Re: Substance Painter - Persistent Baking Issues
You'll need to make sure uv splits have hard edges and that texel density is consistent. Also arrange it so that UVs are straight (as much as possible) and that you have a decent amount of padding (8px @2048 as a minimum) If you're being really thorough you should pixel snap your UVs as well. In a perfect world you would… -
Re: The Imperial Gardens (UE4 enviro)
Sinking: i just made a normal trim-texture where I painted skewwed pixel art basically, then I just mapped that onto the round surfaces : ) Added some more proper pathways, still very basic shading, need to add some vertexpainting to the shader soon so I can start to give some more life to the surfaces : ) Also redesigned… -
Re: how to mimic DOOM 3 Style ?
I'm just an indie dev with a leaning towards environment art... I also like GTKRadiant so looking into Doom 3 was natural. It has recognizable level design, even if not everybody likes it. Similar games; well, Quake 4, Prey, FEAR, even Bioshock. Quake 1/2 if you're fine with giant brown pixels (there are custom engines and… -
Re: Wizard and NecroMage Characters
Too embarrassing for it's own url, here is my bake that doesn't make it's owner proud. I don't know why the shadows are so soft, and the skin looks like it has subsurface scattering (when it doesn't!). So I changed the mesh to be an interp actor, which helped make it look better than what you see in the screencap, but UGH,… -
Re: Round 2: Self Model
Hey guys, I'm having another weird problem trying to set up my textures, it happened when I set up my reference, but I found a way around it; but this time it won't work. When I setup a bitmap image as my diffuse texture, it comes out as a tiled texture in the preview ball, but when I uncheck the tile buttons, it becomes a… -
Re: [WIP] Halo:Reach MA37 Assault Rifle
HA halo is so stupid. kidding, yeah I think the edges are a bit tight, also that might be your render? Also a lot of those floaters look fairly small and may not bake well or show up more than a few pixels. I feel like overall it feels a bit blocky and missing a lot of the smaller details that will push everything together… -
Re: UE4 - Main menu scene
Another update, tomorrow is my last day I can work on this. I'll probably skip the mecha as I can't do that on 1 day. I'd like to add a simple flock of birds flying over. Some small ships that fly from the big ships to the city. Not sure what I can do with the mountain on the left, feels a bit empty. Maybe I create another… -
Re: [UDK] Arcadia Moon Colony: Military Maintenance Bay
Trying to give all of my shaders more of an aggressive spec and IBR. Still have some tweaking to do. Before I move on I'm running into this annoying normal map compression artifacting. Does anyone know any good normal map import settings that actually WORK? I've either never noticed this, or had this issue before but It's… -
Re: Can someone help me get a clear vision/path that I need to take in order to learn 3D game art
It's not so important when you look at a lone object but you absolutely need a consistent scale between assets so you can drag them into each others scenes to ensure they are working in concert. If everything is working to the same scale it's far easier to maintain Texel Ratio (how many pixels of texture occupy a set… -
Re: Exporting 8-bit alphas from Photoshop
What's your issue? The alpha is 8 bit if you're working with a 32bit image. Ie if your bit depth in photoshop is set to 8 bit per pixel then your alpha channels are 8 bit. The red displays as a mask in photoshop for visual convenience. nothing more. Just export it as a tga or tiff and check 32bit when you get the option…
