Re: All textures export at 4k?
even if you author at 4k and the level of downsample is not having a negative effect, you can export from say substance or what ever and do the downsample there, or most of it there, and not within the game engine project files to save project space. Authoring and importing a 4k set for something that's likely going to be… -
Re: Is there a way to bake a normal map with "overlaying layers" of objects on a plane?
Project UV from the plane to those small objects . Bake object /world space normal map. Apply it on the plane only and re-bake it to tangent space . Not a single click although . Also you could just double the plane, select the original, shift it a bit and use the rest as hi poly object plus another copy of original plane… -
Re: [Art Dump] - Alberto Rdgrz - Warning: Image heavy.
Dude Alberto this is looking sweeeet~! I'm loving to art direction of this and I agree with Oniram on the things he said. Couple of things, the normal map on the white brick looks a bit noisy/pixelated, i also might tone down the ao in the cracks it looks a bit dark almost outlines the bricks in a way(could just be my… -
Re: UV Maps and Texturing are my Bane
I use this for 3dsmax: http://www.raylightgames.com/xrayunwrap/. Costs a few bucks but is money well spent. Makes the unwrapping so much easier, more intuitive and time saving. I also recommend you get tex tools so you can normalize your uv islands (get even pixel density across the whole model). Also make it a habbit to… -
Re: Current Generation Modelling and Texturing Techniques, 2013/14
I disagree. Triangles are cheapest way to improve your model, and are least important resource you have. If you can reduce shader (material) complexity by using more triangles. Do so!. If you can can reduce amount of textures used by increaseing tri amount. Do it! If you can better normal map, by adding more triangles. Do… -
Re: Lowpoly enviroments?
Hi Drayton, thanks for the reply. Of course I know the difference between RAM and VRAM :D Though for me they are actually one and the same. My engine is a browser based software renderer in Flash, and thus the same pool of system RAM is used for everything, geometry, textures etc, there is no GPU access at all. As far as… -
Re: Color change effect questions
Yep, that's all do-able. It'll depend heavily on the shader that you'll need to write for it, so make sure the game engine you want has decent shader support. But you could do floating-point color, so I think that's 65K or is it 16M? The color can be dynamically set at run-time based on some kind of input. Just need a way… -
Re: Monthly Community Noob Challenge December 2013 (14)
I adjusted the storage room until it was to a scale I liked and then I rebuilt it in modular pieces. The props are really temporary still. I know some of the scaling doesn't look correct, now that I've changed the size of the room, so I'll keep that in mind when I go into actually making the prop assets. Now that I've made… -
Re: Extrusion VS Floating Geo
Thanks for the reply Bardler, and I was thinking faster than I could type. Sorry about that. I just was talking about an employer who wanted to be impressed by something complicated. He showed his portfolio. Dont get me wrong, it was GREAT work, however, his wireframe showed unnecessary loops in things like cylinders and… -
Re: Advice needed )
If it's a unique item, then yes you map it to its own single texture, so it uses 100% of the UV space. You can't avoid blurry pixels, but you can reduce them with several tricks. 1. Increase the size of the texture sheet. But that takes 4x room in memory, which is usually very limited. 2. Reuse parts of the model in UV…
