Re: [3ds max + zbrush] Ways to do this windu saber line-pattern
If you look at the refs you will see that it isn't a tiling pattern, it's made up of many unique panels. You've drawn your lines as continuous. If you're taking it to SP then you could paint the detail directly to the Normal map and skip this detailing pass in ZB. You could pick out the panel shapes from the refs, create… -
Flintlock Grenade Launcher; Need C&C for texture WIP
Hey guys, I've modeled a flintlock grenade launcher and baked normals. I'm in the texturing phase in Substance Painter and need some fresh eyes to look at my model. Here it what I have so far with 2K textures. Note: There's no AO or shadows yet so the model might look flat in SP viewport. Also don't mind the normal map… -
(Workaround) Tips for exporting multiple textures?
Hi, Say I want to create multiple texture (skins) for the same model. But due to the way SP generated filenames, it seems like the solution would be to export the same model multiple times, with different material id, which will then be used as texture set name? SP export preset only take a few variables (mesh name,… -
Re: Texture baking features?
Could you please elaborate on that, or provide me with an example, please? I have trouble understanding that. Are you talking about baking from actual high poly surfaces (presumably sculpted) such as a plant onto a low poly object that for instance containes planes/quads that are supposed to catch rays from the high poly… -
Re: how do you get rid of uv seams?
I have triangulated the lowpoly using the 'turn to poly' modifier in 3dsmax. I then created a cage out of this using the projection modifier and exporting it. It works perfectly for Xnormal, but doesn't for SP for some reason. So the topology of the LP should be exactly the same as the cage. What do you mean exactly with… -
Re: Zbrush - Brushes, feedback and requests
So I'm currently working on multiple Brush sets, but would like to hear what I should prioritize. please vote on my facebook to page to voice your opinion. https://www.facebook.com/JonasDigitalArt/ all brushes would be able to be used in ZBrush, SP, Quixel, C4D... 1#. Another Rock set? 2#. Sci fi, hard surface panel set,… -
Re: Optimize model for AO baking?
@bitinn : EQs example above is precisely why Toolbag is imho by far the best baking solution out there - It's actually made by actual users who know about this sort of issues first-hand. This + the fact that it allows for direct manipulation of objects in the scene at any time makes it a no-brainer in my opinion. It's… -
Help with workflow - Zbrush > Maya > Zbrush > Substance??
Hello guys Well, I will try to explain my problem, which is driving me nuts! I have been trying to solve it by myself, but I can't find a solution and my deadline is approaching. So, I made this model in Zbrush, and my idea was to texturize in Substance Painter. I did my retopology in Maya, that way I could have my low and… -
Substance painter UDIM textures vs Material IDs
Hello, his is more of a question than an issue, but this thing came across my mind and I wonder if I am right. The thing is, one could add multiple materials in a 3D app to a single object, which are automatically presented as different texture set lists in SP. Hovewer, if you use just one material, and then use UDIM… -
Re: Baking curvature map: xnormal VS Painter
Usually it's enough to work with SP default one. Use Global balance and global contrast of smart masks to adjust curvature based masking. Still I am pretty sure you can export curvature map to photoshop and do some curve editing closer to Xnormal since the difference looks just like gamma one. You can export it as 32 bit…
