Re: General questions about materials, lightmap and performance.
2. No you can't. What you can however, is to scale down those uvs on the uvmap so they only occupy very little space. 3. Different people might say different things about this. There are pros and cons for both method. If you use a lot of booleans, you will end up with many permutations, a lot of, and long shader… -
Re: Easy to follow texturing workflow
ok i think this is probably the best way for me to explain what im talking about. In the image you can see three things, building i quickly modeled for this query and two options. A&B... Option A = use multi-sub material and apply to object. use uvmap to tile textures then apply unwrap for renderTotexture on seperate uv… -
Re: Final Project WIP
Thankyou for your replies. I have been advised by my tutor to keep my enviroment and final assetts for this project reasonable small and I have tried to take this advice into account. However, I still have quite a substantial list of things to do. Anyway here is the current state of the church building. I put it to one… -
Re: WIP: Halo 2-Master Chief
no no, lol, its all good if that was the intent of your offer, i realize it probly came out a bit harsh looking. The only way i could benefit from the model is just seeing a back render, but i still dont like getting hacked models and textures and stuff. Its just it wouldn't really help me to have the actual thing...it… -
Re: Unwrap of a character
Best way to unwrap a character? Depends on the character and the style of texturing. I think there are some examples of unwarping in the video tutorial section (always a good place to look first ) MAX or Maya http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/resources/general/video_tutorials/video-tut-list.shtml http://www.3dtotal.com/… -
Projection texturing workflow for games
Came across this and I am curious how many texture artists are employing this in their workflow. Does this make texturing more intuitive, easier and less chaotic? I am wondering how this works in terms of textures and resolutions especially as there is no use of tiling textures. Is this workflow effective rather than… -
Re: UDK Multiple UV problem!
If the normalmap and the diffuse map shares the same UV than you do not need to have to make different UV Layers for it. I guess you thought that UVmaps=Texture slots. What is possible is that you use one UV layout for your main diffuse, normalmap and so on and than another UV layout for dirt effekts and so one. There are… -
Re: Quixel SUITE | Suggestions
As a suggestion: An alternate way to find the UV islands without edge padding issues might be to force a UVmap input from the user. I know in max, the standard UV output gives you a white wireframe with green for the edges, it might be possible to make the seam correction a little smarter by getting cues from the UVs… -
Re: GI-ing with point lights
The quality is not resolution dependent. You'll never get pixelated, really low res lightmaps, or lightmap seams. You don't have to make second uv channel. You don't have to be careful about how you place your uvs in your lightmap uvmap to not get seams. It doesn't have long rendering time to compute lightmaps. You don't… -
Re: XSI texture pixel consistency
create a cube the size you want the tile to cover apply a cubic mapping to it, but don't freeze the modeling, hide the cube, you will just have the gizmo representing the cubic map select the object you want to assign the uvmap to, then do property>texture projection>connect to support, give it a name and select the gizmo…
