Maya 2018+ - best/correct way to bake displacement onto flat plane?
Hi, I've got trouble getting a usable displacement bake from Maya. introduction (you may skip it): I am used to the transfer maps tool from Maya 2010 (which we used at work). With 2017 (or even earlier) AD removed mentalRay in favor for Arnold. This means no more baking of AO maps with the transfer maps tool. So I decided… -
IN PROGRESS: Tutorials for Quixel Suite
Hello everyone. I'm just wondering if there are any good tutorials for the Quixel suite out there, I have checked out the wiki but as good as it is to get going with it, it kinda lacks in some areas. For instance I have a problem with masks and been scouring the Internet for tutorials or similar in that department but they… -
Re: quake 2 textures too bright
thanks, well i couldnt find much useful resources myself, most sites are long dead and the remaining ones use methods that are pretty complicated im gonna make a tutorial on how to make quake chars in the future when i have a site for that but for now a quick sumary of what you need to do: start modeling your character… -
Re: importance of LODs in game ?
Until your model is pretty simple like wall barrier , a box or like LODs are necessary . For a character Simplygon does an ok job already. As far as I know Unreal uses Simplygon and makes lods automatically . But in some cases LODs require decisions and compromises Ai incapable to do yet. There are also a semi-automated… -
Re: I love and hate midjourney
Did you consider that you just dont know (yet) how to use the AI properly? There is a random component, yes. But you can very well prompt craft and refine until you get the results you want. I was able to combine various elements that I wanted to see. The more specific and the more elements you want, the more difficult it… -

Re: Open sub D
manual chamfer has never been an option to me. i've been using the doublesmooth with smoothing groups in max, wich lacks an equivalent in maya i gues. its nondestructive, but you don't have as much controll over the bevel as with opensubdiv. as far as i understand it you can transfer the edgeweight using fbx between… -
Re: Anyone play this little game
I want to find your colonies on Delta, and destroy you for being a noob. I would do the same for Vitor for the "no military action" comment. I've successfully destroyed all the attacking fleets of an entire top ranked alliance. They didn't realize the time and cost of sending attacking ships a great distance. I had plenty… -
Re: Need some bump/normal help.
I think there is a misunderstanding. The seam is from the height map, not the normal map, and its transfering onto the normal map. So Its not how the normal map is generated at all. You can do a test on your own computer. Make a sphere, and apply a plane UVW to it, and drop a bump map of a simple line. If you edit the UVW,…
