Re: [WIP] Newbie piece - Steyr Aug
It totally depends on what you're going to use it for. If you don't have a specific game / engine in mind (just making it for the prac or for the portfolio) then might as well make the textures at a larger resolution - you can always scale them down later. 4096x4096 should give you plenty of room to step down later on.… -
Re: Improve metal scratches?
Most of the Normal bake problems you are getting are from intersecting parts, other than that it's a pretty good normal map. The edges look bad due to the padding. Explode the model along with the matching high poly and bake out the parts separately and combine them. As for the scratches, use a very small brush and do… -
Re: H. Alex Martin - Environment Artist
Ok, lets do some role playing eh? Lets pretend that I am an art lead and I like what I see on your site. I right click and save the images to a folder of potential people for job (which is filled with many many other artist's art). Later on I go though the folder and find only that I like your images... but since I have… -
Re: Faogen 3 - per-vertex and texture AO baking
Hi haiddasalami, right now I can only test with 3dsmax 2009, and it imports FBX from Faogen just fine. It didn't display vertex AO from the start for the imported scene, but if you set up a material with vertex color or just enable "Vertex Channel Display" in Object Properties then it will look the same way as in Faogen.… -
Re: new characters that i'll definitely 100% finish... probably
Oh man, some really nice work Nizza. You Link is oozing attitude, plus that coupled with the style really sends it to another level. As for your Morgan Freeman piece I've gotta agree that some of the creases/folds are a little strong, especially the elbows and the lower arse area. Maybe try and take a square of standard… -
Re: Better way to make modular rubble?
from a visual stand point, the colors and objects make the tile way too noticeable. Scale is also off, unless you wanted size 30 flip-flops. I would add more geometry to help support some of the larger rubble pieces, it will really help when viewed at low angles. CE3 can handle a lot of tris, so don't be afraid. Also,… -
Re: Ford Tudor 1936
Thanks for the crits all. I've started to re-work the silhouette of the car to make it more like the original. I have to say it was not far off since i've been using a blueprint to model from. About the texture I actually am working on it and the body is only one color. I thought I did write that in the original post but… -
Re: Liam's super shed! :D
@David: Thanks for the reply man :D Yeah now that you say that about the lantern handle, it does look too perfect when everything else is so banged up. I'll update that. As for the hammer, I haven't actually textured it yet. I just made a quick white material with a normal map so I could see if everything was working in… -
Re: Help! Uv offset'd textures not tiling together correctly when exported from maya to ue4
Many thanks for the reply, each individual piece has its own uv (pictures 1+2), which occupy the 0-1 space, i did this so i could bake on height maps around the lower coving/skirting board and maybe layer the uvs so i could add dirt or grime should i fancy it (although i had modelled the bevelled edges into the top coving… -
Re: The Gamedev Cast is answering questions about PBR!
The first material is not metal, but painted metal. Its important to remember that the metalness value defines the top layer, if you have a layer of paint, dirt, or anything else on top of an otherwise metallic object, the material is not metal. It doesn't have colored specular, the spec highlight is white as seen in the…
