Re: Help - Basic Normals problem
It looks to me like it's the normal map. There's nothing wrong with how you're baking or the shader you're using, but that the pixels near the edges aren't the same exact values. Now, if this assumption is correct, then I don't see any quick or easy fix. There will always be a seam unless it is perfectly squared off,… -
Re: current environment specs
1024x1024 is probably a good number, remember that 1K is 16x as many pixels as 256x256. 2K or 4K would really be overkill, especially if you consider 1920x1080 res, 4K would be 1:1 pixel ratio with a chunk of a wall 0.5m wide covering the entire screen, 2K would be about 1:1 at 1m. Though it really does *depend*, what sort… -
Re: Strange Lighting Bugs Even With LightMaps?
The seams you get when having "no lightmaps" aren't actually due to a bug. Without lightmap it will fall back on vertex lighting, but due to Unreals special approach to subdivided vertex lighting, seams appear between modular meshes (which because, great joy, epic by default has hidden the property that is meant to fix… -
Re: Blender to 3DSMAX : A few questions
2 - not a fix perhaps, but a help: the cut tool has two slightly different cursor icons depending on how it is cutting. 3 - [ctrl]+[c] creates a camera in the scene. You can then set any viewport to render from that camera. Using MMB will still move it around, but then you can [ctrl]+[z]. Maybe freeze/hide the camera or… -
Re: Triton Weapons Facility XR1 - Workshop Demo
Playing a little more with lighting, still no textures, but made the back door blue and added just some default no texture spec to get some highlights. @kaburan - thanks Will, yeah the bolts are just an error from the bake I havent cleaned up. Still have to clean up some of the banding from smoothing though. @coots7 - here… -
Re: Dark Elf Assassin
Okay so... In terms of shading there are three main components: Albedo Reflectivity Microsurface (roughness) Back in the old days they were called: Diffuse Specular Gloss It's important to understand that these terms are largely interchangeable now, and do basically the same thing, with a minor exception in… -

Re: Bake soft and hard edges as normals on low poly
Yes, I want to use the same low poly, and its soft and hard edges info. Let's simplify the problem. We have a cube with only the 4 side faces, no top, no bottom. All edges are soft. We bake each face to 100x100 pixels, and soft edges have a smoothing range of 10 pixels. Each row of the images would look something like… -
Re: Split UVs?
Splitting the uvs means the uvs need to be separated. You would split the uvs into 2 separate shells, and move them a few pixels apart so that there is a gap between them. I'm sure you know how to separate a uv shells since you've laid out the uvs, you can break the uvs or map them separately in order to split them. They… -
Re: [UV mapping] How can you determine the distance between UV islands?
From Polycount wiki: " Visual Packing Guide If you want a visual guide when creating your UVs, one easy way to see the spacing is to use a checker as the background image in your UV editor, with each checker square set to the padding width. For example to get a 4-pixel-wide checker on a 512x512 image, tile the checker…
