Re: your role?
My role is the creative artist on all Threewave titles. Basically the concepting, modeling and texturing of all art assets the designers ask for. I write my own shaders and such aswell. I have to say Ren my tech artist is invaluable to me, and a great help. I would never be up-to-speed. Accually, my job bleeds over into… -
Re: Trouble setting up window transparency from Substance Painter export
Refraction is the correct shading model to use for something like this. You'll want to create a mask and load it into the Mask Map slot in the Tansmission panel. White values = full refractive/transparent, while black values = opaque. For instance, if the metal bars were part of your glass texture, you would want those to… -
Re: The world ends today.
Too bad the Bible owns this fools theory and mathematics: MARK 13: 28-33 28 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 29 Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that… -
Re: [UE4] Making Ships - Sails of War
Well the Cutter is all UVd and ingame. Did also improve the ships master material: Now incorporates additional edge wear and masking (though any paint mask dependent on normal and curv map will be influenced by camera position - the closer you get the more the mask has visible detail) I started on a second scene to show… -
Re: Answered: Mixer quirk/bugs?
2) That's because you're not running the version of Mixer which includes the features you're after. Please visit the link below to download the pre-release of Mixer 2018.2. There's some bugs still to iron out, but it's a chance for you to play with the new features.… -
Re: Can someone explain this metallness/PBR thing to me.
As for the workflow: I wonder if metalness is only feasible for a materialstack-mask painting workflow like with dDo or substance designer. But then again, it doesn't really matter which workflow you use as you never actually directly work on the maps, just on the stack and the masks. If you manually create such maps in… -
Re: Explaination of RGB channels
It depends on the engine and if does support them, you first need to check that out, not all engines will take a Stack/Mask Map. As you mentioned, in the case of UDK is pretty simple, Mutiply the R channel by a color and put it into a diffuse, and done, in other engines (if they don't have a shader creation system in… -
Re: Zbrush inorganics?
Most 90 degrees or more generally speaking, sharp hard shapes extruded on Zbrush models come either from : -Masks created by polygon selections performed at a low or medium subdivision level> delete hidden>store morphtarget>inflate>create diff between morph (mask can also be create by applying a random 90degrees scifi… -
Re: Gun sword thing
There's a lot I really like about this, and a few things I think could use some work. Overall I love the look of the end result, very cool cartoony feel and I always love toon shaders with the outline! I'd be interested in seeing a quick mental ray render. Room for improvement in certain areas, as you previously said, a… -
Re: WIP Mortuary: What I wish someone told me 8 years ago (but to be honest, I couldn't listen)
I'm having a bit of trouble wrapping my head around your method from descriptions alone. Are you generating three mesh to curve outputs, sampling and blending them then offsetting points around? I'm asking because I'm doing something similar to generate hair cards, blending different curves for root, body of the card and…
