Re: game character workflow
Dan: the reason it works is that the low poly UV layout is what is used to generate the normal map. The normal map is formed via projection through the geometry of the low poly onto the high poly and returning the surface normal at the location of each pixel in the map size you choose. You can map whatever you want into a… -

Maya 2014 - Can Quad Draw Create UV's Like 3D Coat does?
Ok so for reference I was previously using 3D Coat for doing my re-topology since it also Lays out new UV's so there no need to manually unwrap after retopo. Maya 2014 and its new "Quad Draw" feature however I found it doesn't layout UV's like 3D Coat does so my question is... Is it possible to have it layout UV's? my… -
[UDK] Sci Fi environment - Feedback please
Hey guys, I posted here a while back, but am using a new account instead for professional use. I'm currently making a scene using pieces that I've done for XstreamTech, on an indie game project. The scene I'm going for is a Sci-Fi theme, in a hall-type environment, with a gate at each end. I'd like to get some feedback… -
UDK map - Chinese Environment
Hello all! I'm finally starting my first UDK map. It will be relatively small map, based on ancient china. The goal is to create all the modelling, texturing and everything else pretty much from scratch. I started with creating first stone blocks texture for the ground. This is the zbrush sculpt (each tile is separated, i… -
Re: Just a little rant about software installation!
[ QUOTE ] OK, I wasn't aware that the language selection meant using a different set of fonts. Which fonts exactly do Americans need that "International" English speakers don't? Or vice-versa? My keyboard is a UK layout, it has a $ sign on it. The currency symbols are the only ones I can think of that should differ between… -
Re: Normal map distorted\displaced in Painter bake
Disagree on several points Nobody should be using xnormal in 2022 (or after about 2016 really) - it's obsolete like .tga Don't use a cage, they're not necessary unless you're dealing with something complex like fingers. Assuming your high and low Res mesh are closely matched you will be able to fix this by experimenting… -
Re: Where to find good Cubemaps?
Just for use in Maya, with the DX11 viewport shader. So, the same sorts of maps you'd use in game, but with an entirely horizontal layout, much like this, instead of the cross layout often seen.: Some people, I've noticed, upload each individual square separately, which is fine, too. So, no use having real HDR data in the… -
Re: Substance Painter - Latest Build - 2019.1
Is there any way I can change the new 2.4.1 layout to the old 2.2.1 lay out? I don't really like working with the sub-shelves. I've been trying to use the sub-shelves but I just don't like the way the feel while I work. I know I can un-dock the Sub shelves and put them next to each other but having to do that back and… -
Re: Nagant Revolver PBR practice
UVs seam quite sloppy, especially the barrel area. All those lines that are straight in 3d should be straight in 2d as well. When you have a bunch of slightly angled edges in your uv layout, it won't hold detail nearly as well. It only takes one pixels to draw a straight line, however, you need 2 at minimum to draw an…
