Hey everyone! I’m a Senior/Lead Environment
Artist with about 7 years of industry experience. For the last 3.5 years, I've
been heavily focused on building modular environment systems for a VR project. Anyone who's worked in VR
knows the constant struggle between visual aesthetics and aggressive
optimization (though to be…
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!
Heya, Just because "4K" (meaning 4096*4096 really) is a thing doesn't mean that using "4K textures" is necessarily enough to carry something like a full character on screen. If anything, conservative/old school techniques consisting of splitting sheets logically and tightly is very much current and will not become…
Transform a textured low-poly 3D mesh into a detailed high-poly sculpt so I can bake normal map. It's a chibi but has defined muscles, you should have strong knowledge about man's heroic muscles. We will need a zbursh file, progress images, or a video of the making process (so we can use it on social media). Budget: $150.
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…
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…
This isn't the best way to describe the difference between a tiling and a non tiling texture. They are both texture maps. The non tiling one can be called "unique" texture because its unique to your mesh uv layour. The masks can be created in Substance Painter. Look up layered material workflow with SP and UE4. There are…
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…
Ok after rechecking all my textures, mesh, etc. It seems that the problem was only because at some point I changed my UV position of the part behind my pants :# ... Sorry for wasting your time. And thanks for looking with me what could have gone wrong.
