a grayscale map generated by worldmachine. I have been able to apply a general… -
Answered: Quixel Isn't Masking my Mesh in the right direction.
Pretty much whenever I use the program and I have to texture something using an Alien Skin texture, It never looks right. The Alien Skins and few other materials apply a mask to the top and bottom of the mesh; giving it lighter colour on the underside and patterns and darker patches on the top. The problem with mine, is… -
Re: How to get this effect (Mass Effect armor)
I'd be very surprised if they're using gloss maps. The dither-dots appear to have a very dark/no spec, with the brighter dots having spec, so the pattern shows through even in the speculr highly. The left-most picture has a normal-map pattern in the pure black area forming that bikini-swoop down from her hip to crotch. The… -
Re: Waffles Workshop
Heres the spear. Having some problems with the masks. Cant get the self illumination to work well on the jewel, and I'm trying to separate the straps from the "metal" parts via masks... Not working so hot. Criticism is welcome, and very much appreciated :) mask1 (RGBA): mask2: -
Re: Combining small masks in other renderers.
Search around youtube for "Blender procedural texture", there's a lot out there. One typical setup for me in Maya looks something like this to set up a procedural grunge mask. The top row mixes some noises for overall grunge, projects it to the geometry and adds them together. The bottom row uses projected noises to drive…
