Finished my gunblade concept art, all done in 3dcoat

So I finished my corridor project so I can focus on another portfolio pieces, these props were made in 3Dcoat, I redid boxes and added another prop

Hello guys, recently I did some tiled textures for my unity piece, after exporting maps along Y I got pretty decent textures for metallic, roughness, normal and albedo to use in unity and tile them. Problem is that I miss occlusion and height maps. If I create a smart material with those maps and then apply them on rectangle and export, everything is looks flat.

Thanks for your replies guys, of course If I import mesh as in video, normals are baked properly. But If I go from retopo menu as you see below or File -> Import -> Reference mesh, I will get baked flat normals. Basically there is a low poly pipe that I turbo smoothed to get High poly smooth object that I used as high poly reference, then I used the same low poly pipe as a Retopo mesh or cage, to bake normals from that HP obj.

This is how it looks like.

Yes, I did uvs for low poly and then baked

Hello, I encountered strange behavior when importing external mesh for retopo. It is a simple pipe, so low poly model as a retopo cage and turbosmoothed hi poly model. When I bake them all normals are flat, no curvature informationi. But If I import high poly model into sculpt room and subdivide and then bake with cage, normals are properly baked. Am I missing something in retopo settings?

I modeled a prop to put into corridor a small sci fi box.

Here is screenshot from unity, modeled in 3Ds max and textured in 3dcoat, floor is made in 3d coat tile creator

Working on modular parts for sci fi corridor, stay tuned!

I finished recent work on Drone in 3D coat, any thoughts ? https://www.artstation.com/artwork/5rQ4W

updated version of previous picture

I had similar problem when exporting low poly (approx 350 polys) from 3Ds Max. What I did is, that I opened 3Ds max Unwrap UVW modifier on the model and problem was that UV in 3Ds max was in extremely scaled far out of the UV box. So I just scaled it down inside the box and exported, no error message then. I am still not sure what adjustment needs to be done in 3Ds max to prevent this.

little oldschool picture i am working on now

Hello guys I hope this is not a stupid question but Is there option to have smart material effect on textures when painting normal map? I noticed that material properties like for example rust on concave/convex etc are not showing on normal maps? Or is there need for any specific order of smart material and normal map in layer tree?
