Previous & Table of Contents This setup tints the specularity looking straight on and leaves it achromatic at the edges, which is accurate. How about a rough plastic now? At a first glance, this might look OK to some of you, but it's actually got too much specularity around the edges. If you observe some real-world rough…
Goal: Selective Blending Ultimately, what I want to achieve is the ability to selectively blend different channels of the decal with the underlying material. Examples: A metal bolt overwrites roughness, normal, metalness (usually) and color (in most cases) values. A crack might overwrite normal information and maybe…
Hey, I'm not an environment artist, but I do make hair cards which follow a very similar pipeline. You're right that the reason you would want to follow the shape of the leaves is to avoid too many overlapping transparent pixels but as engines have advanced, the amount that this improves optimisation is negligible and so…
Heya - Without even attempting to understand the reason(s) why, I find it odd that all the "BoxSoft" results shown in the above picture are all showcasing incorrect shading (since the faces should appear completely flat, yet they all display some amount of shading artefacts). So perhaps it could be interesting to also show…
lods are still standard practice nanite is amazing but it is not a magic bullet we still dont have enough memory for all the things because we fill it up with massive textures and buttloads of very dense meshes - you can't be lazier because you need to put more stuff in. a good lod is good for the same reasons a good lod…
like iam717 pointed out, you're definitely being a bit wasteful with your polycount, lot's of unnecessary loops there. There is the same amount of scratches all over the helmet and that feels kind of unnatural. Also judging from all the scratches the helmet presumably has seen a lot of use and yet I see no dirt or grime…
Hey, I'm creating a game in UE5 for myself in the evenings. An action horror in the future. I'm currently working on mounting weapons on the heroine's body. Anyone know of a good tutorial on how to embrace weapon straps by simulation? ?
I don't understand how you've gone two years wanting to learn and not learned anything. There's a HUGE amount of free resources online for this. Blender's tutorials alone should be enough to take anyone from beginner to at least moderate skill. Even just looking at those images should tell you a lot. How about starting by…
