Re: UV island seams
Well, there are two different possible issues here, as I see it: 1. If you have hard-edge meshes with correlating separated UV islands and try to do bevels in your normalmap from the hipoly this way, as far as I know, Unreal will not display your normals correctly as they would appear in Max when viewed with qualified… -
Re: what do you think about my portfolio? what is the next step?
I'd say, if you want to work as a cinematic artist ( I assume for pre-rendered stuff like commercial etc ... ) , you should focus on 1 or 2 area, like Modeling / Surfacing / Lighting / Comp / Rigging / Animation blabla Right now you have 2D work, Some props rendered in a real-time enging, you have some texture work, some… -
Re: UV editing & mesh deforms
Pssh.... you think you got problems... I run into all sorts of nightmares particularly when you got the Normal map people telling you to keep uv chunks as linear as possible (like in your first example). Then you got the other half telling you to Relax everything which ends up looking like your second example. Here's what… -
Re: THIS JUST IN: MODO indie 901 has just been released!
Actually if you're willing to make some changes here and there you can have a pretty workable pipeline on Linux. Switch out Krita for Photoshop, Mudbox for Zbrush, Modo for Modo (or the main app of your choice), and add in 3d Coat for texturing or UV layout if necessary and you'll basically everything you need. For baking… -
Re: Welcome to making of "Town square" map in UDK
I really want to like this, and i think your diffuse textures and layout are great. Something is off, and its hard for me to place my finger on what it is. I feel like there is a grunge layer of some sort that is hurting the consistency here. I see it in your unlit shots. It is like a cloud filter mask that is overlayed on… -
Re: [WIP] Hand-Painted Sword
@FullSynch Thanks so much man, I appreciate the kind words and the crit! :) I made the leather bands stick off a bit to try and get more silhouette out of them, since I used geometry for them I wanted them to be really visible. However, they might be alittle too far out there haha. Rings definitely need work fo sho, I… -
Re: How does one substance designer work in a game environment workflow?
Generally UV. Terrain is normally quite flat, so a simple projection generally suffices. Some people might use a triplanar projection while texturing, and project that onto the UV map, but other than that I don't think it's used often in game engines. Substance designer is a way to make static textures (or adjustable… -
Re: Help required with UV optimizing
You have about 65% UV-coverage which in the end is a real waste of texture memory. And even if you stitched it all together and placed the shell on a 1:4 -ratio map you would get exactly the same kind of UV-coverage, with a waste of 35% texture space. I would try and use those other 35% to something else (either for detail… -
Re: My unwraping sucks, not sure what im doing wrong.
Your UV's look decent, although you have some squashing and stretching in some places. Maya has a surprisingly competent unfolding tool. Shift + rightclick down in the UV editor to get to it. I can't remember where it is in the menu as I'm too used to marking menus. You can also try out Roadkill.… -
Re: VR Projects Basics / issues
Hello polycounters! Today I have a new issue about main motion controller blueprint... I'm building an aplication where I can pickup some objects of my level. This object has a bluprint based on empty VR proyect layout but I changed it a little bit. I would like the object can be grab with a "snap effect"... So it is so…
