Re: tf2 lighting and import problem
Try this:"VertexlitGeneric"{ "$baseTexture" "models\player\items\engineer/kepi" "$selfillum" "1" // Cloaking "$cloakPassEnabled" "1" "Proxies" { "weapon_invis" { } }} Its one of the most basic VMT files you can do. You can start adding to it and see where it goes wrong. Or comment out (add // at the start of the line) all… -
Re: Highpoly for cars.
No, my answer was assuming you would do that, when you create a highpoly and bake it down to a low, you're replacing the low's normals with the high. I mean that is the base concept, so if you leave parts out of the process, you're relying on simple vertex normals of the lowpoly mesh there, which is alway going to look… -
Re: TRON - PLAYER - The Flying Monk
Duncan. Everyone else was making stuff for the new Tron, so I felt the need to represent the retro version. No texturing updates. I was having a hard time with it. Old school, straight diffuse style texturing was never my strong point. But its starting to not look like complete crap so I'm hoping it will all come together.… -
Re: Maya 2015 : bug reverting Uv's modification at export + de-assign material
It's my favorite illogic puzzle! Ok so is there any pattern to the UVs reverting? Like they're conforming to another similar-named mesh? Try checking Hypergraph With Heirarchy to see if you have any obviously funky inputs. Is it only the normals? I'd try moving the object, then save/reload. The Optimize Scene Size function… -
Re: Art Test Questions!
Sounds like almost every art test I've done. In most cases, especially talking about larger studios with pipelines already set up, the work you produce for an art test is completely unusable and the assets would just sit in a recruiting folder deep in the recesses of local network setups that no one will ever look at… -
Re: Expert in a year - 3D artist
About bevelling in geometry Vs baked beveling. You don't always have to bake a normal map for every asset. Whilst it's definitely good practice at this stage it's perfectly fine to just model a lowpoly asset with beveled edges or custom vertex normals without having to model the highpoly counterpart. And then details like… -
Re: Final Major Project - Popbots/Westworld
Hey guys! Haven't posted in a while! been extremely busy and had a few personal issues I had to deal with but now I'm back to updating! I chose the second design on my previous concept sheet to develop, started modelling the rifle now, currently a WIP. Currently the Polycount is at around: 6547 Parts are separated into… -
Re: Maya Modeling questions coming from Max
The bonus tools (an "official" plugin) have an xray selected objects option, under the display menu. I find the new modeling tools don't work very well with multiple objects.. and it's kinda annoying, for example, you can't even select two objects, both in vertex mode, and drag a selection over them anymore. Freeze… -
Re: Cinematic Teaser Using Photogrammetry [Bachelor Project]
Created a master material for the ground which allows me to blend the above textures along with some snow through vertex painting: And finally got some lighting going which I kinda like even though it still requires some work: (Finding it super hard to do outdoor overcast lighting which is not super boring) Also imported… -
Re: Draw Calls Vs Material Instances
If you're truly concerned about draw calls, be sure you have some diagnostic drivers installed so you can accurately judge what is happening. UDK tends to be rather good with its culling and instancing. You may wind up with 6 of one and half a dozen of the other in terms of performance given the options presented. Why not…
