Vertex Paint with fake height between 2 materials? How?
Hi guys, I got to the vertex paint stage in my level and I am confused how to go about this issue. I am trying to create fake height difference between my top layer (wallpaper) and bottom layer (plaster). I am still learning unreal so figuring this out seems like black magic. This is what I got so far, (the mask for the… -
Maya - (Need Help!!) Cloth Rig, Cape/Shawl
Hi! This is my first post, so apologies if it is not formatted ideally. TLDR; I need help finding a method to rig a character's shawl/cape that follows their arms beyond basic skinning. Any suggestions, tips or explanations on a driven joint-based shawl set up would be very appreciated! I cannot use nCloth or nHair… -
Modeling from Reference 1-1 an Art or a Craft?
Hi, well, just as the title/headline says. Does modeling as a game artist who follow the reference 1-1 and try to recreate it in 3D and make it as close to the reference as possible considered an Art or just a Craft? I remember one time I was watching BlenderBros videos where Ryu have said that Modeling is craft and it's… -
Re: Quixel Suite - Ddo - Decals??
ok. so i think i have this figured out, thought I better post it and see if anyone knows if this is the right way of doing things. It's a bit off a faff about but it's certainly easier than doing it on photoshop. to get decals onto your Ddo PBR texture set: 1. [Photoshop layers] Import the decal into the albedo map. (make… -
Re: UVs distortion on mirrored geometry when SI to Max exporting
The main idea of solution is to create second UV set where UV islands' borders are the hard edges of the mesh (via Unfold). Then we export the mesh to two OBJs with different UV sets. In max - first we process the mesh with unfolded UVs - via TexTools' "Smoothing Groups from UV" algorithm (i've ripped a part of it into… -
Re: Zbrush UV and Baking Maps
I am not sure if the gun in the vid above is what you are talking about but what I would do in your situation is: Open the lowpoly in a modelling app that has a good uv editor to check the uvs and adjust them if necessary. That app would support GoZ as well. This to save exporting and importing the slow way. Send the… -
Maya Python Script - Trying to Fix Issues
It has some issues... I thought I'd post up the code and see if anyone has ideas... I'm finding it difficult to connect the floatFields to the value of the functions... and the selected vert mode doesn't work... Here it is. It's mostly an exercise in scripting #Import Necessary Modulesimport maya.cmds as mcimport random#… -
Z brush to max GoZ issues
Hi everyone, I'm having some issues when using GoZ with Max, so I decided to do some 'tests' to see if I could isolate any specific issues. Seems along the way I found a new one that I'm unable to solve. I created a very simple extruded shape in max. (just something to mess with) I sent it to Zbrush vian GoZ, all was well.… -
Keeping albedo, roughness synchronized in PS?
Hi, I often came across this problem while doing diffuse + specular: how to keep both maps synchronized, after I made changes in one of them. This wasn't a great problem though, because most of the time I was OK with using Adjustment Layers (with simple masks) over a copy of diffuse group to get specular group. Now, in PBR…
