Re: Can you vertex paint nanite meshes?
As mentioned you can vert paint nanite meshes, but you have to "apply" the vert paint which will make every instance of the mesh in the scene take that exact vert paint (any different vertex data breaks nanite instancing between meshes, ie be careful with spline meshes as each segment is not instanced and so on), so if… -
applying twist to spline per-vertex
im using 3ds max 2014 ok so ive made a spline with a sweep modifier that is a flat strip of cloth wrapped around a gun barrel: Im trying to figure out a way to twist the cloth in such a way that it aligns with the surface of the gun, but cant find out how. rotating the spline vertices does nothing, applying a twist to the… -

Re: Portfolio Critique Desired
Since you asked for brutal critique I am going to give my 5 cents as bluntly as possible. Here goes: - Focus on 3D assets as it clearly is your strong suit. - Remove the blog and twitter as it adds nothing and they are pretty dead anyways. - The header is too big and takes attention away from your work. - You shouldn't… -
Re: GameTextures.com - I, uh, how... huH!?
I can see that it is possible to get it working in UE4. That said, I'd like to suggest including more maps in the future. Even in UE4, working around the different texture types inevitably will involve different shaders for different specific scenarios and more shader instructions. I'd think just the following maps would… -
Re: Seeking career and skill guidance
Judging by your current portfolio, you're already off to a very good start. If I were you, I'd focus most on texturing and making sure you can get very good material definition. PBR shading/texturing is actually a pretty simple set of concepts, but they take a little bit of time to sink in. The best thing about PBR is that… -
Re: Bitmap2Material for hand-painted textures
Well, a good use is for tiled environment assets or substances you may wish to paint in painter. Take a tiled hand painted texture like rocks or wooden planks, plop it into B2M and immediately generate a pretty good set of maps, then use the sliders to adjust till you got something you like. Export. Done! Its a time saver,… -
Re: OVERKILL's The Walking Dead Weapon art dump
Hello! I guess its a matter of taste and old school vs pbr. IMO Its abit "gamey" to have very brushed edges but I try do some stuff to help showing difference betwhen planes. Small dents on edges, small surface differences to help the shape pop more and read more clearly even if it goes against pbr rules. Some weapons are… -
Cook-Torrance BRDF calculations inside materials in UE4
Hi guys :) So, the problem: Cook-Torrance calculations inside "surface" material domain works fine. I doesnt see any problem or artifacts. In case of "surface" domain, all normal or "N" calculations are taking from normal map transformed from tangent space to world space and then normalized. Calculations of same shader… -
using roughness/gloss maps with PhongE or Phong shaders in Maya
First time poster, but I've lurked for a while and found many helpful tips here. Now for the Maya question. I've just started doing some game modding, but due to limitations with the mod tool, only FBX models are accepted. Unfortunately, I can't get any PBR stuff to export (or appear in game) so it looks like the only…
