I reached the same conclusion. Its a precision issue of the normal map. the Flat area of the normal is not 128,128,255 but fluctuates between that and 127,127,255 Your solution did not work for me as add/subtracting didn't seem to do anything. What end up working for me was flattening the normal with a value of 2 (1…
Hey all, Working on the head section of my mech — day 2 into texturing. Looking for feedback on how to improve grime placement and add more storytelling to the surface. It’s meant to be a functional military unit, not a relic. Any tips or critique appreciated! Thanks!
Before moving onto something further down the body I decided that I should get the helmet detailed and textured. The main detail that I added on the helmet were slight dents on top and a textured surface to the strap to make it look like leather, I then added a scratched metal texture to the helmet itself and the leather…

Maybe it's easier to make this inset first and "repair" this later... also depending on the tool.. here in blender: I start with the partly chamfered cuboid (like asked in the other thread).. So because the top and bottom are n-gons a loop/ring select (i always mix the names for the directions up :sweat_smile: ) a…
Hey everyone, thanks for the feedback! I still haven't had a chance to make the spec map. I spent this morning trying to redo the normal map to optimize the mesh and fighting with the AO map. The horizontal beam on the door has some AO that was rendered in max, the rest of the AO was made from the normal map. Ignore the…
@ KristianT - Regarding your question about making a scene in 3d app or in udk. If its for the rough size/volumes test u can do it in 3dapp. Not even need to get it into Unreal. It can be just for you to roughly estimate the possible size and composition of the scene. Basic boxes/cylinders r used in such case. Regarding…
Wow, that's an awesome response guys, thank you! Lawless Flogic: Maybe I'll add that option - if it doesn't require a butt-ton of new art to make it equally awesome. Paul Pepera: Thanks! I did the same, actually - that's probably why this sticks in my mind so strongly. skullsplitter: Have you given the webplayer build a…
