[3DS Max] Turning Materials into Vertex Colour
Hi Polycount, I prefer using XNormal to bake my textures, and require a Colour ID texture. Therefore, I'm baking one from my high poly object. Inside of 3DS Max 2016, I have assigned various materials to different parts of the high poly object, acting as the Colour IDs. The screenshot below shows my high poly object with… -
Re: Vertex Lighting Bake - Thoughts?
At work we use a similar solution, and it works really well. You seem to have a concern with baked vertex lighting interfering or fighting against a dynamic lighting solution? I'm not certain how your system is setup, but ours works great together, and i'll tell you a little about why. First off, Dynamic Lighting & Dynamic… -
[3DS Max] ISSUE with Vertex color being converted to int8 when exporting
Hi everyone, I'm currently encountering a big issue here, and everything makes me think that this is a big issue from 3ds Max. Here is the problem: I'm baking some pivot positions into vertex color using MAXScript. I use standard methods sush as "SetVertexColor" or "meshop.setMapVert" on channel 0, which is the vertex… -
Re: Vertex colors for storing PBR information
wouldn't it go both ways - if you need to change the mesh you'll also have to update the vertex colors every time. overall i think it mostly depends on the functionality you have available to apply and preview vertex colors vs doing it via textures and how easy it is for vertex colors to get lost in translation. personally… -
Maya 2015 Baking Vertex Colours Help
So Maya's paint vertex color tool has an export option, which doesn't have fill texture seam option, but more detrimentally, only exports vertex colours, not face colours; it averages adjacent face colours an exports that value as the vertex colour. So i've been googling like crazy and the only result i get is this:… -
Vertex Paint: Blending Textures, Pros & Cons
Hey Everyone, I've been doing some work in UDK and started using the vertex paint mode. Its really really nice and easy to use. However, I have seen quite a few people use evenly subdivided meshes when vertex painting. A lot of the time a similar result can be achieved by using a modular setup. I'm wondering if, generally,… -
tessellating a mesh based on special texture with dots for vertexes?
I wonder if any way exists In U4 for doing this? Not in run- time but rather like a special automatic first lod creating technique? I mean instead of doing typical height map based adaptive tessellation a special texture that could point where each new vertex should be spawned exactly. Its vertex ID /order and its relative… -
Re: VERTEX 2: Official Thread
We have a new website to get ready for VERTEX2 and GDC! We hope you like it and enjoy the new content that is on the site. We still will continue to bring you VERTEX for free and do not plan on selling it for profit, donations are welcomed but are not needed. We hope that you enjoy the new website! See you @ GDC San… -
UDK Material - Vertex Paint being cancelled out by up-vector math?
This post is also on the UDK Forum here, I just REALLY need this fixed :/ I have a material that I want to go on a trench-like mesh. I need it to blend between the surface/wall textures and can do this using a Constant3Vector Dotted with a Transformed Vector, and use this as the alpha of a lerp node to blend between the… -
Rendering Vertex Colors in 3DS MAX
Hi Polycounters, I'm having an issue rendering vertex color information in 3DS Max. The texture and vertex colors show after enabling the 'vertex color' & 'shaded' option in object properties inside the viewport, but it doesn't render. In my understanding it has something to do with the material. I've tried both the 'Mix'…
