i know it is pretty off topic but do anyone know of a good website to stream new tv shows online?

[@jixal]

Simple but a great result!

Very nice and optimized, great work brother

Thank you Akadet!

OMG this video upload in a right time because I need it for my assignments. Thank you so much!!!

Nice! Good timing

[@xMarrilliamsx]

This is sooo awesome and informative! I really appreciate you going through the whole process and explaining it. You simply can't get better information than what you've presented :)

Awesome! Great to hear

Amazing 😄🤩

Oh man... thanks for this one.

[@3dextrude]

Hope it helps!

[@alexeyb.4052]

nice

[@yarogrigoriev1609]

wish you slowed down the video by 2 So I can see what tools your using while baking and all.

[@ControllerCrusade121]

how did you paint away the edges of the leaves in substance painter?

[@OffendedFoxCh]

question: why when I bake the textures in Substance it doesnt show the high poly effect to the low poly?

[@saibot4754]

Question: I created the smart material for stylized texture using your other tutorial. In that you create edge highlights for the wall. I was wondering how can you make two different coloured edge highlights for the same mesh? SO in this case, green highlights for the leaves and brown for the palm trunk? I am a new subscriber, love what you do, makes me really excited about creating stuff like this XD

[@3dextrude]

You could use masking for that and use two separate layers with the different colors applied on each.

[@roygiraldo7570]

Nice

[@3dextrude]

Thank you Roy!

[@romansrule3]

Awesome video :) How did you start painting out the leaves though?

[@3dextrude]

enabled opacity map and added a mask with 100% opacity and painted with that.

[@NinjaStreak]

Question: when you’re adjusting UV’s in the Editor, does your Maya ever crash unexpectedly? B/c mine does all the time.

[@3dextrude]

in rare occasions, but that's usually if there is something weird going on with the model( ngons, non manifold geo, etc). So it's good to check if there is something odd going on with the geo, also recommend deleting history as well. But short answer is yes.

[@ChrisBurns3D]

@1:50 You can always 'reverse curve direction' rather than rebuild it

[@3dextrude]

yeah it's something I didn't think about at the moment

[@muaddib9433]

I'm sure somebody has already pointed this out but there is no need to manually mask the transparent parts out. You can bake normal map with diffusion set to minimum, then take that normal map to photoshop and make black and white alpha out of it. Then use that texture for transparency.

[@3dextrude]

Yes, that's a good way to do it. Alternatively you can also bake an ID map and use that as well for masking.

[@1989johno]

you high poly version for leaves was only a couple polys large than your low poly.. surely just using the high poly would be less taxing than have an opacity mask?

[@3dextrude]

Depends on the platform it will be used, but yeah not using alpha for this would be fine as well.

[@peterrandall6761]

Im a little new to uv unwrapping in substance, so for the objects that were the same (leaves, tree trunk parts) did you overlap the uvs? Also, im using blender but for the most part everything should be the same

[@3dextrude]

Yes, same objects have overlapping uvs, but before importing to Painter I usually offset the overlapping uvs by 1 in the uv editor; this is because sometimes Painter won't bake if you have overlapping uvs

[@peterrandall6761]

@@3dextrude what do you mean by offset? Sorry for the ignorance I'm still new to substance and unwrapping

[@3dextrude]

@@peterrandall6761 I mean to move the uvs to the side to another uv quadrant

[@peterrandall6761]

@@3dextrude do you have any tutorials sepcifally on that?

[@3dextrude]

@@peterrandall6761 I don't specifically for that, you may be able to see it in action if you slow down the video through the KZbin playback settings

[@souvikbiswas5692]

Nice video bro 💝. Can you please make a video on "Vines"?

[@3dextrude]

I might, it's a very similar process though.

[@aishamohammed7700]

Is it possible to export the model back into Maya with the colors, texture painting and stuff intact?

[@3dextrude]

You will have to export the textures, create a material in Maya and assign the textures to it. The model itself you will already have in Maya since that's where it was exported from in the beginning.

[@Dhieen]

how do oyu bake in substance painter the tree leaves without errors when you have multiple ones??

[@3dextrude]

Make sure to bake by mesh name or if baking with overlapping uvs offset those by 1

[@Dhieen]

@@3dextrude oooh Nice ! Will you make a short tutorial to show that ? Would be nice and will interest alot of people i think

[@art_o_maniac7984]

can u please tell me how and where u rendered that 360 degree rotation of the model 9:36

Hello...i love ur timelapse... I am also making a stylized scene..and i m a beginner..this is my first time i m making a scene.... But i am confused in unwrapping please make a tut..of unwrapping.🙂..is it necessary to unwrapp stylized model...no so high poly???

[@3dextrude]

You need to UV the low poly model, but not the high poly one.

[@flyingangel2052]

@@3dextrude then for high it we will be no problem while texturing??? thanks...

[@3dextrude]

@@flyingangel2052 You'll be texturing the low poly model. The high is for sculpting details which doesn't need uvs
