Re: Is there a way to bake a normal map with "overlaying layers" of objects on a plane?
Project UV from the plane to those small objects . Bake object /world space normal map. Apply it on the plane only and re-bake it to tangent space . Not a single click although . Also you could just double the plane, select the original, shift it a bit and use the rest as hi poly object plus another copy of original plane… -
Re: Exporting FBX to UE4 error flipped normals
The obvious answer is to flip the face normals then export again. The why of it is likely that the normals are flipped in max to begin with due to some quirk of the creation. Max doesn't default to enabling backface culling. select an object and right click, go to object properties, and select "backface cull" and see if… -
Re: Autodesk Certification?
I've done the Maya Professional Certification for 2013 and 2015. The difficulty seems to differ between tests, I thought the 2013 one was more difficult since a lot of the questions were extremely technical in nature, asking about details surrounding obscure file formats and render settings. The 2015 test was easier in the… -
Re: Mac to PC (Rebuying Software Concern)
I changed from Mac to PC two years ago and had the same concerns. Most of my software is multi platform (Modo, Substance, Mari, Nuke) so I could just download it for the appropriate platform. For Zbrush I was told to find a person who wanted to swap from PC to Mac and then Pixolgic would handle the transfer of the licences… -

Re: UE4 compressing textures??
Hi! I wanted to share a bit more of the math to make sure it's clear what's happening. So UE4 uses range of 0-1 for specular which gets multiplied by 0.08, and as previously stated this only gets used for nonmetals. So the default Specular of 0.5 gives you 0.04 aka 4% specular reflection for dielectrics. The reasoning is… -
Re: Pigarts Improvement thread *-*
Definitely some great improvements over 2015 (from this in your other thread), great work ! I really like it when people learn handpainted textures doing characters, not just weapons/flats - this is really promising. First I'd say you're using 90% too much solid black in your textures (from burn tool or too many…
