Re: Making mask on a per material basis
Sounds like you are describing color ID maps (or clown maps as I heard another member here call them :) ). You assign solid colors to portions of your high poly (either by way of polypainting in ZBrush, materials with solid colors in Max/Maya, etc) and then bake out a texture map with these flat colors. You would then use… -
Re: Help with a chainsaw
This will explain the uv thing a bit. I did this with solid geometry, but you could use the same concept for alpha'd planes as well to get the shape you have. Or even better, solid geo for the base shape and alpha planes for the "claws" A little more on how i did this: 1. I make a low poly mesh 2. I copy part of the low… -
Re: Charachter making progress : need a solution for this problem
Hey @MisterWolfen my end goal is juSt to make a game character. I am quit experienced with lowpoly models and Uv unwrapping. Now I am dedicating my time on this model to be completely game ready. Also want to learn normal map baking. I will look into some ref images as you mentioned( I used a ref image for basemesh). Also… -
Re: What's the workflow to edit an imported 3D model and textures ?
Hi! You could model the missing geometry, create an additional UV set and unwrap, then transfer/bake textures from original to new UV set. Once baked, you would have to improvise/fill the texture for the missing parts of the body using the existing ones as reference. Could of course create a highpoly (I assume none exists)… -
Re: [WIP] - stylized character, could use some help to understand what to improve for future sculpts
So one thing that really stood out to me that hasn't been commented on are the UVs. They are totally fine if you need a quick auto solution, but will be an absolute pain to work on if you have to do any serious texture work. Ideally, it's best to orient UV shells so they are horizontal or vertical, and straighten some of… -
Re: Maya - How to make this things ? Low poly
The way I would do it is make the general shape I want, and subdivide it until it's very smooth. Then I'd use the reduce tool (with preserve quads set to 0, and all "feature preservation" turned off), to reduce it to a very low poly count. Then I'd harden all the normals, to give it the faceted look. Here's something I did… -
Re: UE4 Tiling Rock Wall
The problem with this line of thinking is that you have to be humble and leave your personal opinions out of the equation. In a PBR pipeline, any lighting information in the albedo / diffuse is technically incorrect. You can't argue or disagree - it no longer is about artistic style but cold, hard shader math. If you are… -
Re: [UE4] How to make material make MULTIPLE polygons individually Camera-Face
Look into "pivot painter". Or bake the element pivot position into vertex color. and then sample it in the ue shader in your existing setup. -
Re: UE5 project low poly asssets
What does a texture sheet and UVs look like for these assets? Curious how much UV reuse. And what about the bottom? Are these going to be rigged with physics, and thus tumble-able in-game? The bottom could conceivably use lower texel density, or reuse the same texture as the top, etc. Also, are you baking an ambient… -
[WIP] Medieval environment scene attempt in UE4
Hello everyone on this forum! It's the first time I publish my WIP here, though I visit this forum regularly and it's a pleasure to I think it can motivate me progress faster, and ask for your help, because any advise on this stage you can provide me with will be appreciated. I decided to make an environment scene for my…
