Re: Monthly Environment Art Challenge - July & August 2017 (49)
There are so much that needs to be done, from modelling to UVlayout , baking to texturing and finally representing. I like how you modelled the inside and make it looks like it could function and animated. Talking about the UV, I have not yet laid out anything as right now I am looking into buying the right software to do… -

Exporting Substance Painter 2 Materials to UE4
Hi, I apologize if this has been covered, but I haven't found any info on this topic. I want to export a Substance Painter 2 Material (not a textured asset) into UE4. Basically I am setting up layered materials in UE4 and I want to recreate a tile-able repeating version of the materials I am using in Painter 2. I know how… -
Re: Automatic UV Unwrap in Painter - Feedback Wanted!
What would be really cool for hard surface was if you could use the auto uv algorithm for packing uv islands that a mesh already has, if someone is using a piece of software that maybe doesn't have the best uv packing algorithm. Seeing a lot of potential here. -
Re: (Critiques) PBR Metal Barrel
He's probably just checking to see if that's the reason for the odd reflections. But to be honest I think It's down to your metallic value. Have you read Allegorithmic's guide on PBR materials? It's for substance but the theory is universal and can be applied to any program that uses the Rough/Metal or Spec/Gloss workflow.… -

Re: SUBSTANCE DESIGNER 2.1
The main advantage is that you don't store all these utility maps in video memory, you only store the final output. The other aspect is that you can do stuff that can't be done with shaders or will at least require a shader artist that can actually *write* complex shaders unless you are using a visual shader editor like in… -
Re: is Photogrammetry the 'big thing' we should all be learning?
It's not that much to learn actually. It's rather a matter of having nice camera and certain shooting approach. Rebuilding scanned things in Substance Designer looks a bit like a sport for a sake of sport or to prove something. Anyway best looking substances are usually a mix of scanned base and procedural extra details… -
Re: Monthly Environment Art Challenge - Nov. & Dec. 2016 (45)
@b0lly I was thinking on doing that way after the challenge to test the difference in performance, right now my mesh is not ready for that workflow, I'll need to add loops to maintain the edges. There is a video from allegorithmic that explains this workflow for the painter, you can use the theory on any texturing program.…
