Re: London Riots
Since local authorites have to rehome tenants who are evicted its not going to change anything. They will proably be rehoused in some cushy B&B. Anyway, they should at least wait until they have been convicted first. kaptainkernals - that robben island comment was really uncalled for I hate that some people are airing… -
Does anyone use instaMAT . is it worth a try and deeper learning?
I wonder does it provide any advantages vs substance Designer/Painter . Youtube videos are not very informative or showing something really new , I mean new approaches , workarounds for limitations of adobe software? Something good AI really helping and not just being one more useless toy ? Something to composite 8k… -
Re: Updating texture resources in SPainter?
also - if you're going to be iterating on a resource you can select where it's stored on import . i forget which one I usually used but one of them makes it easier to manage what you've imported -
Re: !!TEXTEL DENSITY PROBLEM!! PLEASE HELP ME SOLVING AND UNDERSTANDING THIS PROBLEM
I'd suggest running a test, now firstly afaik (learning the hard way!) material resolution changes across apps e.g. DCC -> painter -> baker...well usually and because I work with large assets, for instance vehicles in that I'm used to dealing with real world scale in meters which always remain consistent, so re-reading the… -
Re: PBR safe base color node in Designer?
well, hm. perhaps my RGB 33,33,38 is tiny a bit under what charts recommends , Unreal says deffuse reflectance / luminance for charcoal, dark fresh asphalt , dark rubber should be 0.02 . it's RGB 39 39 39 in 0-255 scale using typical luminance calculating formula for sRGB : 0.2126R + 0.7152G + 0.0722B. and srgb to linear… -
Re: [MAYA] Creating straight uvs in maya for pixel art texture , cant get straighten uvs to work
Generally ive found straighten uv's to be only helpfull at bringing into alignment a selection thats almost aligned but just slightly off (ex: unfolding a pipe usually has some distortion that can easily be fixed this way) Id recommend using the allign tools instead since they allow you to select a boundary uv to align… -
Re: Artstation Survey
Yes, you get me. :p This, thanks, might've been a quick post i usually say too much and was told though moderation that i type to much to get to the point i guess and I've been trying to consolidate it more and this is the result now. My me isn't good enough i guess. sry if this is overly complicated to read, i try to be… -
Re: Losing Your Artistic Voice to Convenient Asset Packs
I get what you mean, I have two views on this, use packs or quixel assets in a way to create something new (kitbash, live boleans etc) and if you are using packs in games to save time / costs that is also ok given you are not claiming it as your own work. Thing to keep in mind, Quixel assets and asset packs on various… -
Re: Early-Late 2000s CGI/Game textures
Yeah, that's a good strategy no matter what software. The only caveat is PBR usually expects "color" style textures to be stored in sRGB... albedo, emissive, specularColor, etc. All other textures are expected to be "linear sRGB"...roughness, metallic, normal map, etc. That's been a difficult thing to teach to artists.… -
Re: Azimuth Cold - FPS game visual prototype
While working on FPV animations I noticed something I didn’t think much about before. I’m using an Animation State Machine for looped animations like idle, walk, run, etc., and Montages that blend on top of them, driven by gameplay logic. In my DCC software I also have a base pose that is used as the start and end for all…
