Reimporting screws up smooth groups
When I import a mesh using FBX, it imports just fine with no surprises. However when I reimport it I get funky smooth groups. To make matters worse, despite the content browser displaying the mesh with funky smooth groups, it doesn't seem to affect the meshes already imported and instanced in engine. Shown above are the… -
Usage of tessellation
Hello everyone i played with a bit with the udk tessellation and have a few qustions. Can it be that Tessellation shows only good results with organic or round Meshes because they have naturally a equal spreading of edges? When i use tessellation on a material like a brick wall i need a high tessellation factor at long… -
Specular map help
I need help making my spec maps more believable. When I connect a spec map to my meshes, they are all very shiny even though I didn't blow out the whites in the original maps. Everything looks like metal. Do I need to work with the spec power node as well? I went ahead and used a multiply and constant3vector expression per… -
Vertex shading issue?
Another noob question, and I am sure this one has been asked a million times. On my pursuit of going back to basics I have ran into an issue where a simple cube is getting weird shading in the bottom corner, this seems to be happening to all faces on the cube. There are 2 UV sets, each of which has 0-1 UV space, with no… -
Sketchbook - Odog

I'd still like to… -

Because it's a personal project I give myself about 5000 tris for the final model, but I'll try to stay under 3000. Here's… -
Occluders in xNormal
I'm using xNormal for the synched normals pipeline for UDK, and have hit a bit of a snag. In Max or Blender, when baking, there are three sets of meshes; the low poly, the high poly that is being directly baked from, and high poly that won't be directly baked, just as a shadow casting/occluding/light reflecting surface.… -
merc-ai's cyberpunk WIP thread
Hello! Long time lurker, first time poster here. Polycount has been a great source of knowledge and inspiration for me, so I figured this would be the best place to go for professional feedback, so I can improve my skillset as artist and make a better-looking game. I am currently developing GSH, an isometric cyberpunk game… -
