Height without pixel shading in Painter?
Does anyone know a trick to make Painter work same as Designer where height doesn't immediately produce shading until you put Height to Normal node on top of the height exactly where you need it ? Mixing height on top of baked normal map + masks adds extra complication and turns everything into utter mess. I prefer layers… -
Re: Question about Arnold PNG export
I haven't used Arnold for years and forgot everything about it already. But to render just a beauty de-noised pass with such a shadow requires a black background, not white, in the actual rendered picture and having the actual background still reflecting in your object material . Usually all renderers have a way to do so… -
Re: Problem with Mari Displacements
I assume you are using Arnold? Mari just spits out a texture map, so what you see is what you get. It looks like texture filtering or a low resolution texture map that are giving you this error. You will have to verify inside Mari. Make sure you working in 16bit as well. Personally, displacement maps are overkill for this… -
Re: UDK Blur Shader
I got it! I needed to turn Screen Align off for the scenetexture nodes, but leave the screenpos aligned. I have another issue now though...it flickers. I changed my shader to better reflect my intended end result, which is a sort of impressionist painting effect. Essentially what this does is take the pixels with… -
Re: UE4 compressing textures??
Most of the blurring techniques - real time and non real time as well - are iterative. What this means is it need to do some math X times. So either you can put the same math X times in the material editor with the nodes or you can just use the custom node and make a "for loop". In short, there is no blur node, and you are… -
Re: Making leaf veins
There's a nice voronoi node on gumroad somewhere that some of our foliage artists have used to great effect. alternatively you could look at igor elovikov's nodes which shuld allow you to create the same sort of effect -
Re: Finding lost dependencies in Designer?
In fairness max went at least 10 years without a built in way to reliably fix up broken references more than one at a time. Substance could do more to streamline the process for sure but the dependency manager does actually do what you want, it's just not feeding you the information on a plate or automating the process for… -
Re: Warning Message about static mesh
Oftentimes this happens because you delete the static mesh in the package. Unreal can't find it if you deleted it, right--but it still has a 'node' of it placed in the world. You can do what santewi suggests, but it might be quicker to do a'map check for errors' (from one of the top dropdown menus--can't remember which)… -
Re: Triplanar seam hiding in Designer
I'm mainly testing out a new node I want to make to simplify my texturing process. In the case of materials without large scale details it does not matter that the corners blend, nobody will notice. However if there is a massive seam then people will. If I can have the edges of the UV's blend nicely I can UV map much… -
Re: Stone wall problem - could use some suggestions
This has puzzled me a lot too! And it's something I still haven't been able to deal with satisfyingly. You should check up other people's work for reference on this. I've previously looked at this one from Joshua Lynch, and this from Conor Whitstone. From what I've been able to gather, you don't use tile nodes for such…
