Re: Most effective way to create specular maps?
Well, you need a tool to edit the spec map and a tool to view its effect. The tool could be photoshop and you could use dDO, bit basically you just adjust the spec maps values. You could also paint the spec map in another program like Mudbox and see the effetcs in realtime, though only in "mudbox´s engine" and not in you… -

Building modular interiors question!
Im working on making a modular interior kit for a warehouse that has corridors, hallways, different rooms branching from hallways etc. I can't seem to figure out the best workflow for my situation. If I have an interior room wall that shares a wall with a hallway, should those be two separate meshes or should those be one… -
Re: [Realtime] Head UV, most texel density
https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/maya/learn-explore/caas/video/youtube/watch-v-s-KLbTUdKms.html In the above video, pay attention to the parts where they straighten the shells. You just do the same thing for the edges of the head. For instance, grab the UV's along the top part of your shell there, up until they start… -
Re: Anyone new / just starting want to get together?
Don't partner up with another newbie; you'll just lead each other down the wrong paths. There is nothing wrong with searching for a mentor when you're brand new; it'll just give you such specific guidance you'll learn faster. Join the polycount Discord or Slack! I started doing tutorials by myself when I first started. If… -
Re: Braided river, streams ?
This can't really be done without an evolutionary algorithm of some kind - at least not in a way that gives you branching and some sort of physical plausibility. It's not practical to implement that sort of algorithm in designer (it is possible) because each growth step must feed off the previous growth step and the only… -
Re: Can you tell the software used just by looking at the render?
With PBR workflows, usually not. Unless some dumbass decides to use viewport renderer in c4d or 3DS max. Unless it's unity. Unity has this very distinct deep fried smooth look to it. Something about the color management & lighting system in unity is just outright incorrect. No, it's not just set up wrong, or the wrong use… -

Re: The Jetsons's Spacecraft
Obviously use this if you haven't since "bumpiness" has been brought up. //assuming you are already just worth mentioning again. Things to mention, if you are making it your own that is a cool challenge. If you are replicating it, yes indeed you would need every occurrence of the vehicle. When i tried to use references… -
Sub-D Modeling for games or just do whatever and then remesh/retopo?
Hello, I'll repost it here since it seemed to be in the wrong thread before. Is Sub-D Modelling the recommended way to do game models? For hardsurface stuff, is it not easier to just use whatever 3dsmax or other programs offer. Like Boolean, Bend, Lathe, attach primitives to one another until the overall shape looks good…
