Atlases are made from packing a series of smaller textures into a larger one. Their main purpose is to make dealing with many small textures easier for the artist, and to improve performance (loading one larger texture can be faster then loading many small ones). Textures that are packed together in an atlas should have a…
Struggled to find a nice easy to use Maya to Unreal Vertex Animated Texture tool, so I ended up making my own. Thought I'd share with the community here, so that anyone can use/improve it further for their own uses. It produces a both a normal map (World Space) and position map (local space - position map relative to the…
I downloaded an object made up of flowers from the internet, together with the object there were 3 different textures attached for the different types of flowers. When I open the object it is a single block and if I try to drag and drop the image on the object it applies it to all. If I try to explode the object, thousands…
I have seen this van in many movies and games and always loved its design. Here is a high-poly subdivision textured model I made. https://youtu.be/PnFMxb-S7V0?si=XL903ZcbGBN87D4F
This isn't the best way to describe the difference between a tiling and a non tiling texture. They are both texture maps. The non tiling one can be called "unique" texture because its unique to your mesh uv layour. The masks can be created in Substance Painter. Look up layered material workflow with SP and UE4. There are…
I know it's a noob question, but why would you want to do anything but texture a mesh in the 0-1 UV space? For instance, say I wanted a mossy tree. Couldn't I just unwrap the tree in the 0-1 UV space and uniquely texture it getting the same result as if I used a composite of a tiling bark/moss texture? I'd use less…
Been too long since I did some modelling. Chose one of the interesting weapons in the Cyberpunk 2077 game. Loved the mix between future and past the weapon design had . Blender : Modelling/UV Marmoset : Bake/ Render Substance Painter : Texturing Zbrush : Small high poly details on some parts Thanks for checking out my…
I'm back with some more renders and updated textures from some feedback I got. Although the changes are subtle, I'm happier with the results and will continue updating it a little bit more before re-uploading the project.

I have started planning a texture layout for a building, and I am aiming to keep texture lookups (and thus draw calls) as low as I can, with horizontally tiling textures. For my needs right now, I have 2 1024*1024 textures, one with a tiling wall section and one with a bunch of different paneling & trim pieces (think sci…
