Hi everyone, as the year will soon be over we will start to upload some stuff we did over the past few months. As some of you may know recently a few artist friends/colleagues of mine and i merged to form a small group of passionate and experienced artists, due to the fact that often times studios don't want to outsource…
To add to what's already been said: Some protective coatings for iron and steel do have metallic properties. Deciding whether these type of PBR materials are flagged as metallic, non-metallic or something in between often depends on the type of coating used and what condition it's in.

I appreciate your concern, but it was actually a really wonderful book. And I said nothing about it being a natural form of depopulation; I said that it is your body's attempt at maintaining life in a difficult and acidic environment. What about that doesn't make sense? And Zac, check out "Nutrition and Physical…
Breakdown Interior Assets In this post I will give a short breakdown on how the creation of an interior Asset was done for this project. First, environment assets are split into different areas, areas that use material layering for texturing and areas that don’t. For the door below, the blue areas are shaded by using…
for rendering... looking at cinebench benchmarks will probably be most revelant. Every machine I have owned put together in a renderfarm does not equal the power of my personal machine.

Hi, I am really litle bit confused now, how works together Mesh LODs with Texture/Lightmap Mipmaps. I will try explain my problem, but first I tell, what I understand under these terms. 1.0 - Mipmaps in short are textures with different sizes and are "auto generated" by engine if are not defined in texture file (only DDS…

keep in mind with unreals auto generate lightmap uvs, its not actually doing an unwrap, its taking the UVs from channel 1 and repacking them at a consistent texel density. so if you have stitched/overlapping stuff going on in channel 1 it will carry over to your lightmap and you will get that overlap error. you can do a…
