Hey guys I'm compiling a list of things in ZBrush that I wish were done better, and things I consider to be bloat or just not really carrying their weight, curious what sort of things come to mind for you. Happy to talk about the good things too though! I might be working on something.. cons - constant document resizing,…
I don't think its quality drop exactly. My idea is that "photo-real" on realtime rasterizing engine whatever advanced it might be still requires certain level of special visual style , an art transformation of reality . Not like usual stylized hand-painted games, typical for mobile games but still lots of show vs hide…
Looks great, kudos. A lot of decisions depend on the intended use of a model. Since you're rendering it to stills, you don't have any of the limitations of making something work in a real-time renderer like in a game. Therefore you could go pretty high with geometry detail, texture resolutions, UDIMs, etc. However it seems…
Unreal makes it pretty easy https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/unreal-engine/water-body-actors-in-unreal-engine I've manually created lava streams that branch and reconnect, just using extruded splines, one for each branch. Then welding the sides together where they meet side-by-side to make the main stream. The…
If you’ve shipped enough work, you’ve seen this moment: You approve a render. Someone changes one small thing. The final output doesn’t match what you signed off on. No one did anything “wrong.” But now you’re explaining differences to a client. That’s the problem we wanted to solve. The Real Issue Isn’t Quality — It’s…
as Noren says.. if you want any texture to be independent from another you need different UVs - eg. by using a second UV set, creating them in your shader or a combination of existing UVs and some maths personally - I'd tile an asphalt texture set in world space and blend it with the unique normals using some masks or…
if you want to go NPR you totally need eevee or a game engine. For realistic approach both are ok, but if you are unfamiliar with Blender, Marmoset could be more intuitive.
After looking at docs, it is quite a new addition. These virtual textures were added in 5.5 and sadly, I did not find a way to connect world aligned textures with this new mesh paint option. Link to…
Hello, Adding to the great info above : in its current state your head texture is already higher res than the one seen in the lowpoly TF2 Engineer demake. Therefore besides technical tricks like miroring or reusing UVs, you also need to practice painting textures at the pixel level, handling them in a impressionist manner.…
Hi everyone! I’m working on a material I created in Substance Designer, and I’m running into a visible tiling issue once I bring it into Unreal Engine 5.6. I’ve attached screenshots showing how it looks in the scene. The tiling (2x2) appears especially clearly horizontally. I’ve tried making small adjustments in Substance…
