Re: How to fix Zbrush Udim displacement seams
After some testing, the alternate method using layer blending works* sort of.... there are still seams, but you have to be extremeley close up to see them. I had to set the layer amount to -0.45 which sounds like an oddball number, but it was what looked best visually. Still though, the first method is much cleaner. -
Re: Feedback – Finished Blockout / Early Set Dressing
The proportions in the concept are fairly consistent when it comes to aligning decorative and structural elements. On the upper staircase the stringers and mill work land almost directly on top of where posts would go on either side of the opening in the wall assembly underneath the second floor. The panel work covering… -
Re: (WIP) UE4 Colonial Kitchen
Week 4! With it came a good amount of headaches since it was baking time and I realised a good amount of my UV's had issues. It was a big back a forth for a few days between fixing the UVs and testing the bakings. As well as having to rework some models that have a few issues too. I also got around to start working on the… -
Re: Marmoset 4 SSS problem rendering with raytrace
When ray tracing is enabled, each texture set is effectively treated as a unique mesh object. This can cause some seam artifacts along the material borders. We are investigating potential fixes for this, but for now, it is a known limitation. A workaround would be to remap the UVs so they are all on a single texture… -
Re: UK tax payers to cover 25% tax break
Well foil hats aside, tax break is going to mean great things for the uk dev scene. We are slowly turning into Australia unfortunately where the dev scene is in real trouble. I always saw the recession as survival of the fittest and that we as an industry we had become over inflated and unfortunately now we see sequel hell… -
Re: im reworking on a dumpster/rubbish bin I made in 2016, this time with better geometry for HP stuff..
You won't get much details out of a bake if you only add subdivisions without considering how the object will look after you subdivide it. High poly doesn't necessarily mean using a high amount of edges to represent and object, it only needs the right amount of edges to keep the shape when subdivided. As already said in… -
Re: [UE4] Darksouls Style Dungeon
Awesome! I'm trying to learn as much as I can, so if you wouldn't mind, I have a few questions regarding this: I normally use 3 images for each material to encompass: Color, Normal, Roughness+Metallic+AO. I can totally see how reducing the amount from 3 to 2 images per texture save quite a lot of resources. However, your… -
Re: The best of Polycount (or suggestions for PC Showcase gallery)
I don't think the Showcase/banners are necessarily intended to show off all the awesome work that goes on here, one look through 2 or 3 pages of the WAYWO thread is enough for someone to realize that there is a huge amount of exceptional work which deserves to be seen. Not to say that the ones which are currently in there… -
Re: Digital Camera for texture sourcing?
I recommend investing in a low end DSLR camera. You can usually nab the basic ones for about $500 and they will give the highest quality that are needed for texture sourcing until you get a full frame dslr which run $1800+. To get the best photo with the least amount of lens distortion you will want to stand as far from… -
Re: Normal map with weird angle
Guiramo: I'de prefer to never knowingly use work-flows and procedures that will add more work and more time to asset creation, i guess that's a personal thing but it doesn't seem that crazy to me. =P Your last sentence I agree with. If: A. you'll never have to rework it and B. you want the absolute min amount of geo at all…
