Re: Building modular buildings and houses questions
It's all context-dependent, something you learn best by doing. My advice is to try forcing yourself to stick to a lower resolution, and fix the problems you see. You will learn how to minimize repetitive features in a texture that is tiled. You will also learn how to leverage vertex blending and other techniques like… -
Re: Project Star (Working Title) – UE5 Top Down
Looks awesome! Im a big fan of that cityscape background, it blends so nicely with everything else My only criticism is the combat animation, id like to see it a bit snappier on the timing and maybe a longer reach :) Great work! -
Re: Blender, Normal Mapping Artifacts, SuperPNG
Yes.. to blend two normal maps ( here the text with alpha and.. "nothing" and so easily solvable with "painting" ) you need to use some tool in advance or some special normal blending shader settup.. you might have a look here.. to deepen your knowledge.. (and do not call yourself names :wink: )… -
Hard-Surface Normals - Curved object
I ran into a problem while UVing a test object to get the best understanding of how to tackle certain geometry involving a scenario where if needed to, I'd have to create hard-surface Normals. The issue isn't so much the creation of the Normal map, but rather the blending of the color values and such. I might have mixed… -
Texturing software question.
Hi guys, im in search for texturing app that will make me a happy artist. The perfect example of what i want is PainttoolSai with it's magnificent color blend and perfect brushes. I never saw anything like that anywhere, and i wonder where to find it. The thing here is that i need it to be 3d. I tried zbrush but texturing… -
Re: [UE5] Is there now a specular workflow or still only metalness?
I guess Substrate is the solution for having metal partially blended with non-metalic surfaces like dirt and paint without the problems the metalness workflow had with such blended materials? But what workflow and export settings would you use for Substance painter > UE5 substrate to get the correct effect? -
Re: Forest Creek (WIP)
You should try to find more reference of this location, so you can see it from different angles, closeups, without the motion blur, etc. One image isn't going to give you enough information, especially when you're just starting out. A lot of reference is key! Landscape in games typically mixes two main techniques...… -
Re: Losing Your Artistic Voice to Convenient Asset Packs
The main drawback of asset packs and material libraries is that they cover too small square area like 2x2 m and designed for tiny texel size. Those materials are just flat snapshots, no way to change details distribution or re-composite easily . Also you lose a way to do any conscious art selection what key things to show… -
Re: Adobe Photoshop feedback
Color bleeding on the brush or smudge exactly as Painter does to blend colors better. -
Re: How can I make powerlines?
Alpha blended transparency won't suffer aliasing problems but it will suffer from sorting issues - eg. with foliage between the camera and the powerline It's also expensive to render (granted there's not going to be much screen coverage in this case) If the op is happy to fiddle with shaders there are a few options…
