I'm trying to get my lightmap to render properly within 3DS Max. I have a RGB MULTIPLY with my DIFFUSE and VERTEX COLOR connected to its inputs. I have my LIGHTMAP plugged into the SELF-ILLUMINATION slot under MAPS in the material parameters. I'm getting strange results because of the vertex color, and am unable to render…
Anybody know about a way to assign multiple materials to a mesh via a mask? It would be impossible to assign the materials via faces in maya. Basically the idea here is to have lots of little details on a mesh get assigned a refractive shader while the rest of the mesh is a standard metallic shader. After a bit of…
Hi. I'm making game character in zbrush and for now, every part is a different polypainted subtool with their own material. To make low poly I want to merge parts like body, boots, coat etc. into one mesh. I can project the polypaint but not materials. Is there any way to do this?
Hello, I have created a metal tilling texture in Mixer. In SP I have created anotherbaked metal texture map. Is it possible to refine the metal look so the two texture match better?I'm now getting two different metal textures/pieces in my unreal scene. Hope it makes sence.Or would you need to tweak the Roughness settings…
Hey guys, a friend of mine needs to make a character that has at least decent skin but only using Max's standard material. Since I've basically never had to do any pre-rendered work in my career, I'm not even quite sure there are any tricks he can use. Does anyone know of any tricks or tutorials on how you can fake a good…
Hi there. I'm having an issue in 3.02 where I cannot apply my material but only onto certain meshes, as shown in the picture below on the two bolts on the front panels. All of them are duplicates of the same mesh and the others seem to be working fine. I've tried reimporting, merging/seperating all the meshes applying new…
If I correctly understand you there is a way to do it but thru file edit. If you go to your QUIXEL folder ...\script\presets\Materials\... or your shared presets folder you can find a .xml file called like your material (just search it there). Open it with Notepad of Wordpad and you will see something like that. (If more…
I was surprised not to find a separate section dedicated to game development, so I'm asking here. While I learned a lot about making game assets recently, there are two topics that absolute mystery to me. The first one is how to make a ground for a game. Imagine having a road, a sidewalk, a gravel/dirt whatever. E.g. here…
So I know I am not the first to have this problem, but I too am having a situation where the new version of DDO in QS 2 onwards (with the latest release which I downloaded yesterday) where I can add materials - but they do not show up in the browser, negating my ability to make changes to material colour, or masks! Now I'm…
How would I transfer my materials from Quixel DDO and Megascans to Substance Painter? Like if I wanted the raw materials that come stock with Quixel in Substance, is this possible? Reason I ask is because Substance Painter runs much more quickly and smoothly on my PC, I like Quixel NDO, and their textures are far better…
