Abraham Leal, I would love for you to teach us or show us a tutorial on how to create a Borderlands 3 style texturing! It's a very unique style for game art.

[@UtterUnit]

That would be pretty cool.

thanks for yourr sharing

[@adrianorodrigue]

Nice class !

[@lukecoulson1096]

Abe your videos are amazing you've done a great job at explaining and showing how its done! One quick thing, you were running out of video memory because you were also recording a video.

[@AbeLeal3D]

Haha yep might need to get a 4090 soon 😅

Thank you Streamer for your work. I apologize for my English in advance. I would like to clarify one question: how relevant is this topic for the gaming industry? Let's not take into account the creation of characters and all organics.

[@AbeLeal3D]

Yes they can be used however you need to be mindful on when to use them due to Performance issues. I will record a video soon about how to use them inside of Unreal

[@leonsaladinkenaz7592]

Good tutorial. However maya layout tool unable to maintain same texel density across UDIM. So plugin like Malcolm tool or Polyraven UV are very handy for UDIM workflow. Hope Autodesk will make improvement for maya uv tool.

[@rohitpedkar5057]

Hi Sir. Just wanna know. Is it fine to use UDIM if working on realistic game asset for portfolio in order to get better texture resolution and quality.

[@AbeLeal3D]

normally no, udims can be used in games but they are heavy, so for performance sake it might be better to showcase your textures more traditionall, but you can definitely use 4k maps for youe portfolio assets.

[@pablotas9743]

Nice thumbnail 👍

[@AbeLeal3D]

Thanks 😁

[@manvirrayat7030]

why my normals udims have different shades?😭😭😭😭

[@AbeLeal3D]

share some of that and tag me on the discord help room and i might be able to help

[@NeloMN1]

One thing, instead of using one material to bring to substance i separate the object intro different materials, (one material per tile) is that a bad way to work? It's best having on substance only one material with all udims inside of It??

[@AbeLeal3D]

One of the purposes of udims is save time in the setup of materials so ideally you want 1 material per object and then multiple UDIMs in that material. Otherwise you will need to connect a lot of stuff

Can we use multiple materials with udims

that kinda defeats the purpose of having udims but yes, it is possible to have multiple materials and udims

yes and no, you dont have access to a single material that can read all the tiles but you can create one material per tile and connect things normally

[@gabrielfranco3558]

Hey, I got a bit confused, you said you're using 16 tiles of 2K maps, and that would be like using an 8k map? is that it? Because in my mind using 4 tiles of 2k would be like an 8k map

[@gabrielfranco3558]

Oh, I think you meant in the aspect of file size, and I was thinking on the image quality.

[@AbeLeal3D]

@@gabrielfranco3558 Hey my friend! yeah i meant file size, an 8k texure is equal to 16 2k tiles, but the size difference, specially to open and read them, is quite big.

[@gabrielfranco3558]

​@@AbeLeal3D So in regards to real time rendering, the UDIMs makes it heavier?

[@AbeLeal3D]

@@gabrielfranco3558 yes it is heavy regardless. Cause it's more texture space at the end

Hello! Wonderful lesson! I only have one wish for you. Could you speak more slowly? I don't understand English very well. But besides the fact that I need to understand what you said and translate it into my language, I also need to keep track of what you show on the screen... Thank you.

[@gegi4577]

that's not a problem since KZbin has the speed control option. the author shouldn't sacrifice his own efficience by adjusting to such stuff

[@Karlitaestrella]

Hi a have a question , could you help me to solved please?! I will be very grateful! If you want to texturize a complete model , you can pack the entire model in one UDIM and put on the map size , something like 16K ínstead of having a lot of udims with 4K for example? thank you for reading me

[@AbeLeal3D]

Excellent question. The issue with a 16k texture is that It is huge! So from a performance standpoint it is easiert to read 4 4k textures than it is to read 1 16k texture. Even tho they have the same amount of texture space

[@avroracreateser]

I like your videos very much. Just stop sugar. Right from today. No sugar in your meals any more. Doctor Berg saved my life, I want to save yours/ Listen to him. Find his lectures
