Re: Old Stone Fountain
Did you set the compression settings of the normal map to "TC_Normalmap" during the import? What I do to test the normal map in UDK is to apply a material with a one parameter of 0.5 in the diffuse and the normal map in the corresponding slot. Then I test the normals with a spotlight to look for any artefacts or errors.… -

Re: To Map or Not To Map - Modeling Mapping Question
There are some false and misleading information in your tutorial. When explaining AO maps you show shadows from direct lighting (sun) which is no ambient occlusion at all. Your AO map is probably not normalized, that's why it's mid grey rather than white with some darker spots (which would work just fine for multiply blend… -
Re: Foliage LODs
Speedtree lod tools are pretty solid actualy and quick to set up. I suggest you dig deeper into the documentation and study some example trees. Ther's no need to replace leaf meshes manualy. You can reduce Keep to say 0.5 for the last lod and compensate then missing meshes by adjusting Size Scale for the remaining ones.… -

It's unfortunate that… -
Re: Concrete Wall [C&C Needed]
Yes. Its the "specular map". You need a metalness map, but since its entirely non metal, you can plug a constant1 (0) to the metalness slot, and you should pull out your specular map. Its not needed at all. The specular parameter in unreal4 is for the specularity of the non metal surfaces. If I remember right, then the… -
Re: Photoshop non destructive layer mask?
if i understand you correctly, then you can just use clipping mask. its the same method as below but instead of text you use smart object. http://www.shutterstock.com/newsletter/205/Using_a_Clipping_Mask_in_Photoshop_Fast_and_Easy-2.html after you do that, you can load selection of the main image and apply it as the layer… -
Re: Decal technique from Star Citizen
Actually I meant the problem I have with the decal blending, but even better, now I have a solution for that problem as well. Awesome find, thanks for sharing, works like a charm! To my initial problem, I figured out that the decals blend albedo, roughness and normal maps quite well when set to max opacity 0.5. I just had… -
Re: Lunar Camera
ZBrush typically does a very good job importing messy geometry and Dynameshing it, I'd say a 90-95% success rate. For anything that doesn't work so well I run this macro on it in Max: macroScript QuickLowpolyStack category:"Bolton Tools" toolTip:"Quick Lowpoly Stack" ( if (selection.count > 0) then (…
