Re: UDK normal map / shading issues
Well like I said, because Maya and UDK aren't synced you will get those shading errors especially at hard edges etc.. I would say make sure you smooth those bevels and/or if you don't want too much gradient on your planar surfaces which can lead to smoothing errors also, you can fillet the vertex normals. (search for MIG… -
Re: Arnold displacement small problem
Thanks musahidan, I managed to solve the faces showing through the mesh by setting the "UV smoothing" in Maya to linear rather than pin corners as I didn't check uv smoothing in Zbrush when I exported the disp. I set the scale to 1 in the map, and the model scale is human size (if thats what you meant?) Will try extracting… -
Re: [UE4] Recreating a scene from TES IV: Oblivion (WIP)
Worked on my wooden textures by adding some rough smoothing to them. The tool they used in medieval times is called an adze and it left marks like these: I made a tileable pattern in photoshop and then used NDO to overlay the pattern onto my existing normal maps, using a layer mask to mask out the pattern in places where… -
Re: Sketchbook: Wobyen
Having more luck, or at least getting some where. Redid the low poly and projection: New Normal map (w/o padding) Applied Still more work to be done, but I feel like progress is being made! Woo! I'm not having that much luck with smoothing groups and normals. I've been getting much better results setting the SMB export… -
Re: Silo 2.0 public beta
yeah at first I wasnt actually that taken with the painting but now I have a chance to spend some time with it I am liking it more and more.. btw careful when smoothing a lot, save it first! sometimes the mesh kind of turns inside out and vanishes edit: @mop hehe yeah just giving a heads up incase someone spends hours on a… -
Re: Better/Best sketching program
Line looking pixelated? Try a higher-res image, maybe? I've never had that problem. As for lines not looking as smooth as you think they should, try checking the "Smoothing" option in the Brushes palette, that usually helps. As for all of the other issues you mentioned, I've never come across them, so I'd be tempted to say… -
Re: M31 *WIP*
it's over 3,000!! weird, this fps view removed the vertical edges on the stock, are they still there? make sure its center verts on the stock are welded together, there could be a split in the geo there. also, check ur smoothing groups. understand how smoothing groups work and how to assign them efficiently. they have a… -
Re: Seams along UV edges in UT3 when normal maps are applied
1. all vertices are welded 2. the entire object is on the same smoothing group 3. Aye they are nudged 4. Fixed the Ngon, still lighting seams. Shouldn't have anything to do with light bakes, this seam shows up unbaked, and only with the normal map turned on. As best I can tell, UT3 somehow uses UV seams to determine… -
Re: [First low poly attempt] Sword !
Only the UVs inside the 0-1 space (upper right quarter) have the highpoly details projected on them. If the two sides of your mesh are perfectly symmetrical and on top of each other in this 0-1 space, you try to bake the same thing twice at the same location which will cause you a lot of trouble and baking issues. That's… -
Re: Medieval Town (WIP)
I'd agree with iniside, using complete photobase textures can work as well, and its even faster for things that don't necessarily need to be sculpted or even have a hi-poly for. its whatever floats your boat and works for you, as long as the end result looks good who cares so much as the process in which they did it…
