Re: Asset Packages in UDK
Hey thanks guys. Turns out the version of UDK at school was a couple weeks old in comparison to the version I have at home. Everything loads up and runs fine at school now. Out of curiousity how do you accomplish the blending between indoor and outdoor lighting. I was playing around in DM-Deck and they had used heightfog… -
Re: [Finished] Sci-Fi Control Panel in Substance Designer
Recently, I've been watching stylized material creation from 3dEx Youtube Playslist on Substance Designer. If you're into stylized textures, definitely check him out. One quick way that I learned on how to make something look stylized is to add visible highlights around edges, and then blend those highlights with your base… -
Re: TMNT Sewer Lair: Personal Portfolio Piece
I decided to spend a few weeks learning and testing as many options as I could for baking normal and AO maps. I posted my tests and the links for most of what I referenced as well here: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1914269#post1914269 The last couple of days I have been working on a vertex blending… -
Re: Master Chief Fan Art
Depending on what style of hand painting you want to go in... if you're going for the comical black harsh outlining style of texturing then ignore me... but if you're not then maybe blend those harsh black edges into the coloured diffuse... also if you're using solid 0,0,0 black for those outlines... don't... always use a… -
Re: Adding snow to textures...?
In 3dsmax I've used a blend material (rock and snow) using falloff as a mask set to World Z, Towards/Away (so it lands on the tops of the objects). If you set it up right it will obey the bumps. http://www.docstoc.com/docs/13492996/Making-Snow-in-3d-Studio-Max This is also handy for getting dirt and dust on the tops of… -
Re: [UE4] Alley Environment + Substance Materials
A quick update. I have been working on materials in Substance Designer, and creating a set of blending masks in Substance Painter for blending between different brick textures, and floor textures. I have also been playing around a lot with different lighting, and have used for the first time volumetric lighting, which… -
Re: Vertex Weighting with CAT rigs
For me it normally goes, Envelope tweaking (I have a custom set of envelopes I load in based on a standard bone structure I use), its most useful in areas like the knees, elbows and hands. I then load in some animation of extreme poses and check how its deforming. I then use the paint weights feature (uncheck "Paint with… -
Re: Material Rendering tutorial
Patient - As Tumerboy said you need to set your material as a "Shellac" to blend the two together. Just click on any material ball in the material editor, hit the "Standard" button and in the pop up box just click "Shellac" - when it asks you to keep your existing material I usually just discard anything I have there. Once… -
Re: EricV's work thread
looking really nice eric. some really nice wear here and there but I think it can be pushed a bit more to give it a bit more character along the lines gauss has already stated. one thing, dont show your normal maps on ugly black blackgrounds, they look silly that way. also you dont want any black pixles to bleed over when… -
Re: Normal Map or Not?
madmuffin: I hope your instructor is useful in other ways, because on this topic he's awfully, awfully wrong. As far as the current texture goes, try shading with something other than black and white. The red rooftiles for instance, try painting in the highlights as orange, rather than pink. And see about adding some…
