Re: Overlapped UVs per UV island 3ds Max.Accurate method to find them?
Thanks for that Eric, directed me to a very useful code snippet (it renders each face to a buffer and if theres something already rendered it flags it as overlapped). I've known about this method but never had the time or inclination to code it :) test output for my above example 100 by 50 buffer, the uvunwrap modifier… -
Re: Substance Designer Testing (Ryan Griffin)
Looks like a great beginning! Designer is super powerful, it just takes some time to fully master the various nodes. Here are some tips for each material: 1. The normal map here looks quite intense, when you might want to use a combination of height and normal. Height for the big shapes, then normal to add smaller details.… -
Re: Necessary budget for building a PC to become a 3D Game Character Artist
It's absolutely not necessary to go buy a giant workstation to make 3d models and hasn't been since about 2008. You can probably do the work you need to do on that machine quite comfortably - I used a worse one when I was working on first party PS4 titles. You may want more ram for zbrush but in general I'd suggest not… -
Re: Silo bitching
did you posted that on their boards? its sad indeed that it is so buggy (especially with the symmetry stuff, almost impossible to work with that ). I wish they would work on it again as well and maybe hire some xtra coder to do the bug tracking so that they can focus on core or new stuff. I could do the same video from… -
Re: SciFi Support Beam
Cool, that's good to hear. Weird how the 3/4 trick fixes the problem. I vaguely recall a coder here talking about how sudden switches of normal direction (the rorshach seam) can cause lighting headaches. He also asked for unique UVs for lighting fx. Sorry about the techy bits. I'm still coming to grips with this mirroring… -
Re: approach to techy stuff
Our max exporter at Whatif would do some funky shading when an object had no smoothing groups... not faceted, it was like a single SG but really f'd up. Apparently Max was sending out weird mesh data if there were no SGs at all. Coders said it was all max's fault. ;) I found a pic. No SGs on the left, separate SGs per face… -

Visible Tiling in Substance Designer Material
Hi everyone! I’m working on a material I created in Substance Designer, and I’m running into a visible tiling issue once I bring it into Unreal Engine 5.6. I’ve attached screenshots showing how it looks in the scene. The tiling (2x2) appears especially clearly horizontally. I’ve tried making small adjustments in Substance… -
