Re: Alpha Channel and Spec Map Issues
Hmm. Firstly, I don't know how would you multiple an image that's already blobs of black and white, and thus far with any image file format that handles an alpha channel I get this. That's just the diffuse, and it's been consistent with tga. and .tiff. When I tried to work around with .png I get the results above. When I… -
Re: Really Dumb Question about Specular Maps in Maya...
Wait, all I see when I click on the shader is COLOR, TRANSPARENT COLOR, AMBIENT COLOR, INCANDESCENCE and BUMP MAPPING. You're saying put it in COLOR? Isn't that were my diffuse goes? Secondly, I assumed that you can apply specular properties from a spec map on a Lambert shader. I thought using a Blinn shader is procedural… -
Re: Mirror creating seams in Max
Yes, I am using a cage. I tried cranking up the samples and filter size, etc, but it still gave me the same issue. I went ahead and redid the UV's - and afterwards I baked the AO without any issues, so, who knows. The lighting issues are fixed, and with the diffuse it quelled a lot of my smoothing fears. I'll be posting… -
Re: Sketchbook: maxoverdrive
@Dado: I've been zeroing in on the cell shaded material, the gray ones above are regular blender diffuse/specular, the one with the star field is closer, and the guns in this one feel even closer. In game, we will also have to figure out light sources, sensor overlays, and hopefully hdr lighting. (and still have it look… -
Re: [WIP] UDK Church
Take your diffuse texture in photoshop, and go to filter - offset, then move it around until you see the giant seam running down the middle of the picture. Fix that and and make it seamless, then offset it again. If you cant find any more seams from offsetting when your done, you will have one tileable texture :) Also it… -
Re: [Portfolio] Patrick Sutton
Sorry for dragging up a thread from a few months ago, (i was looking for your website after losing it off my bookmarks). This work is amazing, I love your crisp art style and the website layout is inspired! I was wondering if you have any advice for getting such realistic looking textures with such small texture… -
Re: [Technical Talk] - FAQ: Game art optimisation (do polygon counts really matter?)
I never added that one here. but maybe it could help some? It was an attempt for someone to create a detailled military box from... a box (=cube )... :) This is not really original work but it could help some to understand how to delete some polygons with "good" diffuse and some other shader?… -
Re: [WIP] AWSM .338 Sniper Rifle
It's taken me quite a while, but I'm happy with what I got. Learned an awful lot, and will have a much better idea of how to prepare my model for texturing next time. Hope you like :) AWSM Sniper Rifle - 6092 Triangles 2048x2048 Diffuse, Normal, Specular I'll have more views, and a full breakdown, when I post a thread in… -
Re: Simple AO tip for skin
I think thats a good point about it being dependent on the art director. Totally true. One company I worked for produced the diffuse by combining channels from object space maps with tangent space maps. Totally wacko, but the end result looked quite nice. I just found it too time consuming. I am certainly going to try some… -
Re: Polyurethane foam deformation
I tried something like this before but I just don't understand UV rotating part. I have flat UVs. My process before your post: 1. I created Standard material. 2. I chose Gradient under diffuse map (should be same as Gradient Ramp). 3. Changed color order white to black. 4. Also set 100% self-illumination for ignoring scene…
