Dodge-B 1950
Just started a new portfolio piece, and just doing the initial blockout. So this is going to form the basis of the low poly, my next step will be.. (1) to create high poly versions of the various parts by slapping on the turbo-smooth and then adding edge loops as required to tighten up edges etc (2) UV the low poly (3)… -
How do I design TripleA hair cards with Zbrush and 3D Studio Max?
A hair card is made up of: 1. Diffuse (aka albedo, base color, etc) 2. Mask (aka alpha, transparency, opacity, whatever you want to call it) 3. Normal Map (made in xnormal) 4. Specular (made in ???) Should the shadows be baked into the diffuse aka albedo or am I supposed to create a: 5. Self Shadowing Map?? Which controls… -
Re: Marmoset Adding Seams to My Model
Maybe something to do with your normal map/normal orientation settings. If your normal was baked in max, at some point you need to flip your green channel. Whether that is in Photoshop or in Marmoset. In marmoset you can do it under the View Tab, there is a section called normal maps. If that is not it... Make sure when… -
Weird shading error in UDK
I've got this weird error in UDK. I made a really simple crate and I noticed that it didn't get shaded correctly in the engine. And I wanted to figure out why. This is what it looks like when I imported it into the engine. What you're seeing here is a weird shading error on a simple crate. I expected the faces of the right… -
Re: Shading problem with Maya/Blender
The second image with the normals whispers me that you have the vertex normals pointing into different directions. You will most probably not come away with simply doing a recalculate normals here. Try if using the set Normals from Faces will help here. I unforutnately just know Blender, and just can provide a Blender shot… -
Re: Dragon attack on City
Hey guys im having a few problems with my Normal maps in UDK the light seems to be wrong here are the 2 different models with one normal right way up and the other with the normals reversed: Normal Reversed Normals As you can see the lighting is completely wrong instead of illuminating the right areas its adding light to… -
Re: UDK's Specular seam issue.
Offsetting does nothing, one of the things I tried and didn't see any difference. UDK just seems to push it back in to the grid and mark it red in the UV editor. The Normal Influence Boost will work fine if the object doesn't have a normal map. As soon as you add a normal you get the same issue. Left with normal and seam,… -
Re: UDK - Material - Oren Nayar Help
Nice that there are DVD's now. :) Less slogging through Nvidia tech docs and MSDN and taking apart other peoples code to find what actually works. Also the packages here don't seem to show anything in my version of UDK, what release are you gents up to? Further: I built up a functional oren-nayar model. And I learned to be… -
Re: [Technical Talk] - FAQ: Environment Modeling & Resources
I have a question about normal mapping a modular building piece. I suppose for an example of my question, I'll just use Stephan's building. Would you normal map a building like that the same way you'd normal map a prop? Where you go through the object and bevel the edges so that something like the window edges will have… -
Re: triangulating meshes before baking...
corrected sorry mate, was typing from my phone and it autocorrected fbx. more or less just saying because fbx has it's own triangulation method, you can just use that for both export to xnormal and export to game engine and the triangulaiton will be the same on both exports, while keeping your model in the maya scene…
