Re: Answered: Best way to create this as a texture?
If you want the edges to tile seamlessly, simply free transform the shapes you're working with beyond the Photoshop canvas by about 25 to 100 pixels on each side. Once you're done with normal detailing, you simply load the flattened normal map (e.g. save as Targa) into DDO with/without a mesh to preview it on. Additional… -
Re: Need help with -Baking High-Poly onto Low-Poly model/s
As well as your edges being WAY too sharp to be picked up in the bake, the holes need to be tapered so that they appear to have depth in the bake. When modeling for NM baking you need to exaggerate the roundness/beveling of corners much more than they would be in a real-world object. This is for several reasons: amount of… -
Re: [UDK] Strange seam along symmetry line
There's no finding for it, UDK is that way, instead of doing pixel shader specular like any other engine, it creates a world specular and uses UV channels for light direction. So if you want this without a seam, you will have to redo the uvs there, unfortunately. UDK won't change it I believe as this increases performance.… -
Re: Info: going rate for 1,500 tri model+texture
EQ speaks truth. I generally have an hourly wage in mind, then charge them what my time estimate would be. The needs and the tech can fluctuate drastically. Needing to pixel paint with a pencil tool with a 16-bit pallette on a 64x64 texture can be more time consuming than freely polypainting a 1024 texture. No real hard… -
Re: Antique Cupboard
Thats looking really nice. Now this is just me nit picking over what is a pretty model but... The detailing on the far left and right of the drawers seems to be suffering a little compared to the rest of the detail on your model, it looks like the normal map is almost pixelating? I might be wrong though. But yes very… -
Re: How much is Mari used?
That being said, I'm sure many people can find use for it working with game assets. It's after all a pixel based painting program with deep PSD integration(and adjustment layer if memory serves me well), procedural layers such as fractal noises and more. I really think it's worth for any texture artist to at least give the… -
Re: Normal Maps Error - Please Help!
Doesn't like there is any padding on your normal map? (can setting padding pixels when you are baking the normal map). Also make sure all your vertices are welded too :) (This still happens to me!). Depending on your topology too - it might worth re-unwrapping the UVs for the bottom of the case so that its one UV shell too? -
Re: Emissive on textures
Yes B for sure of those, but since you're working with UDK you're in luck as it supports using different UV channels. So you could map all areas that should be illuminated using a new UV channel on a small texture (perhaps 256x256 or so) and still have the same pixel density as the other texture maps! A bit more work, but… -
Re: [Help] Alpha Planes....Why do you do this to me ?
lovely model but those planes look horrific, honestly just do it with some real geometry - the additional polygons are less of a performance drain than 18 transparent pixels on top of each other and look much nicer. As shadownami92 says, this isn't even player facing and from another player's perspective it's going to be… -
Re: Please change the default in "UV Tile" for future updates
This was set to 3 because we realized most of the time, materials applied to a complex object or a character with a tiling of 1 would just appear as very pixelated and blurry, and it's most of the time hard to figure out what the material definition or pattern even is, and the first thing we end up doing is changing the…
