Re: My two newest models
if I could see your UVS then i could probably tell you how to arrange your texture space better so those reflectors on the side of your trailer don't look so pixelated. Are you mirroring your UVs? If your not you can mirror at least half of that trailer and save yourself a lot of texture space, and you will want the more… -
Re: Folio quality in actual games.
I've also always wondered this. If one pixel is off on your portfolio model that you post on a forum, people will point it out and expect it fixed. Then you go play, say, that new third person military action game, and there is a tree in the second level with a bad seam and stretched UVs staring you in the face. I would… -
Re: Seams on normal map.
Yes small artifacts like that are normal (no pun intended) when having hard edges like that. It's due to the fact that a hard edge is in essence splitting that edge. The only thing I would look at changing on the highpoly is that inset edge that runs the perimeter of the blue piece. That inset is super sharp resulting in… -
Re: "Rounded Corners" shader - shader authors help!
Just based on the shot you provided in the image, I can't really see the benefit of this approach. The resulting shader looks like a really bad normal map bake, and it seems like you could accomplish rounded corners with less R&D, bug fixes, and other jiggery-pokery, and having a better looking result just by taking your… -
Re: DDS cube maps - Maya LT - OSX (edit: solved)
I have no problems making the source pixels. It's saving them in a format I can use. The photoshop DDS plugin is windows only I can make dds square files, but it seems Maya's LT reflection cube map node in shaderFX wants a cubemap DDS in a very specific format, and I need to find a way to author that using OSX tools if at… -
Re: [WIP] [UE4] Daenerys Targaryen
I like the addition of the glints. I think it helps to give the hair some texture/noise and shimmer. More hair stuff: 1. Added a forth lobe that is supposed to help with low absorbing hair at more grazing angles. * https://imgsli.com/MDg5NQ 2. Fixed an issue with the glints being too bright. Now the eccentricity works… -
Re: Has any one used PTex for their art pipeline? (INo UV creation required)
Well, as a tool within asset creation it is indeed fantastic. For instance you can very easily sculpt a rough shape in mudbox, and use ptex to apply a first texturing pass without having to prepare UVs or go back to level0 to unwrap. I dont think that automatic UVs creation will ever be a reality for realtime use tho,… -
Re: Stagecoach Critique Request
Looks good! The bake came out pretty good. For your low poly, and the undercarriage specifically, there is a ton of detail that just isn't priority. So you have shave off a few hundred tris down there if you want. But 16k for a 'hero' vehicle is an acceptable number for next gen. Your uv layout looks like you added padding… -
Re: [blender] a question about geometry...
@Mink Not sure what you mean by 'should take the same amount of time', if rendering, the 2nd version has more vertices so it will take longer. @oraeles77 As for baking, you have sharp edges in the same places so you'll hardly see any benefit unless you use a custom cage. You might benefit from using the 2nd version if you… -
Re: 1995 London Underground Tube Stock
Ok, I'll go ahead and say that you got carried away lol. Windows-Keep the frame! You still need volume in it and it will help border the window plane in place. You are right, the glass goes over the internal frame, but not external, it's embedded. Doors-They were fine before, why did you make them a single piece? Change…
