If you're trying to work out what texel density you need you should base your calculation on the closest view distance for the texture/object. calculating the correct density for a given view distance is simple if you know the FOV and target resolution - I'm sure its googleable but bear in mind that some renderers will…
I know this is late reply, but if anybody else has the same problem: QUICK ANSWER: it's likely to be caused by the settings in: Preferences / Mem / MaxPolyPerMesh Just set that number higher and you're good to go. Little more info: That means you are trying to Dynamesh the model with very high resolution. In most cases,…
You have to make a separate UV set for lightmaps in 3D modeling software. All your UV borders should be snapped to the grid to prevent light bleeding. You have to setup your grid according to your lightmap resolution (try to start with 1/64 = 0.015625). You have to get at least 2-4 px of padding between UV shells to remove…
I'm pretty sure that 720p is a newer standard than 1080i. The latter does have a higher resolution, but the signal is interlaced (meaning only half of the horizontal lines of resolution are displayed at a time, oscillating between even and odd lines of resolution several times a second to create the appearance of 1080…
As I said. you want to mix a very very lowpoly model with a really high resolution unique texture. Imo you will always come to the point where you say "oh this would add too many polys to the model" or "oh this would reduce the resolution of the texture too much" as this is an extreme and unusual case you are aiming for.…
Odd, widescreen monitors in my experience haven't prevented a game from launching. Unless the monitoe doesn't support 1024x768, the typical default of games these days. Battlefield 2 requires command line switches to run at widescreen. WoW for me just worked when I changed the resolution in game.…
These props are not bad at all. Good work. I think you could improve upon them further by letting the specular pop a lot more. Check out some pictures of objects with similar materials to get a better feel for how they should look. Wood has a small amount of specular too, and gloss maps would help break up any flat…
Right here : "[Engine Configuration] Export resolution clamped to 4k. More than 2GB of VRAM are required to allows 8k export (2029MB detected). Unlike what the name suggests, Substance Painter is not really a painting app but rather, a mask painting app. What you paint in it is mostly black and white masks helping with the…
thomasp I am talking more about what may help artists, not replace them . Chat GPT already can make you blend files with geometry node setup after your description . It often connects the nodes not right but you still get an idea how it meant to work. Besides gazillion useful addons Chat made me this year. I am getting so…
