Re: Could someone help me with setting up AO map in Unreal...?
Nope, not much work is required to create a workable lightmap uv. Your current unwrap should suffice if you simply copy over your UV0 to UV1 (UV1 will be your lightmap uv). Make sure the lightmap uv has NO inverted and/or overlapping uvs, and that everything is packed within the 0-1 space. My only concern would be the… -
Re: Cinematic Teaser Using Photogrammetry [Bachelor Project]
@FreneticPonies Thanks! As I am planning to render it out at the end I only have to make it run at a performance which is workable for me, so hopefully I can get as much detail as possible :) Not too much progress the last days as I was still busy doing cinematography/story stuff and also got some sound people on board to… -
Re: [Cinematic] Assassin's Creed Environment - Apprenticeship
Hey nice one for those references Neox. It wasn't so much that I didn't think you were right to make the change Zpanzer but more that I couldn't envision the brick pattern being workable as I had not seen a vaulted ceiling like this with visible brick. Call me closed minded I guess, I suppose all your current model needs… -
Re: ANSWERED: textures in vray
Hi soel! Just as Alphamix says you can use uncalibrated for now, and the way he describes the map plugin order is correct! We will have a v-ray callibration export profile in the future, but this is a very workable solution for now, we have rendered many assets just like this! Usually V-ray requires a bit more "Punch" in… -
Re: UVW problem
First off, that's pretty high poly AND irregular, and as you're discovering, not a lot of fun to unwrap. Just a quick sanity check first: do you need the geometry this dense? Have you considered making a lower poly version and baking the details out to a normal map, or decimating this a little more? As-is, I might try for… -
Re: Before you create an original finished drawing, how many do you draw?
I was wondering something similar lately but then realized there wasn't much question as the depending factors change a lot, like as Xoliul said it is kind of a vague question. Its something that improves with repetitiveness, practice and time as with all skills. I would say it depends on your ability to concept, for me it… -
Re: I need a faster/better way to bake slection maps
Yeah, Maya bakes are single threaded and *embarrassingly slow*. If you're using mesh->smooth for a sub-d object, what you need to do is this: save out a "dirty" copy of your scene, and delete all history, this will freeze your mesh in the sub-divided form and will likely significanlty speed up bake times. I've had scenes… -
Re: Re-topology is there anything on the horizon?
if retopo is needed for organic shapes then i either have a workable basemesh as my sculpt level 0, or project the topology i want over the highres. and for hard surface assets there's usually a sub-d cage available to serve as a starting point. the auto-retopo solutions i've tried don't satisfy my clean-mesh-OCD and… -
Re: 360 HDR skies for sale?
Well, got something workable. This is before cleaning up the horizon. Worked OK, though the ball has a noticeable seam and it's kind of lumpy here and there. Not a worry for the current project, I'm painting out the land entirely. Only have a 5mp camera, so the src is max 2592x1944 res. Doesn't matter that much though… -
Re: Hi Poly Attempt-Jaggir (And a Request for Advice).
Ah, right, I see what you mean. Yeah, it's usually a good idea to switch off between the control mesh and smoothed version (if you're not doing that already, Scott - are you?) just so you make sure the low-poly cage is staying fairly sensible and workable. JKMakowka: Also though, if this is purely for a normal-mapping…
