I've been getting back into texture work and am always interested in reading ANYTHING about HALO art. Even this old stuff! :) I noticed one of the screenshots, https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/polycount/halo4/m80a.jpg REALLY reminded me of DOOM 3 and I checked and sure enough Kenneth Scott was a senior art director on…
Hi, we are a group of friends working on a story driven adventure. The story is inspired by true events based on the life of a puppet master in the state of Rajasthan, India; revealed through a puppet. What's the progress? We're currently at the start of the project. We have laid out our basic game mechanics and we are…
Hi guys! So I was wondering, should I create textures by myself or should I buy texture packs - I mean those texture packs which have a huge collection of high rez textures! Btw, I am still a student! Thanks!
Hey guys! I'm having problems with brightness difference in my greyscale texture maps. After exporting them from Substance Painter (PBR Metallic Roughness), and importing them to Marmoset, they appear brighter and makes my model way more shiny because of that. Anyone know why this is happening? I have tried tweaking the…
Hello, everyone! I was wondering on how you'd create large environmental pieces without losing out on texture density? For example, would you create the albedo in a bigger resolution and keep the normals as it is? sound silly, I know. To be clearer, when I say "large environmental pieces" I meant those non-modular pieces…
Greetings, I'm making a car asset for use with game engines. Currently, I have a 256x256 texture map assigned, to give the car model a pixel art look. The car is meant to have a LOD variation model, and a separate interior view model. It will also have different paintjob options. The entirety of the car model is already UV…
Atlases are made from packing a series of smaller textures into a larger one. Their main purpose is to make dealing with many small textures easier for the artist, and to improve performance (loading one larger texture can be faster then loading many small ones). Textures that are packed together in an atlas should have a…
Hi there, I have this strange issue when details from the low poly are baked into my texture as well as the high poly details. The model is smoothed and everything seems to be normal in settings, does anybody know how to solve this problem?
Struggled to find a nice easy to use Maya to Unreal Vertex Animated Texture tool, so I ended up making my own. Thought I'd share with the community here, so that anyone can use/improve it further for their own uses. It produces a both a normal map (World Space) and position map (local space - position map relative to the…
Been integrating Meshy and Tripo outputs into UE5 pipelines for a while now and the generation step is no longer the problem — topology and textures come out reasonably usable for props and background assets. The problem is everything between export and the asset actually being in the project correctly. My current manual…
