Ever since I discovered how to use Face-weighted normals, I've been using them on most models that I create. This however has caused me a few issues when loading the models into Unity. I'm using 3DsMax to export my models. I first discovered the errors when using the FBX exporter and loading those into Unity. Could not for…
Hey, silly question about Max's unit setup. I typically work in Meters, since that's what our engine accepts. My Units setup is "Display Unit Scale: Meters" and "System Unit Scale: 1.0 Meters". Everything saves and exports out correctly, and in-engine it all works out to the correct sizes. My problem is that max doesn't…
I'm busy making an item which require some animations (Juggernaut Ability 2 - Healing Ward). I've done the animation sequences in 3Ds MAX, namely the 3 scenes required by the importer: ACT_DOTA_SPAWN, ACT_DOTA_IDLE, ACT_DOTA_DIE. I've exported these scenes as FBX and I import them using the in-game DOTA 2 Workshop…
I already solved it while I was uploading the pics to photobucket but I still felt like posting because I don't understand what happened and this might help others if they get stuck like I did here is my mesh in maya with two sided lighting turned off, all transformations frozen, and all history deleted and here it is in…
Hi everybody. I have a very persistent problem I seem unable to solve. I am working on a model and to save texture space I mirrored some parts. The process I follow in From Blender to Substance is: Unwrap and straightenmy UVs -> Apply my Mirror modifier -> Offset the position of the mirrored UVs by exactly one UV tile to…
What Substance workflow + export settings would you use to get the best results in UE5 using the new Substrate materials? Mainly to prevent 'white fringes' problem that was common in the UE metalness workflow around gradual transitions between metal and non-metal materials like dirt and paint? So basically a 'specular' PBR…
Editable Poly is what made Meshtools et al possible in the first place. So we are both talking functionality, not the technical underpinnings (of which I have no clue of), correct? Because Meshtools brought all the poly modelling goodies: Connect/Divide/Push/Pull/Relax/Inset and so on as well as selection functions like…
thanks, well i couldnt find much useful resources myself, most sites are long dead and the remaining ones use methods that are pretty complicated im gonna make a tutorial on how to make quake chars in the future when i have a site for that but for now a quick sumary of what you need to do: start modeling your character…
Hey all, I'm not entirely sure how to describe what I am looking to do in Unreal, But basically I followed along with Abe Leal's newest video on the Adobe Substance 3D Youtube channel where he textures a shark characters but he uses a technique where he creates a value map first and then uses a color gradient that uses the…
