Re: Texture look blurry when I play the game
Everyone seems to be setting the engine quality settings to epic to make their textures look good. This is simply bad practice as they should look good with the engine set to medium and fantastic at epic. If your textures look blurred at a distance there are ways to solve this through proper material setups, if they look… -
Re: SOLVED: Creating a clean colour ID map?
So I'll add to this now that I'm managing to get clean Colour ID's out of zBrush-xNormal. Not entirely sure about whats doing it but I created a custom brush, just for painting, that was extremely tight and eliminated any possibility of blended colours. I use solid coloured subtools where ever possible instead of painting… -
Re: Maya ShaderFX Question
What a lovely video you linked to earlier ;) Anyway, can't you get away with using the "Pixel Screen Position" node? It gives you screenspace coordinates. If you try it out you will probably want to invert the vertical axis and probably also compensate for the aspect ratio of your current viewport setup. I've used it… -
Re: Need some help unwrapping
This is what I do, I unwrap each part then throw it in , and arrange, this was just slapped together after countless attempts with this outcome. The problem I am having is I am using photosources for texturing, and the wood siding I had picked out, when shrinked down to look normal with this UV layout looked like complete… -
Re: Normal map, Ambient Occlusion map, Curvature map, etc. in Substance Painter
You can bake AO/curvature (per pixel instead of per vertex)/worldspace/position. Specular isn't a baked map (and isn't used in the metal/rough workflow) Note, however, that the AO and curvature will drive most of your convex/concave effects and because you've no NM they will rely on the geometry so the results will be… -
Re: Decimated Mesh vs Clean Mesh
Topology is only really important for things that deform. For things that don't it doesn't matter as much, as long you mostly avoid long, skinny triangles and tiny triangles. The ideal performance situation for rasterizers is that the triangle covers an entire 2x2 pixel block. I find that usually decimated meshes capture… -
Re: TGA Physically Based Lighting CGFX Shader for Maya Viewport
TrevorJ> I'm trying to figure out the issue at hand on your example images. You are using a tangent space normal map right? And you haven't altered the vertex normals since after baking your normal map? Keg> You mean like transparent materials? No I haven't looked into it. Nor does it handle light scattering around in… -
Re: The Depths WIP (UDK)
There is a small swatch being tiled many times within a single texture. Since you have 1024x1024 (or 2048x2048?) of unique pixels to play with, you may as well make use of it rather than having a tiled swatch within a single texture. I am referring to the square outlined in green that is being repeated everywhere Again,… -
Re: Facebook buys Oculus VR
Pixel, I think it has nothign to do with the idea that there will be some casual VR games, that just sounds like a cofirmation bias to me. From what I have seen, here and on other forums is a general distrust of Facebook as a whole. In fact I cant recall ever seeing someone say "i love facebook" as the sentiment is usually… -
Re: Sketchbook: Pancake
I've been figuring out a piece I'd like to do for Huskar from Dota2. Worryingly enough, this design is what came out onto paper (or pixels really). The budget's really tight for the in-game model so I'll have to make some concessions on the hair and pull it back a lot in detail, particularly on the spiky chunks. I'm going…
