Many of you that bought the package Post Apocalyptic Weapon FULL SCENE / MATERIALS / TUTORIAL send me emails with questions.

 

Chapters of the tutorials will contain

 

0) How to take photos for scanned based textures

1) How to clean / prepare / make the textures from the scanned content

2) How to produce PBR ready sub textures (normal , height , roughness etc etc) from the main texture

3) Techniques OTHER than scanned based textures (Substance Designer etc etc )

4) Create the materials and explain the logic behind the technique in 3D Coat.

Hi !

Are you using the new option Find Sun in Add Extralight command in render Room to perform d-lighting process ?

Andrew introduced "Divide" as layer blending operation and up to some degree it compensates shadow. Of course not perfect. You will be able to try it.

The workflow:

1) Orient the scene correctly.
2) Use remove polygons tool to remove all unnecessary stuff - less, scene dimensions means better shadow quality.
3) Add the light in render room, vary the height, rotate scene to set shadow exactly. Decrease light scattering for the light to get narrow shadow edge.
4) Need to play a bit with degree of light.
5) In paint room bake the light.
6) Set divide as layer blending.
7) Vary layer opacity.

Don .... ha ahah ahahahahahaahahaaha good one.

Carlos , yes i used it , sometimes i use the baked light as described so i dont go back and forth from paint room to render room.

I used it in the some renders (other engines) as well , very very useful feature.

But how PBR can be combined with the handpainted style? Because handpainted workflow assumes that you paint all those highlights which respects some main (preferable) light direction, so it contradicts PBR ideology. As well as normal maps contradicts handpainting in that sense. Or am I wrong?

I will explain how they can be used in a mini tutorial.

Those are base materials , can be used with or without normal maps, so artists after applying them  then can paint over the light details or use the 3d coat baked light with AO and curvature.

 

Those materials can give you 

 

1) a very detailed base to paint over

2) If you use the weathering effect (shines , light , damages etc etc all will be included) you can have a detailed hand painted style model with out hand painting a lot 

or even at all.

 

Everything will come clear in the tutorial.
