I think I figured it out. Set viewport to material mode and in the material window, tick shadeless and vertex color paint, that way, the colour picker samples only the color information. I seem to be getting a lot of lag from vertex painting the default cube to which I have subdivided to get high res texture. I am looking…
just looking for some advice to improve my hand painted tile sets im working on. not sure how to make a really good looking stone tile. this one will be for a stone road so the gaps will be removed to allow for dirt or grass (depending on the area) to show through. i also am not sure how to do ruff rocks for a cliff face.…
Hello, just wanted to showcase something I did last year. The project started as a bunch of gigeresque t-shirt designs I was making in free time. But at some point someone told me that there would be a SF & fantasy convention in my city and that perhaps I could display this kind of artworks there. So I contacted one of…
Ideally, we'd prevent you from switching channels while painting. Color paint layers are per-channel, they're not global paint values. This is likely why it's breaking for you. I'm not sure why you'd have issues with the paint applying. Are you using SUITE 2.2.1?
I'm a huge fan of vertex painting but sometimes I wish I had more verts and adding them sometimes seems like a waste especially on larger surfaces. So I thought about using mesh paint instead and wanted to share this in case it might help someone. Here is my test, I ended up using the same setup as a typical 'advance…
Hello there, I'm having a problem with an important assignment I'm doing in Mudbox... I want to preserve previous versions of my file before I do anything drastic and possibly ruin it. What I did was just copy and paste my .mud file and rename it (assignment_copy for example) and then opened it. (I tried 'saving as' but it…
Poly Paint Major
Lag Issue! At my wits end today, loaded up the
model, switched to low res view and tried to paint as I normally would,
encountered huge lag on screen, almost unusable…it wasn't doing this last
night! I tried to dig around on-line for
answers, read in a forum that over a million active points can cause…
I remember watching Mr. Ross paint his happy little clouds and simple-brushstroke-trees as a kid, always amazing to see how quickly he could whip up a landscape. Was hilarious in college cause one guy (who could actually paint pretty damn well) swore by his Bob Ross paint brushes, and refused to paint in class if he didn't…
So i've been setting up my material layers in UE4 for my scene and I want to use vertex painting to paint on moss instead of masking it so i can have more control and make adjustments on the fly. The problem is i cant get vertex painting to work, right now i have it in a blend layer because doing it from the material…
Hi Polycount! Long time lurker here, first time posting. I finally landed my first job in the game industry about 8 months ago(!!!) as a 3D artist, it's been awesome and I really owe this community a big thanks for all the wisdom, laughs and inspiration it has given me over the years. So, thank you Polycounters! But I've…
