Re: Upgrading or building a new PC? This is the thread for you!
@PolyHertz I have recently upgraded from a 5950x to the 13900k and it is so much better. The ram speeds tank so much when you put in 128gb. DDR4 goes only between 2666-3600 and ddr5 cant go above 4800 in most cases. I think upgrading the cpu is the one thing that speed ups your workflow so much. Importing to nanite? np.… -
Re: Frustrated with what's possible with game engines
I'd imagine a voxel engine would be more to your liking. No baking or worrying about how much detail you can add since everythings consistent in that regard. If you haven't already, check out MagicaVoxel and see if you find that type of art enjoyable. Also for hard surface, there's the face weighted normals workflow which… -
Re: looking for sci fi story ideas , let the brainstorming begin !
The nanomachines work like a grey goo (Or grey death if you're Deus Ex fan) multiplying and gradually mechanising banana eaters from the inside out without them realising. The Cyber banana people develop a new faith surrounding the worship and consumption of the banana, gradually bolstering the ranks as more and more… -
Re: Ryan Jessop Final Major Project - ARC Troopers
Thank you very much for your comments Alex (and by extension, Michael). I totally understand what you mean. The reality is, this is my first time modelling something like this with such curvature and so as I began modelling the main body of it, I made some destructive mistakes (i.e adding too many loop cuts where they were… -
Re: Why Ambient Occlusion vs Baking Into Diffuse?
I think this is a fascinating topic. Especially in high end realtime renderers like UE5 with Nanite highpoly assets, Lumen and VSM. We create our 3D scans with a cross polarized setup, which creates textures with essentially the real Albedo color values of the scanned object. Even with all UE5 features turned on (except… -
Re: Stacking Double RGB Vertex color Info into 1 Vertex Painting potential solution.
Yeah I guess youre right, white could also be used I suppose 1 bit masks are not super useful tho, with the 8 colors you do have pretty good quality still Its not fully true with the fixed cost, (havent tried nanite compression tho) I checked the sizes and if your number is 0, it naturally costs less memory than if you… -
Unreal 5 Displacement issue
Hello all. I have recently switched to Unreal 5 for work and I am wondering if anyone has come across a workaround for using displacement in materials? I realize tessellation has been removed from UE5 and through the use of Nanite you can achieve great things for static meshes. However, so far this does not work on… -

UV Straightening and its perks on LOD generation
This is a topic that has been reoccuring lately and i thought putting the info in its own thread is a good idea. I will be showcasing a method i have been using for way over a decade now, in 3dsmax. Which is to my knowledge the only tool that allows me to do this. Please correct me if i am wrong, i'd love to have this…
