Re: When 3D painting, are automatic UV unwraps acceptable?
Personally I never do retopology and UV mapping because you can get great result with decimation and Smart UVs project for static game assets, like you can see in this demo: https://youtu.be/-Fy7g3g6uCI For the texel density a new auto-packing algorithm is in preparation in the Blender source code, for now it's an addon:… -
Re: robot tank assembly line
Sup Adam, seem to remember playing left for dead with a guy with the same name ;) . First suggestion is to take the wheels off the tanks, they suck up a lot of tris and the scene would look better without 'em. Anyway, you've got some pretty cool assets there, but the arrangement kinda kills the flow of your scene, namely… -
Game mesh texturing: seamless platform surface
Hi! I’m looking for advice on implementing a game asset like this. It’s a platform made up of several objects placed tightly next to each other, forming a single surface. I’m interested in methods to texture-paint such an object as shown in the screenshot. I want to achieve a seamless surface — say grass, a meadow, or… -
What am I doing wrong? (Another) Texture Seam/Lighting Question
Hello, First and foremost, I appreciate your time to read and respond to my question. I've searched multiple forum's post histories regarding similar problems, but nothing has proven helpful. Below, you'll see to examples of my current problem: At first, I thought I wasn't producing a quality tile seam using the… -
Re: Concept art practice sketchpad.
One thing that bugs me here is the lack of contrast in saturation, between foreground/background. You do the entire image using saturated colors. You could try to use more satured, clear colors on the main them of the picture (usually in first plane) and more desatured on backgound. This helps to guides the viewer's eyes… -
Re: Normal Maps: Can Somone Explain This "Black Edge" issue
r_fletch_r, and MoP, thanks a bunch for the responces. This morning, on my way into work, I had this finally click for me. The issue, in part, is the direction the rays are cast. When you are not using a cage the rays are controlled by the smoothing (angle of the vertex normals). This means if you have a hard edge at a 90… -
Re: Blizzard Student Contest - Character Art
2 things stick out for me. the back legs blend into the tail because the colors are the same in a certain area. I would def. fix that. Another thing is some areas feel like they lack contact ao such as under the leg armors and such. I haven't studied this specific art style though but I feel contact ao and values should be… -
Re: 3D model Baking practice
Hey, after taking a look at the Blend file, here are some notes: Lowpoly - lowpoly has some hard edges with no splits UVs (for example along edge the blade) - this will result in artifacts when baking the normal map. Using the "Auto Smooth" modifier, which shades edges hard by angle can easily introduce such cases that go… -
Re: L3DT/World Machine to UE4 ... tutorials?
The 16 texture cap is a DX9 limit. If you look on the UE4 trello roadmap it looks like they plan to bump up DX11 shaders to a 32 texture limit. Until then, if you can turn off static lighting, you should get back a couple texture samplers. If you use constants for specular/roughness, you get back another texture sampler… -
