Re: UDK Material/Black Diffuse for metal
Yeeeah...not sure yet, I'll have to add some detail to the Spec and Gloss. I was kind of hoping for something amazing I guess. Just made me think, if this was a way of getting close to physical accurate I should try it. However without any light in the scene you're going to get a 100% black object. Which I wouldn't think… -
Re: low poly curiosity
I work at a vehicle simulation company, and our first release featured cars in the 10k range. We're adding an LoD system and upping that, we're currently looking at 20k/5k/1k. That said, anything in the 5-20 range works for a different goal in mind. So long as it's not 500k, where you go "sure, that looks nice... but so… -
Re: how do you create tilable textures for uneven floor tiles not all the same dimensions?
yes I did stick to the grid and i didnt think about the floor at the time :( , and the building i am creating has curved walls so i imagine there must be a process for it as not everything is straight right anglles in the real world. I have done different tile sizes so it fits (rectangle or square as you advised 150 x 150… -
Re: Mazda RX8
Some tips for modeling cars (can be applied elsewhere) 1: Anything that is one surface, is modeled as one surface. As you can see from the reference pics, both doors form (when closed) one smooth shape, that continues to the boot. You do this so that reflections look 1000% better on the final model because you'll have… -

Re: Shadow Popping?
For what it's worth, this has been annoying me for the last few months so I did some digging and debugging and found out that the culprit was indeed the virtual shadow maps and that I could see the clipmap/mip level issues in the debug view. Directional light popping: Debug view: For the directional light, I edited the… -
CGTrader: Show me the money!
CGTrader is a new site that provides artists with 100% royalties from the sales of their items - yeah, that's right... 100%. Now, you may think there's a catch (isn't there always?) but all you need to do is "rent a space" for your item to go in the marketplace which is a one time fee. Sounds like a pretty fair deal to me.… -
ANSWERED: Stability patch: licensing info empty & QS crash
Hi guys, I've bought SUITE, installed it and experienced some licensing [or maybe just UI] troubles with stability patch. System: * Windows 8.1 x64 EN; * Photoshop CC 2014.2.2 [20141204.r.310 x64] EN; * No AV or firewall installed/active. STORY 1: Install QS 1.8 [without starting QS]. Install stability patch. Start QS, no… -
Re: Help - Mesh is causing flipped normals across axes in substance (non overlapping UVs), nothing works
Hello ! Well, Substance Painter will never be the actual target environment for the model to be displayed in - an actual game engine will be. Hence I personally see no point in giving *any* attention to the way things shade in Substance Painter (outside of making sure that the generators behave as intended). In other… -
Re: Default Maya Orthographic Camera Position/Clipping Planes
Ended up doing a combo of both of the above responses. Using a default scene didn't work; for some reason the cameras were always set to the default even though I'd edited them in the saved scene. I don't think usersetup.mel runs when you open a scene, just when you load Maya, so I created a default scene with a script…
