Hey there Tim... First of all, thanks a lot for the tutorials, they are very helpful. I believe the solution to the ornament tiling issue is the following... Make the cylinder base object wider, let's say 420cm. When you brush in the ornaments in Zbrush, you will get those extra 10cm on each side. Finally when you bring it back to max or Maya ( I use Maya)... Then bake it on to the square base mesh, those extra 10cm on each side will be left out cuz there is no geo to bake on. Again, thanks for all your efforts. Regards, Rami

Fantastic tutorial series Tim. Really inspiring to see such a level of detail which can also be used in a huge variety of situations. I thought i would share a tip regarding the Substance painter previewing of a tiling material. I think your approach of duplicating the mesh is prpbably the easiest way of doing it but if you shift the UV's from the two duplicated meshes to the 1 to 2 UV space it will not be used for baking in Substance and will essentially just work to extend the texture of the middle part even if you need to go back and make changes to the high poly model and re-bake.

I've just created my first trim texture using these tutorials! I´d love to see some tuts on vertex painting with tileable textures, to see how to combine both techniques, specially around optimisation, as it seems like there is a delicate balance on how many vertex do you need to have on your meshes so you can use vertex painting without sacrificing performance too much. I'd like to see what are the industry limitations and standards on this.

Hello! Interesting tips, but as i see you working mostly with some kind of bricks, what about if you need to create some flat material like concrete wall with some imperfections like cracks and fallen off plaster parts? The problem is you need to cover by this material large area of surface and keep high detail resolution as well.
@PolygonAcademy2 жыл бұрын
In that case you would want to use a tiling texture, one that tiles both horizontally and vertically instead of just horizontally like this trim sheet. For additional detail and hiding repetition you could use vertex blending to control things like cracks and plaster so its not super repeated and you can totally hide the tiling with a few blends :)

I think for a more unique model like that, it would be treated more like most props/weapons etc with a unique normal map bake from a highpoly and unique textures.

Hello Tim. I am having a problem with the Mesh baking. When I try to bake my high poly to the plane, I get multiple errors saying that "Highpoly scene was required when baking X Map from Mesh but could not be loaded." This all shows up for the Normal Map, the Color Map, the AO Map, and the Thickness Map. I have looked online and from what I found it says that my poly count might be too high (which seems ridiculous considering the whole point of this program is to bake high poly mesh details to low poly meshes) but it still gave me the same error even after I exported with a lower subdivision. Do you have an idea as to why this is happening?

been loving these tutorials! for the pieces that have to tile as a continuous piece you can make them overlap on the edges for about 20 cm or so. if you import any 4m piece first zbrush will use that 4m segment to define its "unified space", so when you use wrap mode on 1, it'll wrap after 4 meters, 2 after 2 meters, etc. might find that useful :).

you can do that by using 2 uv channels, one for the overlapping trim stuff and one for a custom 0-1 set of uvs, and then combine the materials in engine through the shader. a lot of the time large meshes like rocks are done similar to this with a sculpted normal map and then a tiling detail normal map on uv2

The other panels all scaled and dropped into their proper positions as well. Thanks again.

Absolutely priceless!!!! Thank you SO MUCH for all this, Tim! One thing for all of you, who have metal channel (or metal strap as part of the trim sheet) - I've found the hard way, after many sleepless months, what was the problem with my metal not looking quite right inside UE4. If you untick sRGB from your texture settings for the OcclusionRoughnessMetalic texture, UE4 recognizes it as Linear Color. If you want to have a good looking metal, this is what you MUST do and of course, NOBODY is telling you this in ANY tutorial, let alone the awful official UE4 documentation: - connect the base color texture to the A input on a LERP node - connect a 3Vector color to the B input (you can check out some PBR metal values online, fx. R:1.000, G:0.766, B:0.336 for Gold) - connect the metal channel of your OcclusionRoughnessMetalic texture to the alpha input of that same Lerp node - connect the Lerp node into the material Base Color - connect the metal channel of your OcclusionRoughnessMetalic texture to the Metalness input of the material In this video, Tim has a different approach, he's using the OcclusionRoughnessMetalic texture as a Sampler Mask. I don't know if you need to go through these steps, but you definitely need to do it, if your texture's Sampler Type is Linear Color. Directly connecting the metal channel to the metalness material input has never worked for me properly.

Ive never had to do the lerp thing but definitley you need to set your texture group to mask if you are using a channel mask, nowdays it should untick srgb when you do that automatically and everything should look correct. Cant remember if i covered that in this tutorial or in part 4. Thanks for the in depth post!

i'm having issues importing the smart materials file. it downloads as one .rar file

You have to unpack the file with winrar, or any unzipping program that can handle .rar files to uncompress the files :)

Quick heads up, there's a preset low-poly for tiling textures included with SP, if you go to file and example content I believe? Saves a few seconds loading up that, nothing major but worth knowing :)
