So as I understand it to work, Substance Painter is going to take whatever materials you have assigned to your LP mesh and make those into your TextureSet options or shaders. Basically you want to break up your UV sets with a material. If for example, your LP mesh is going to be using only one texture set, then assign your…
Hi Whiskeydelta - to clarify, material ID and what material you assign has no effect on how models are grouped for projection purposes. We chose not to use material ID as a sorting tool because its harder to make function with different 3d software and object formats. Thousands of seperate models being baked at once is a…
Started a Game Art Apprenticeship course over at UArtsy with Brett Briley, thought I might as well post my progress here. For my first assignment we were told to select 10 items for a prop sheet then 1 was chosen by our tutor to then go ahead and model a construction/high-poly mesh. Here's the result for my first…
Might be your Keyboard Shortcut Override Toggle is off. [ QUOTE ] The Keyboard Shortcut Override Toggle lets you toggle between using only the "Main User Interface" shortcut keys and using both the main shortcuts and shortcut keys for functional areas such as Editable Meshes, Track View, NURBS, and so on.

I've signed on to help with modelling and animating for the HexenTC using the DOOM3 engine. I'm doing some of the beasts they'll be needing. I use 3d MAX 4.2, which I know is older, but I can't afford $3000 to buy it again. I always animated with MAX's character studio plug ins, BIPED and PHYSIQUE. But I'm told that Doom3…

I would start with a fresh set of bones, it looks like the string limbIK bones are scaling in a weird direction and the solver is sliding off the end of the chain and it isn't fully extend, that is weird... Did you scale the bones? Because that will cause problems. Remake the string limbIK bones. Select the Bones create…
Yes. I went to Art Institute Online briefly (I got my degree elsewhere before that, but at the time I thought going through a "game art" specific curriculum would benefit me). Don't do it. I'm going to sound like a total whiner by describing it, but it's an accurate description... I don't know about any other online…
I'll look into some work on the tiled texture, maybe a combination of some Photoshop work and looking into seeing if I can get a higher res texture to replace on the plaster layer. This was as much an attempt at learning Photoshop type software as getting the first textures into Maya and assigned as a material. This is a…
