Texture Atlas and Masking
Hi all, How does one design uv shells for texture atlas? I have been doing some decal texture atlas lately and writing my own shader to layer them. But I ran into a common issue where my UV shell doesn't quite fit the decal (too wide or too tall, for example). Because decals are packed quite closely together, scaling UV… -
Having some issues with seams...
Hey, I'm having issues with seams in my normalmap and I just spend a whole day trying to figure out what is happening. I have baked-rebaked with different cage meshes, different fbx export settings, xnormal vs substance, hard edges vs soft edges on the lowpoly, locked normals vs unlocked normals, fbx vs obj. But, 6hrs… -
[Maya] UV unwrapping is a tangled mess and driving me mad
The first issue I had was when I was cutting UV's there was a part of my model where 2 shells that had been completely cut, just would not split apart and sat on top of each other as one shell. I thought I fixed this by changing my preferences folder, to "old preferences". The 2 UV's were splitting apart. Now this is… -
Re: Blender Mega Thread
Hi, pior said: No problem, Edge padding - http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Edge_padding When a game model uses a single texture sheet (Texture atlas) the image will have areas that are used for the textures and blank areas between them. The used areas are often called UV shells, and the blank areas are often called gutters.… -
Re: Maya 2016 UV Editor Overlap issue
Make sure you don't have some other UV editing tool active when trying to select shells. Press Q and try your selection again. As far as I know, Maya won't know how to overlap specific UVs unless you overlap them manually or mirror your geometry after packing your UVs. The "per object" setting in the Layout options is… -
Re: District 9 Mech - WIP
Thanks, I am excited too! As long as you hadn't painted custom masks, the changes will auto-propagate. That said, I will have to use custom masks, so when I get to that point I will have to be sure the uv's aren't changing if I want to avoid doing them over. Yea these were all hand placed. Auto-pack algorithms are great… -

Hey pior, you cant spill all the super-secret secrets, man! First rule about Fight Club, you know! -
Re: Early testers wanted (platform for indie & solo game devs)
Awesome, good luck! Before diving in, try out a few game engines and see which one clicks for you: * https://godotengine.org/ * https://unity.com/ * https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US Start really small. A 2D sidescroller or top-down game is perfect. Just make a tiny bit of a level, then park it and try something… -
Re: Substance painter bake problem
Hey, glad you got it working! I assume what causes the problem with average normals enabled, is that it will sort of merge vertices at same location (in order to average vertex normals on hard edges). With the inner shell not offset at all, it gets merged with the outer shell. Here is a screenshot of the cage preview with… -
Re: Edit parts of material in negative texture space?
not sure what you mean by negative UV space (like moving some shells down a quadrant to the -1,0 square?) but, if you just need a way to target specific UV shells separately, can you use a second channel? That's pretty easy to work wiht a second UV channel in the material graph
