i can link you a video that really helped me with gun texturing

so its all i use

hate working with old engines cause models go ow lmao
at least you can force halo 3s engine to just take 200k tris if you want lmao
daring condor
Eh it's not a big deal from what I know, at least for a3
It can supposedly deal with tris just fine
Section count (materials/ UVs) seem to be the bottleneck
minor crystal
huh interesting
i only recently moved to more small textured rather than few big ones
kinda like cod has it

minor crystal
lemme look
minor crystal
i was looking at that and the m16s
jesus
i mean granted they are very much simplified, thats insane
my main take away from the past month is
i really gotta get into a fusion360/cad to zbrush workflow for guns
cause the amount of time wasted on polymodeling something like a gun is just a waste
daring condor
Personally I CBF to get expensive software like zbruh or fancy cad shit
minor crystal
i have zbrush in a totally legitmate way
but also i think fusion is free if you're not a company
daring condor
Interesting
minor crystal
eitherway i can very much see why cod gun modellers all moved to cad
minor crystal
oh me too, it pains me cause i love blender
oh hey i have access to plasticity, havent tried it in a bit tho
daring condor
Nurbs software but not cad oriented
Hmm
I mainly do vics
So polymodelling suits me just fine
daring condor
Vehicles
minor crystal
ahh yeah thats fair
i might install latest version of plasticity and just get to work on a random attachment to see if it really saves time
daring condor
Studios have some insane workflows
minor crystal
i'd probably rather deal with cleanup of cad than to deal with a week for a small object
lmao
minor crystal
oo oki
minor crystal

Yep, all praise technical artists
I think it might be possibly to do something similar with ab3d geonodes setup

Hi, i have a small blender question. When i separate the bones from the mesh (Redo things of the bones), the model get huge. Its the any way to rescale it to the original dimensions? Doing by hand its a little bit messy

sounds like the bones have been scaled
and when you remove them that scaling gets also removed
you would have to apply such transformations before removing bones

Not too sure the best place to post this but I'm finding my scope doesn't zoom when set to 4x magnification (as it should be). It zooms in to the right amount when it's set to 10x.. but that's not the right amount of magnificiation for the scope to display on the UI

I agree that the base mesh for the leg should have more versions that are lower as in including the ankle. For performance anyway.

it's a bit strange not to have them, but I can also see why not to include them, saves a small amount of polygons, and you don't need to hazzle about animating stuff like the sling moving around

you are right, even the M72 law lacks a sling in the stowed position
however the sling is kind of needed to protected it since its hold the covers together

I just see video games make the low poly as a slope
oh yes but it my first lod
in fact the model I was importing was at the right basic size so the small faces were not recognized
tacit eagle
reforger should be able to handle it, I just think its such small detail and polygons could be spent in other places
fathom bolt
I don't know but it's strange sometimes we have no choice
minor crystal
would definitely recommend baking that down onto a slope
you barely notice the difference in a game and saves considerable polygons for more demanding areas
even for lod0
tacit eagle
yeah how big is each half circle? like 20 sided?
tacit eagle
greg that is an sane amount of detail for something that takes up less than 1 cubic inch of space
fathom bolt
it will stay like that for this weapon for another I'll try to get down in poly

did you end up importing 10x scale then scaling down once againโฆ?

yes in blender i've make my model bigger i try in enfusion to see if somes faces are gone or not and if not in the re-import tab i change the scale to 0.5 in my case

tacit eagle
to save on poly I only use 6 sided circles for my sights
calm rune
1406 faces for this piece
No even for LOD0 for a fire selector that is too much.
sly bridge
to save on poly I only use 6 sided circles for my sights
i'd say sights is something where one can splurge some more polygons, unlike a 1.5k fireselector....
minor crystal
anything closer to the users sight is definitely where you can splurge more
sights, carryhandle, charging handle
those are places normal maps alone cant carry you
sly bridge
anything closer to the users sight is definitely where you can splurge more
yep, even though i have never actually did the COD way of texturing, where the closer to the screen the denser the texels (also left side has almost twice the texel density than right side) :))
minor crystal
maybe in the older games, cod mw19 rips show texel density being equal
on left to right at least
they just use alot of texturesets with smaller textures
sly bridge
especially for sights and the likes, long are the 24 faces for a scope....you can check A3 vanilla base scopes against the DLC ones....
minor crystal
silhouettes add alot subconsciously
sly bridge
maybe in the older games, cod mw19 rips show texel density being equal
hmm, i wouldn't know, i'm sure older titles did this trick - read an article about it some 10+ years ago
minor crystal
that's fair, they did change alot of it to keep up with modern expectations
nowadays guns are viewed from any angle with inspect animations, weapon editor etc
from the MW19 FAL
similar pieces on the upper
sly bridge
especially for a game that is both 1P and 3P, i would keep things pretty evenly
minor crystal
yeah, i'd say that now with how common place it is to have 5-10 texture sets / udim with 5-10 textures its definitely just worth keeping it even all over
since high TD is easy to accomplish
tacit eagle
does ReFroger have 1st and 3rd weapon models?
sly bridge
no, it does have 1st person and 3rd person view, no more pilot view like in A3
sly bridge

to be honest, for a weapon, 5+ texture sets is a bit on the much side, seems that most in reforger have a lot less
minor crystal
it really depends
cod seems to do 5 pretty often
depends on modularity too ofc
ofc depends on resolution too
sly bridge
5 individual uv/texture sets, 1-2k each (at least that is for most console games)
minor crystal
the combined maps for material / normals have been split by whoever ported this tho
in reality it has 8 sets
sly bridge
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
minor crystal
5 as in 5k?
5 texture sets like pufu said
tacit eagle
isnt it better just to use a bigger texture than splitting them?
minor crystal
no cause you end up with smaller sizes with more textures
for similar TD
if not less
- better for modularity
also because you can do stuff like this for some parts
sly bridge
i dunno, for A3, the more individual textures the less well it used to work - so if you had to choose between 4x 1k texture vs 1x 2k texture, the later would be the better bet
tacit eagle
so what like having handguards use a separate mesh and texture. so you can switch them out easily ?
sly bridge
also 4K textures would be the first to be mipmaped
minor crystal
yeah for example
handguards, stocks, barrel attachments, maybe ironsights if you wanna go that far
sly bridge
ideally you would have the least amount of textures available on screen at any time
so if you have a squad of 4 people using M4s in different setups, you could add say 2 accessories on a single texture set than have each accessory with its own texture set - also better for averaging the texel density
minor crystal
UDIMS are the ultimate solution for something like this
sly bridge
it is always indicated to have the least amount of textures at possible. also polygons are cheap to render, textures not so much (hence why several maps have been collapsed into 4 types of textures using full RGBA for 2 or more maps)
sly bridge
UDIMS are the ultimate solution for something like this
reforger doesn't use UDIMS unfortunatelly
minor crystal
cause you can have many smaller textures for say attachments (multiple 512 or 1024s for example) and it'll just treat it as 1 textureset
minor crystal
reforger doesn't use UDIMS unfortunatelly
not alot does sadly
else i would've fully moved to udims already

for reforger exclusively, i would keep the number of textures sets to a decent minimum (and use existing assets as base)
sly bridge
i don't think i have seen 4k textures in reforger for weapons, pretty sure that is supported, but not sure how does the engine handles it.
sly bridge
2k?
depends on the size of a weapon. i know people who prefer 2kx4k textures for rifles
minor crystal
my latest rifle was a bit overboard on TD so i have many sets but
sly bridge
does workbench show texel density?
minor crystal
in general you want to go for 2k / 1k for weapons
that's what i see in most AAA games anyways
sly bridge
that's because consoles suck in terms of vram
minor crystal
also size
4k heavy :(
that's another reason why i went to the cod style of setting it up
tacit eagle
4k for vehicles? :3
minor crystal
4k for vehicles is acceptable imo
sly bridge
afaik it is preferable to have a single 1x 4K texture over 4x 2k textures for DX11+
tacit eagle
๐ฎ
tacit eagle
8k i think with a download
minor crystal
oh yeah
tacit eagle
war thunder is pretty great, BI could learn a lot from them
sly bridge
1x 4k texture = lower draw calls. Also because SSDs are a thing, loading times are not really affected (also 4K texture should be automaticly mipmaped based on ingame texture settings)
again PC exclusive thing based on DX11 docs available
minor crystal
i wouldn't go out expecting SSDs as a main thing
even now
most people still keep a majority of their games on good ol massive hdds
tacit eagle
ive installed refroger on a hard drive
tacit eagle
u notice the textures loading when you start
sly bridge
according to steam, 80+ % uses ssds for windows partition
minor crystal
as with many 3d aspects
yeah i only use it for windows
games are too big to put on just ssds
sly bridge
:))) i have 2x2TB +1xTB of gen4 NVME SSDs plus an older 1xTB SATA SSDs....
tacit eagle
all the big open world games I put on a SSD
minor crystal
the pricing is definitely going down but alot of people are still rocking hdd for big games
i'd say a few more years before it really becomes a standard
sly bridge
ssds are pretty cheap these days...it is one of the things that gets fluidity
i do have 2 x old school HDDs for backups, despite moving everything in terms of backup to either cloud or NAS...
minor crystal
definitely looking forward to replacing all of my storage with ssds
soon
it is painful using substance painter on a hdd lmao
sly bridge
anyways, i would keep the texture sets as similar to vanilla reforger as possible....going overboard can get expensive fast, and i would rather make fewer larger textures than the other way around (that might not be the best approach for console optimization - but for mods i don't really care for now)
minor crystal
im sticking to what im doing for my portfolio / what i see assets i look up to doing
eitherway for mods as long as you dont go extreme you'll be fine
sly bridge
it is also good to have a general idea about the number of said assets that will be present (instanced and texture loaded) at the same time on screen
is one thing having a lot of texture sets for things that are being shown on screen all the time - character gear and uniforms, main base weapons etc and another for things like tanks and the like
anyways, back to work for me
minor crystal
very true
ultimately i'd say its circumstantial, you wanna balance both where you can
forexample my previous weapon averages at about 68px/cm with 4k textures (109mb) while my newer one averages 70-80px/cm at 100mb, comes down to similar stats just with extra draw calls until you also account for the modularity
tacit eagle
what does it mean by % UV space?
bright raft
forexample my previous weapon averages at about 68px/cm with 4k textures (109mb)...
Wow, thats pretty high density compared to mine. How many textures you have for newer weapons?
tacit eagle
does that mean how much UV islands take up the UV map?
minor crystal

anything at like 70% and up is gud

last rifle was 8 texturesets

Why does the game keep telling me about a "sand" material on the sphere collider I setup in blender? No matter which game material i select in the collider setup using the blender plugin?
**EDIT: ** It appears it works after manually removing the material and report, but this was the first time a collider was added with no material selected initially. So I am confused why it chose sand ...
EDIT 2: This is probably because I coped the existing collider samples from github, they all have sand on them. Maybe they should be assigned with the default material instead?

I think I'll have to re-do all the hardware bits do get them looking nice and pointy, but even having the reference right there in blender in 3d makes the process so much faster - also there's plenty more that can be done to tune up the texture to do things like better highlighting of the seam areas and so on

Wut. When it comes to organic modelling 3D scans when done properly look better then any hand sculpted model. That's not even up for debate.
zenith quartz
Magazine!
This has been a royal pain.
All of those blue lines (I mark them as bevel lines to make it easy to remove later) are support loops which were all hand placed.
Since my workflow uses both creases and support loops, subdiv, and then I stick it in zbrush for the actual edge bevels.
Just about done! All that's left is the mag catch and the plate on the bottom.
zenith quartz
Also have a clever little spring which'll use a tiling normal map, texture, and probably a global BCR (it is painted red towards the bottom)
zenith quartz
does your fingers hurt
I guess? xD
I've been working on this for a few days - today for about 7 hours.
tacit eagle
so how does the texture for the spring work
zenith quartz
It's just a horizontally tiling one, works like any other tiling texture. ๐
So I don't have to actually model a spring out of a cylinder or something.
tacit eagle
so your gonna use a cylindrical normal and share the same uv space for most of it?
zenith quartz
Yup!
Prooobably using PBRMatMulti or whatever, I think.
For the spring alone.
No clue if that's a good solution or not but we'll see. Main thing is I just need that global BCR for the red paint.
tacit eagle
I think you should model a little red plastic tab instead

I'd rather stick to the real thing.
