Modular Assets and Tiling Textures
I am trying to make my first big set and am trying to figure out how to break the chunks up into modular pieces and how to texture them. I want to use a tiling texture as the base and add details with substance painter, but there's too much surface area for the shells to all fit into the 0-1 space and tile. Is it okay… -
Re: Losing Your Artistic Voice to Convenient Asset Packs
^That is why rating system and inputs matter or you get these.^ I once saw "packs", as a means to "edit", said packs "if allowed", and make these things your own for the TITLES they are added to, not to re-sell.. in a pack way.... Is that not a thing that happens? Even if its a new texture at the very least re-texture the… -
Re: Will this be a problem ? (LP question)
I lean toward merging them because that is how I would have originally modeled it, but you do have a pretty natural break there and since it has been modeled as two separate pieces and the topology doesn't really match, you might want to cut your losses leave it as separate and explode/bake. Then moving forward keep in… -
Re: Toying around with normal map approaches
I was actually playing around with separating the UV shells in the Hard Edge version earlier today, and yes it more or less completely eliminated the nasty edges. Now it hit me that there is a "Warp Image" feature in Maya that lets you transfer texture data from one UV set to another UV set. So I figured maybe I could bake… -

Re: AI and future of 3d artists
Quick buck with 3D and freelancing after pivoting just recently - presumably without connections and without years of experience? Yeah that's not going to help to ease the starving. Might as well open up an OnlyFans and sell feet pix. 1000% better survival chances I reckon. -
Re: Sigh... it's one thing when people you don't know online promote game piracy...
No, Richard, that's not what I'm arguing. I'm arguing that, just like any product, the maker has the right to set the price as they see fit, and sell that product for that price. And just like any product, once they sell it, it's not theirs anymore and their customers can do whatever they want with that product. I'm… -

Hi, So i have a car that i have unwrapped. when i layout using only one UV tile it gives the correct scale for each UV shell in relation to each other ( the chequerboard pattern is the same size across all shells). The issue I am having is that when i layout across multiple UV tiles I get shells that are out of their… -
