Re: UV Tips and tricks?
I think the above post deserves its own thread. It's a tough call but here's my best guess based on the scene (actually my best 2 guesses). 1) Tile textures with some unique overlays. 2 for the ground, blended using whatever method available 1 for the concrete ground floor (with strategic cuts to start the brickwork in the… -
Re: ref_at_norm_incidence
Well, that's schlick's approximation, so it's safe to assume that it says "reflectance at normal angle". In essence that's your specular value. It's not a bad idea to check out how the actual fresnel calculations work. the value of R (in the context of computer graphics it's more generally referred to as f0) is calculated… -
Re: Tileable pattern generator - 3ds Max
So, I kept the sizes 256/512/1024 like suggested and changed the sizes of the boxes. For the 3:1 herringbone 90 the size is 64x21.3 instead of 48x16 and for the 3:1 herringbone 45 the size is 90.51*30.17 (calculated with diagonals because they have a different rotation. I only tought they where a little bit too big… -
Re: Performance question : multiples materials with custom AO
I jump on this today. I'm currently planning a new environments and I was grouping all the information I had about the performances in the UDK. I decided to do some tests by myself to be sure. And I meet a problem. This is probably me doing something wrong. I have made 2 meshes : the geometry is identical but one has only… -
Re: [FOLIAGE & UE4] ~ Grass, full 3D strands to cards LOD transition, is it possible?
@zachagreg I know how the LOD colour coding works, sorry for giving you the impression that was a mystery to me too. Here's a screenshot with just quad overdraw on (full 3D grass blades).... I've watched a number of tutorials on grass and none ever mentioned "alpha mipping" or "normal skewing". Anyway, just for the sake of… -
Re: Robo
cool man, gg on your first. uv's are not boring though!!!!!!!!!!!!!! aaaaaaaaaaaaah uv's rock your world, and you should come to terms with that learn to love them - its a puzzle, you've gotta fit as much of the mesh, into as small a space as possible, while retaining proper resolution for the parts that require… -
Need help with a MEL script
Hi I'm trying to use some MEL code to orient a EP curve control to a joint and while it puts the control in the correct orientation it offsets the control away from the joint. Why does this happen? The code is below: ___________________________________________________________________________________________ { string $sel[]… -
TF2: Polycount Pack, Week 1 check-in
This contest is an interesting one, isn't it? Those entering must challenge themselves in a number of interesting ways: You have a game with an extremely established art style, an art style wrapped around a time & place, and are limited in what you can (or cannot) create for this contest. The latter part of my last… -
[RELEASING] Photoscanned Materials packs
Hello, I'm working on Photoscanned textures for games. They're tileable, have accurate Normal and Heightmaps based on real-life geometry, and maximum of 4k resolution :) Currently I have: 1)Photoscanned Miscellaneous Materials -FREE- http://u3d.as/heB: -1 Pebbles -1 Dead leaves -1 Wood Chips 2)Photoscanned Grass Materials… -
Re: Unreal 5.8 Substrate Retroreflector Mat
I will absolutely look into doing clear-coat when I try to optimize this down. Thanks for the replies! I am back with an update. I spent most of yesterday refactoring my previous result, with a refocus on pushing PBR and trusting it over curating a certain look. I also dug an old reflector out of the garage and studied it,…
