Creating a Retro Portal Chamber in Unreal Engine 5
Knowing how important it is to keep honing my skills as an environment artist and 3D modeler, I spent my free time over the last few months building this retro, Mid Century-inspired secret laboratory. Although I have years of experience in Unreal, I wanted to keep expanding my knowledge of its systems, especially the ones… -
Substance 2.5-2.6 Albedo problem.
Hi everyone. I have some problem with new Painter 2.5-2.6 And it will be pretty great if someone explain why its happen and how to fix this. :) I created a batch of materials (Spec\Gloss) in Designer for work a year ago, and everything worked cool before 2.5 ver. After 2.5 some of my materials become brighter in diffuse,… -
Re: Texturing doesn't work on seams
Yo, in case you came across this post, it turns out my workflow was incorrect. I should've been adding my materials to the layers and working that way. Instead, I just used smart materials and dropped them directly onto the material id's. If you apply regular materials in the layer panel, it will pickup over the entire… -
Re: correct terminology: shader maps? render maps? what are they called?
Thank you all for sharing your thoughts! I'm surprised that there doesn't seem to be just one term for this concept of maps. Different material properties having different names in different engines makes sense though since the complexity of "recreating nature" makes for many ways of going about it.. Looks like we have:… -
Re: TexTools 3.0+
I am working again a little bit on TexTools and am rewrapping at the moment the baking scripts into a more convenient panel: This lets you either store the result to the clipboard, use as material, save it to the disc or simply display it using the frame buffer in max. Its certainly quicker to setup some materials as a… -
Re: First person game weapon -- One 4k texture map? Two 2k maps? Or just one 2k map?
Two materials is always going to be more expensive than one material (assuming we're talking about basic materials) Loading two textures is more expensive than loading one texture (assuming the same memory footprint) Unless there's a very good reason (ie a render programmer tells you to) for doing otherwise, put everything… -
Re: UE4/Blender How to correctly vertex paint tree meshes for even wind??
thankyou for the that explanation and example :) i have already fully vertex colored my tree mesh, i see what you mean about just generating a gradient and i might messes around with that soon, using a panner on the materials with the vertex color input to make the materials wave works correctly with the vertex color… -
Re: H&K MP7A1
While your wear is fine the materials are really off reference. There's barely any difference in the materials and I cant tell whats metal and whats polymer. It looks like the whole piece is made in polymer. This might be because you either used a lot of post-processing or the materials specular and gloss values are not… -
Re: Visualization problem in 3ds max 2014
I can't repro the problem in your shared scene Generally speaking, judging by your screenshot: That looks a lot like the transparency depthsorting issues Nitrous (viewport driver) has in "Shaded" mode and when some materials are set to displayed "Realistic", You will see the issue go away either by setting the viewport to… -
