Ugh, yeah lots of tools don’t display normal maps the right way in their thumbnails/viewers. Here’s another tip: Normalize your textures! I made a couple SBSAR procedural filters for normalizing textures, since I couldn't find reliable tools for this. Maybe these filters can help you! Normal maps should always be…
I’m trying to identify the noise used for the edge, not the gradient. This texture was generated by ChatGPT, but ChatGPT could not guide me on how to recreate this effect myself. The edge has a cloudy, wispy, directionless look. What noise or technique is typically used to generate this kind of texture?
Thanks to everyone who applied—really appreciated the portfolios. The role is now filled. Project Indie mobile game (solo developer), fixed-price contract; modeling +
texturing only (no rig). I’m developing a mobile puzzle game in Unity 2022.3 LTS (URP). I need a stylized-but-believable
marmot character (red with blue…
@5rettski Observation and speculation can be informative but sometimes the best way to learn is to actually recreate the effect by starting from first principles. It may be helpful to break this problem down into it's constituent parts then work through solving each of them individually to build up an understanding of the…
I wanted to share something I came across while looking at models and textures from Borderlands 2. There is a 3D model called WreckedVan that is used all over the game. It comes with a 2048 diffuse map and a second packed mask texture. The size might seem large for 2012 but given that it was standard practice to give…
Hi there so I got this question and bare with me if the answer is so obvious. Just I like to make sure or see if there is something else I should keep in mind for the future. I'm full of questions and get better understand of the pipeline :) So I finish following this tutorial of this model that turned out well. Now I like…
Thank you for the precise explanation, I really appreciate it. I just can't believe I forgot about the limitation of number of attributes per vertex, now it's clear to me how "baking" those attributes could be useful. However, would it be correct to assume that you're talking about data extraction from low poly object…
Hey everyone! Thanks for checking out my post. My name is Arthur, and I’m a 3D Generalist with 4 years of industry experience, currently available for freelance and contract work. I operate as an individual sole proprietor, managing a fully licensed 3D business based in Brazil. This means I am fully equipped and…
This is a dust off / remaster of an old piece that's about ten years old by now (barf, time, why?). It was originally done in UE4 with Quixel Suite for the texturing. This project is special to me for a variety of reasons, but it definitely needs a facelift to stay in the portfolio. I'm mainly looking to improve the…
