Re: Ambient Occlusion baking in Maya
What tutorial? Transfer Map or Batch Bake (Mental Ray)? I am guessing Transfer Map since you stated this: -
Re: [Blender] DECALmachine: surface detailing using mesh decals
Anytime ! I keep finding some alternative uses for DM, it truly is a workhorse. Speaking of which : @MACHIN3 , what are the conditions that make an object be not considered a valid surface for DM decals to project onto ? I tend to do some outside the box combining of objects when working with decals, meaning that at some… -
Re: Casual Bakery
Okay, so if you check out the article about the smooth shading on foliage, you mentioned, you see that there is an example for grass too. I can see how somewhat unclear it is of how what to do in the case of grass, but its actually pretty simple. You want the same smooth normals on the cards on the ground, as on the tree… -
Re: Where Can I learn To Texture Water?
Import a plane into Zbrush. Turn smoothing off in the geometry panel (to keep your borders fixed). Go into the Transform tab turn off the X an Y Modifiers (or what ever combination restricts changes to up and down from the Plane's normal, depending on it's orientation) Then go into the Brushes tab and turn "Wrap Mode" up… -
Re: Multiple UV sets or single for many objects?
You can make one sign, unwrap to one UV and create thousand instances drawn in very less drawcalls using instanced static meshes in ue4. You could also create one single sign in your 3d program, unwrap it and duplicated it inside this 3d object thousand times so every sign uses the same UV (overlapping UVs). If you use… -
Re: Vanishing UVs in Maya 2018 UV Editor
Haven't seen this one, looks frustrating! i can only think of some things to check here. OS might matter, and check your video card driver version. Multiple monitors? Do you have any software overrides/tweaks/overclocks on the GPU? Does this happen when the UV editor is in a panel or in a torn off window? How about if you… -
Re: Will we ever get rid of Gimbal lock?
Just a few things you can do to minimize gimbal lock. Freeze Transforms on your animation controllers in the bind pose. Constrained objects don't matter, just objects you intend to keyframe. If your animation's starting pose is very different from the bind pose, then immediately create an animation layer to animate on. (At… -
Re: [UE4] Z-Axis Oriented Material Issues
You should dot the up vector against the Pixel Normal WS. as a post effect you could do the same against the screen space world normal. http://www.polycount.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=18300&stc=1&d=1405148878 The node is PixelNormalWS Dot that against your up vector Then to tighten the mask: Add 1 to the result… -
Re: Rogue spike in my zbrush mesh
I work best when I'm able to get my hands dirty. Would you be able to isolate ones of those areas to export as a .ztl that could be uploaded somewhere ? Edit: Well the problem seems to be this little guy, all alone up there. I'm not sure if it was just an orphan vert that got caught up in dynamesh, or if something else… -
Re: 3DsMax [Rigging] is point helper necessary ?
I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do but if you're say, just animating a rigid body (rotating/transforming/scaling an entire model) from the same orientation all of the time then you don't really need a point helper. Point helpers can be useful for parenting while preserving the orientation of your pivot point.…
