Re: Outdoor scene lighting advice
Mind telling what lights and settings you're using for them? ;) But basically what Ark said, with a sky like the one in your level, shadows would usually be rather dark because of the smaller diffuse radiation from the sky when compared to overcast sky. So keep the environmental colour/brightness low in world properties,… -
Re: Omniknight : Lose that hammer!
K, got the shader fx thing going. Was pretty easy really. Now just to fix my god awful textures. Dunno about you guys, but the way the dota maps are optimized makes my head hurt. :poly115: Im just so used to having separated maps (diffuse, spec, normal, glow etc). At least now i can see the results of changes quickly. -
Re: Metroid-inspired mech girl
Did a bake and texture and a quick rig. I considered adding some wear to the armor, but I think I kinda like the cleanness, whaddya think? 12410 tris, 2048 texture (diffuse, spec, normal, emission) Are there too many uv islands? I don't know how to really decrease the number of them any further without major distortion, is… -
Re: dDo Question
That worn edges is probably from the cavity map that's generated from the normal or inputted at the beginning. That'll be one of the top layer in the group (spec and diffuse), below the AO layer. The other stuff I have no idea about. Maybe you should elaborate more on what you mean by edit the 'default materials' — do you… -
Re: 3D Sketchbook
the models look pretty good for just starting :D to make the stuff really pop start making spec and normal maps for the models :D xnormal is a great tool for converting diffuse images into a normal map also if you could post up the wire frames of the models that would help the community crit how you build your meshes :)… -
Re: UDK Castle interior (Image Heavy)
Looks nice, maybe a little too dark on my monitors though. Looks like your diffuse textures are all consistently dark. Maybe lighten up the stone so some of the wood/metals pop a little more. The lighting could use some more color variation. The torch particles are a very rich orange but the light they're giving off looks… -
Re: Can Zbrush completely replace maya or max for modeling.....
Introducing zbrush where it isn't explicitly needed adds time to the schedule. An experience hard surface modeler can pump out hard surface assets faster than it takes to sculpt a rough and retopo or noodle into shape in zbrush. From what I've seen with stylized diffuse only work, it adds about an extra day of work but you… -
Re: Shields!
So I'm messing around with this shield in Sketchfab and Verold but I'm finding it impossible to get it to look how it looks in marmoset. Seems the diffuse is way too dark and the specular doesn't apply in the same way. Anyone got any tips for better consistency across renderers? I'd really like to have an interactive… -
Re: Marmoset Toolbag 2.03 with DOTA 2 shader support is officially out
So two things: First off, you need to add a transparency type to the transparency module, you probably want cutout in this case. Click the dropdown on the right corner to pick the type. Secondly, it looks like you have "Alpha from normal map" checked, which means the shader pulls the alpha out of the normal map alpha. Turn… -
Re: Liz P
Your diffuse is fighting against your seemingly hard work on the high res. Give it some love or it just breaks it entirely. gradients are nice and all, but it doesnt look like you are attacking the color in any logical manner. Beat it up! Paint with a bit harder brush and commit some color variation in areas where its…
