Re: 3ds max: Blend Map vs. Complete Map
From what it looks like (I dont use max) is that with complete map you get it as it'd look when you render it out normally.. full bake... with all lighting information etc. etc... or well.. apparently you can skip out on shadows. A blend map is thus where you can pick what you want. So if you only want the diffuse you can… -
Re: Artwork Critique - Beretta, Hovercraft , Fire Hydrant
Hey therr, tried something new with the beretta. Gave it a really really dark basecolor in diffuse, didnt show up much change in Marmorset. So I tried maya and heres the result. I just added some very quick scratches to see about how it would look and I think this got a bit more potential to be like the real deal than the… -
Re: Bowman SciFi Rifle (Concept by dfacto)
Piflik... if those are your flats posted above then a majority of your problem is coming from you spec map. It is so dark for the main body of the gun. Like pitch black so its not going to have much spec to it. Take a look at the one Uly posted. See how the spec map is brighter then the diffuse. Metal gets its shine from… -
Critique on first "Mapped" Object
Hello there! I'd posted the other day asking for a portfolio crit, and after the comments I got there, this is what I came up with! I'd never really gone through the whole process of building both a high and low poly and transferring the details, or really working with separate maps (normal/diffuse/spec/gloss). But, I… -
[Maya] Normal map breaking lighting on render
Hello, I have an object that I'm trying to create a shader for, and whenever I apply the normal map to it, it breaks the lighting. The diffuse shows, but nothing else. It seems to stop accepting lighting whenever I plug it in. When I unplug the normal map, you can see the diffuse and spec fine. When I plug in the normal by… -
Help with an equation.
I have here an equation. where I is the RGB color to be displayed for a given point on the surface,kd is the RGB diffuse reflectance at the point,ka is the RGB ambient illumination, l is the unit vector in the direction of the light source, and n is the unit surface normal vector at the point. From what I can guess. kd… -
Ingram M10
Hi, It's my first attempt at weapons. My friend has told me that guys at Crytek use decals for labels to make them sharper. Maybe you know any other useful techniques? Please tell me what do you guys think. As always feedback and advices much appreciated! Shots: Wire: Maps: Diffuse: 2048 Normal:1024 Spec: 1024 Lables Diff:… -
Geometry becomes invisible as soon as a texture is applied to it
My characters head is visible along with all the other parts until I apply any diffuse to it. Then only the head becomes invisible. The same or any texture on anything else are fine. I have no alpha channel It's visible if I drag/assign an empty texture slot onto it, its visible in grey, but add a diffuse and nothing. (PSD… -
3ds Max 2013 - Weird problem with material or polygons
I edited some polygons on the object and suddenly everything has these weird shadows and stuff everywhere like http://i.imgur.com/pWNJ7.png and http://i.imgur.com/YRbwg.png My diffuse is done correctly. After I changed the polys, I added unwrap uvw modifier and exploded by angle. I've done dozens of other objects' diffuse… -
Pasting into alpha channel photoshop
Hey guys, that presentation of the zombie baseball team inspired me to use my textures more efficiently, and I would like to put my gloss and specular in the alpha channels of my diffuses and normals (if they have no transparency of course) Edit: Found it out, copy paste in photoshop is just confusing to me, gotta select…
