Hair Material Issue
Hi polycounts forums, I have a problem which is that I can't seem to get the hair translucency to look good on any mesh. For example: That is a mesh that consists of three hair clumps, it's just a test to see how hair is gonna look. So For that one I made a texture in photoshop that has RGB information for the hair diffuse… -
Normal Maps Again
Im trying to see if I can find and justification to give to our programmer about incorporating 3Dc or DXT5_NM for tangent maps since I found out the engine we use can only do tangents - period. . I found nvidia's showing Ids document about the different normal map options.… -

Re: How to properly make textures for buildings?
To anyone who uses UDK I had a quick question that I cannot find the answer to. If you want your game in UDK to have in game options for graphics like textures (EX. Select Texture Quality: High, Medium, Low), do you manually make multiple versions of the textures? Or is there a script that can manually scale them down?… -
Re: Weekly Substance Challenge - Week 1
cheers man! So when it comes to doing my diffuse i will use some of the noise generators from the noise tab. Sometimes it is worth applying a Histogram Scan to them so you can get rid of the "wishy washy" nature of some of them. I also use a lot of masks from my Normal map. so where i have cracks, i will feed that into the… -
Re: DDS cube maps - Maya LT - OSX (edit: solved)
I'm not aware of any OSX tools to do this, however, If you just need a standard cube map (no diffusion blurring or anything like that) you can hack this together in any 3D app that has baking, provided you know the cube map layout (usually it's all in a line or in a cross format). If you have a sample cube map that works… -
Re: P-51 Mustang

Re: Captain Nemo's office
Thanks for the tips, Vig. I was using the walls on the right for a general color guide, as that seems to be the dominant color of the ship's interior, but I found the disparity between what I saw in Photoshop and what it looked like in UDK made adjusting the diffuse pretty tricky. I got some funky light errors when I tried… -

Asset texturing in Mudbox, issues
Related to asset creation - does anyone use Mudbox for texturing objects? I have a problem where projection painting using a 2k seamless texture map applies really low-res looking textures on my object, unless I re-create UV's at like 15 tiles, but then the problem lies where exporting the FBX to UE4 gives 15 materials…
