Re: Materials and texturing help
Ok so you need to start looking at existing texture maps and seeing what they do. Most models these days will have a colour, normal and specular map- here are some basic uses of each: Colour does exactly what it says on the tin, the colour. think of it as the paint on the canvas. Normal maps are used to fake high poly… -
Re: I need advice on simple low to high poly workflow for curved quad geometry
For some reason TurboSmooth is unable to deliver proper normals, though, so we slap a Smooth modifier on top of the stack. The result is pretty nice: Artifacts near the "cutout" segments on curved face sequences are still there in a few places, and artifacts between three flat areas are completely gone: This is as good as… -
Re: Can someone explain this metallness/PBR thing to me.
Yes, metalness maps should generally be 0 or 1. Metalness defines whether the surface is a raw metal or not (this is important, painted metal isn't metal for instance, its paint). For metalic surfaces, the specular intensity is pulled from the albedo map, while the diffuse is darkened to 0 (raw metals reflect nearly 100%… -
having issue with intuos 4 medium
Hi everyone I have been using my intuos 4 medium for few years now, and recently i have been facing some years regarding surface I think. Its like when i try sculpting (Zbrush) or when i try moving my stylus left to right on the surface, it sometimes either stops sculpting for a second or sometimes just opens the zbrush… -
Re: Simple chamfered model baking (High2Low or Low2SubD?)
There are many ways to do this, yeah. My workflow is that, if I'm sub-d modeling a hard surface model, I'll usually create the high poly first with a good topology, then copy it and optimize it down to a low poly by deleting subdivisions and control loops and other polygons which don't affect to the silhouette. Sometimes… -
Tablet vs Artist
Hello everybody, I read that the Surface Pro 3 is really nice for 2D/3D Graphics Artists, with some competences like the Yoga 3 and some others.. Now, I travel a lot and need something smart that allows me also to work with a nice touch pen... Did anybody try or use or maybe have feedback and opinions about this two… -
Re: PBS help
It looks how I'd expect it to given your description of the smoothness/metalness textures. It sounds to me like you're expecting your smoothness map to behave like a specular map would, where dark values = less reflectivity. This isn't the case with a smoothness map : dark values mean that the surface is rough. Rough… -
Re: Generative AI to make tire skids decals?
Two Listen thanks for your comment . it's really that way . Mostly a waste of time and nowhere close to replace people here. As of 30 min Photoshop work it's sort of shows itself in many car games . Manually painted skid-marks , totally out of physics context when wheels gets different pressure, diffrent side of contact… -
[Finished Work] Another sci-fi corridor
Just posting some work that I finally completed earlier this year. It sat for many years as a blockout on my hard drive. Due to some down time, I was able to start working on it at the end of last year. Inspired by one of Tor Frick's pieces, as well as work on some of the Alien films I wanted to tackle some science fiction… -
