(Solved) Terrible normal map shading errors inside UE4, expert advice desperately needed.
Alright, one more try, the previous post got removed for some unknown reason. I have the following high-poly and low-poly assets: HP - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bxiv4nwNFlKhcllvaU1nTERlcEE LP - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bxiv4nwNFlKhV0xfVE1jVE9lcUE I go through the following steps to get my normal map: 1)… -
Wavy-Pixelated Shading
Hi, I have made a hard surface knife model. I have made two versions, low poly and high poly. I used subdivision smoothing on high poly, basically standard hard surface modeling workflow. However, I got wavy-pixelated shading in Unity 3D and Marmoset. This shading problem does not appear in Substance Painter. Then I tried… -
Normal maps for water shader
Hey folks, Trying to create a "map" in UDK only with custom meshes, textures, shaders etc., and ran into a problem that I used to evade before - creating normal maps for water. I always used stock water textures, only modifying shader itself when needed, but now I want to create it from scratch, and can't wrap up my where… -
Re: Maya CgFx Shader Offering
Update I've upgraded the shader to real normal mapping rather than just perturbed normal bump mapping. Many thanks to NVIDIA and Ben Cloward for the great starting points on this. There are 4 techniques included in the new file get it here Revision 2 They are lit untextured, vertex lit with specular and textured, Pixel… -
Place to post visual effects/shaders/"tech art" for showcase and critiques
I am not sure where on the forums to post this so please move thread if some other place is appropriate. Since about 6 months back I am a technical artist full time, and I have since had a hard time finding a good place for me on PolyCount. Now, the way I and probably many other see it is there are two different kind of… -
New CG Academy HLSL Fundamentals DVDs
A lot of you have mentioned that you really like the HLSL shaders that I've written and that you use them frequently in 3ds Max to view your models with normal maps applied, etc. I'm glad that my work has been helpful! Learning HLSL has really opened up a whole new world for me in terms of being able to control exactly how… -
Black shading on metal surfaces?
I think this is probably just my misunderstanding of shading and normal maps, but I started noticing the more reflective my surface was the more this black shading started to show up on my baked model. So on the left is metalness of 0, and on the right is 1. There's a noticeable black shade around areas. Is this just… -
Re: My UDK shader collection "WL-Shader"
Definitely a nice growing collection. Your site isn't kidding about that performance stuff :P That is one spendy shaped bloom. Like the lighting model as well. Ill poke around more of them tonight for sure. Some of your more interesting stuff is on your main site though, like that fire shader :p -
Shading issues in-engine
Hey Polycount - I've got a weird-ass shading issue with an asset that I baked and modeled in Max but we're using Maya for pipeline reasons to export it. If the model is imported straight from Max without any alterations the shading looks perfect, but if anything is done to the mesh in Maya (skinning it to a rig in this… -
(Solved) Bevel and shading
Hi, I don't fully grasp how bevel and shading works, even after learning many things about them. I run into this problem quite often, when creating a fillet corner, this kind of shading transition shows up: I would imagine this type of corner to have smooth shading transition, but it gives a slightly sharper transition on…
