Re: basic knowledge help
1-high and low poly should have the same siluet. objects view distance also matters. you want to avoid baking artifacts from objects thats closer to the camera. 2-biggest thing i learned was that there are multiple uv maps for a reason. you can uv map the same object for many different reasons. like adding extra details or… -
Re: Texel Density & Trim
4k textures are very big and you'd have trouble justifying the use of 4k maps for unique props etc. - (*at a basic level - we'll ignore modern streaming tech) but if you have a trimsheet and you are re-using it across tens or hundreds of assets, that big chunk of memory becomes better value one question to ask yourself is… -
Re: [Finished!] ComEng V-Set Train.
Hello. I think i'm satisfied with the front undercarriage bit, I've been working on breaking it down into components for baking and painting. I think all the structural/support stuff and cables will be unbaked, with a trimsheet (costs around 14k), while everything else will be made from a kitbash of painted components.… -
Re: Baked-Bevel-Trim Workflow__How to unwrapp complex models?
Here are some (general) info about trimsheets: http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Modular_environments Especially for Substance.. maybe this: https://www.adobe.com/learn/substance-3d-painter/web/trim-sheets-with-substance-painter or that: https://www.exp-points.com/exp-tutorials-keegan-keene-trim-sheet-substance-designer -
Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | March - April (83)
@Benny_Jam Looks great! My only critique is that I would add a little bit more variation in the roughness, but it's definitely a preference. I think I'm done with that project :D I decided to take a more next-gen approach with this building. It has 93,000 triangles (not including vegetation and props). I knew I was going… -
Re: Low poly baking issues (NEW)
fwiw I generally advise against baking normals onto cylindrical objects like this and to use a trimsheet-like approach instead. Using a flat tangent space normal map and allowing the mesh normals to emulate curvature generally results in a more stable result than the baked map. the main reason being: - if you're using… -
Re: Ancient Ruins Trim Sheet
Hey :) I think the trimsheet textures could be a bit improved: - Some edges bit smooth/undefined - Some edges/trims are missing bevel - Very strong light up of edges in base colour. I would keep it more subtle. - The green hue seems very saturated to me. Then here would be an option to have a more default stone colour and… -
Re: [COMPLETED] Tanah Airku (Final Major Project)
Hello @Noren ! I hope you are doing well! Thank you again for your continuous support! Yea, I wanted to model the screen ornaments because I wanted the depth and it's the centre piece too look at when you enter the room~ I have started texturing for all the assets created so far. Here are some interior screenshots from… -
Re: When to normal map and when not to normal map
Hey there, Just want to preface this by saying I'm a student learning the same thing, so I am by no means a pro. Just trying to share some info I've gathered. You mention trim sheets which, to my understanding, is an industry standard for normal mapping environments. It keeps texture resolution low, but you can still keep… -
Re: [Blender] DECALmachine: surface detailing using mesh decals
Hello, I had a question about decal creation I hope you can help me with. Is it possible to create simple decals that use normal, ao, height maps without having to bake them, and instead supply the maps from substance designer?. Info decals (as far as I'm aware) only support color/alpha but not ao/normal/height. TrimSheet…
