Re: Proper linear workflow
For now you'll get quite different results between Unity5 and Designer for various reasons: - in U5 the default PBR shader uses a blinn-phong brdf, we use GGX. Both have a very different specular response. For the same smoothness/glossiness value in both applications, the result will be very different simply because the… -
Re: Mental Ray makes material slots black
this problem is still present when i start new files. it's not my file. i never installed any other 3rd party renderers. with mental ray mode, i cannot render scenes in the render dialog, only with default scanline. there are no special materials in the scene, only the default gray material on all of my objects. but… -
Re: Designer Tessellation issue
As samnwck said, having a lower resolution hightmap will give you less details to work with. By the looks of it you're also using the 'cube' primitive, as opposed to the 'rounded cube' shown in the first example. The rounded cube mesh already has more geometry in it, so when tessellating you get a much higher resolution… -
Re: Modular pieces with curves
It's not "out of the box" for any of these, including max/maya, but the concept is really so basic that all you need is to strap together a simple tool to offset the module's transforms based on the difference between it's otherwise default transform in relation to the other module and the "attachment node's" transform....… -
Re: Paint Skin Weights in Maya 2011 causing vertices to move?
In 2011 the default normalization when binding a smooth skin is set to "post" (previous versions it was interactive) meaning that verts can have a total weight value less or more than one. That means, if you are removing weights from a vert, it will not automatically be assigned to a neighboring joint like it would before.… -
Re: Maya tangent space "transfer maps"
thanks for the reply ebagg. Unfortunately no as I need to know how maya by default has the channels setup. Is it left to right or right to left,down up or up down or like with xnormal, -X or +X, etc. Different game engines recognize these channels differently. If you have this wrong the model wont shade correctly with the… -
Re: Wacom tablet: Configure the pressure curve more efficiently
I just spent a little while messing around with it, but I ended up getting closer and closer to a really irregular curve. I lowered the pressure required for 'full', and then raised the 'deadzone' at 0 sensitivity since the default always felt far too light, like I almost have to take my fingers off the pen and just let it… -
Re: A horse is a horse yadda yadda (update WIP)
Well that makes it easy if you want to get it into the game. the first thing you need to do is get the ZIP files of the skeletons used in unreal 2004, pick the Gen Mo'Kai skeleton, and move the verts on your horse to bring your character into proportion with that skeleting, then rig it to that skeleton and export it as a… -
Re: Zbrush Zmapper.. POS? Get Normals into Max?
Chapter 3 in the ZMAPPER manual deals with scaling/ translation problems inside ZMAPPER, using two difeent objects with different topology. Its a pretty easy workaround to impliment but not something you would think of, off the top of your head. The centre of an object should be at the world origin not the object centre… -
Re: Questions about minimum hardware and running out of video memory
Most games assign startup settings based on detected video memory, and initially load into a small 3d scene main menu before entering the larger game to preview performance. Just, like, do that. And also, at the end of your project, run through and optimize everything. Add graphics settings to your mastermaterials,…
