I'm new to Quixel and currently trying to just create a set of texture maps from a seamlessly tileable image. I have created the normal map, which is working as expected. However, I am now trying to create a specular map from the normal map, via the map converter, and running into an issue where the left and right edges of…
Hey everyone! :) Wanted to start out by saying what fantastic work everyone has done on this challenge. It's been incredible to see not just the progress being made but the process breakdowns that are so beneficial for more junior and senior artists alike. There are definitely some techniques I've picked up that I hope to…
Hey everyone, I’m looking to put together a small team to build a free Five Nights at Freddy’s fan game. This is an unpaid passion project for building portfolios, gaining game dev experience, and making something genuinely creepy. The Game: I am keeping the exact setting and lore under wraps to prevent the idea from being…
I'm a 3rd year university student and I'm starting the creation process of developing a bunker room level kit for part of my course. This is my progress so far. I used blender for the modelling and substance painter for the texturing and would like some feedback on how I could make any of it look better mainly from a…
Hi! I think you can solve a lot early by doing some sketches before jumping into 3d. Once you're in the process of modelling, you can take a screenshot at any time and manipulate it, or draw on top, to explore different options. Drawing lines in on references, might help you understand their proportions and placement of…
This is actually my very first personal Unity scene and project, but because I am just learning Unity3D I created a scenario and experiment rather than a real or complete game. My basic ideas were to do something in unity that I know how to do in flash and just to play with a theme that I like (grid based board alike game…
Been integrating Meshy and Tripo outputs into UE5 pipelines for a while now and the generation step is no longer the problem — topology and textures come out reasonably usable for props and background assets. The problem is everything between export and the asset actually being in the project correctly. My current manual…
Here's one possible solution to modeling this ball, I'm using 3ds Max. I start with a sphere primitive and trace the pattern in orthographic mode with splines: You can then either conform those to the sphere or use any other modeling method to get the curvature. After fiddling with the shapes a little bit, you can quickly…
