How do I save an image to the alpha channel of another image in blender?
In photoshop, I'd have to open it up and then copy paste the map into the alpha channel by hand. I don't wanna do this a hundred different times by hand.

If I generate a roughness map, how do I save it to the alpha channel of another image texture that I already have INSIDE blender?

Things kept being misaligned and I needed new sections I hadn't thought of that required it. I also needed partial versions of other tiles to interface with the edges of hand made rooms

it's just maya's auto mapping which just projects faces from 6 cardinal directions and lays them out. They are not optimized, but for architecture they accidentally make adequate UVs.
Similarly for characters I use zBrush's UVMaster and also just accept the results. Ive done enough "real" UV mapping to not want to do it anymore.

>What does Triplanar node groups mean?
I just mean to find a node group online that handles triplanar mapping, so you can just plug things in. It doesn't have to be a node group, just grouping a bunch of nodes makes things a bit cleaner.
https://blenderartists.org/t/triplanar-node-blender-2-81/1206622/22?
Something like this.

>If I use UV mapping it looks stretched out and terrible :L
Sounds like you're unwrapping it wrong.
You shouldn't have any issues if it's done correctly. In fact, I'd rec commend using UVs especially if you're making things that snap together so you can precisely control where the seams are on different objects to make them look seamless. You'd change the amount of stripes by adjusting the scale of the waves texture, just like before.

>> No.947160

>>947156
Ok I get it anon. I have two questions.
The part where the UV islands go out of the UV space that's fine when you're procedurally texturing stuff because it sort of tiles after 0-1 space. But when I want to bake the maps I have to scale them down or resize them to fit in the 0-1 space, yes?
Second question, is it worth getting substance painter/designer over blender's procedural node editor? Is substance designer a lot more tedious than blender's node editor or is stuff like this resolved easier in substance designer?

my father has been a narcissist wifebeater for my whole life. For whatever reason he doest beat my mom physcially anymore, im 30, they are 60. But there were plenty of instamces growing up where i have been cowering in horror as my moms head is bleeding all over the kitchen over some meaningless bullshit. She is a shell of a human.

I have never been able to have a good relationship with him. Anytime we spend more than 10minutes with eachother i cannot handle the way he is and end up exploding. Then i am the "crazy one". How am i supposed to not explode at this fucking asshole when he is constantly exhibiting some of the mlst disgusting interpersonal behavior such as...
> never taking accountability for anything
> constantly abuses my mom (shes just a fucking slave
>"get me this" "do this" "WTF you did it wrong! "WTF you didnt do it exactly the way I wanted!" "NO I wanted the other thing not this, moron!
>while he sits on his ass and barks orders
>constantly disagrees with anyhting anyone tells him
>he is always "right"
>Always acting entitled in public situations, thinks he deserves special treatment from staff in restuarants and stores, making scenes because he is right and they are wrong
>always making sick little jokes about peoples insecurities or weaknesses

I just cant fucking deal with this guy. The only solution i have found that works is cutting him out of my life. Then after a few weeks i try to reconnect and make things better, and it always devolves into shit... i fucking hate this cycle.. I just want to get along with him because "hes my dad" but it just seems impossible....

Wtf am i supposed to do....

do you think a gamedev has to learn 3d modeling and art to the same degree a "real artist" has to?
the difference is that an artist has to work for customers and always focus on doing one task as good as possible, whereas a gamedev just has to make models good enough for their own game and then call it a day. also a gamedev doesn't need to reach a quality level for movies.
that being said, what's the bare minimum an gamedev should learn/master to have a comfortable workflow to make assets? and what should a gamedev ignore to save time and get more stuff done?
if we all had infinite time i wouldn't ask this question, but since i want to get a game done in my lifetime i seriously need a plan how to approach asset creation in a realistic way. i dont want to shortcut my way through everything, but i also dont know what boundaries i should enforce on myself to focus on getting assets done.
also i what's a good way to approach buying or downloading free assets? should i use premade assets whenever possible or does using too many assets mean too much risk regarding sloppy licensing/copyright terms?
also should i learn anatomy and stuff in depth or should i focus on just using other peoples models as references and work around that and not bother too much about understand all the details?

well, tldr: what shortcuts can i take and what shortcuts will bite me in the back?

ofc there's no definite answer to this, but maybe someone has some experience doing lots of art for their own game!?

I have reached the point where, as a solodev, I have come to accept the fact that I must make everything. I cannot even use the animation packages, textures or models of other people, as they won't fit with the rest of my work or each other.

Damn, that's kinda disappointing. I clicked on this thread thinking there would be a discussion going on about a topic I had some interest in, but it's just a schizo crab and you feeding him.
Look at all of the indie games that have already succeeded despite having "bad graphics" or genuinely low-quality art. If you can do better than that, which isn't as hard as you might think it is, your game can succeed if it's fun enough and you actually know how to market your game on social media.
You would be a lot better off asking this question in /agdg/ since there are people there who actually have experience with gamedev and aren't going to tell you that everything you make is going to look like shit unless you use all the right programs and follow all the right courses. The people on this board have the same taste in 3dcg as a kid who played a video game for the first time in 2014 and won't accept anything less than AAA quality.

OP, if you're serious about making a game, you might want to stick to making either a PS1 style game or a low-end PS2 style game. There is no way in hell are you making a PS3/PS4 level game. In case you aren't aware, development teams got bigger. There's no way you can do the work of 50+ men- which is why I suggest sticking to PS1/PS2 style game.

most archviz boils down to arranging pre-made assets into very simple boxes (the way that little girls play with furniture in doll houses) and for some reason long ago everyone decided they were going to use max to do this.
it's basically not viable to use maya or any render engine other than vray or corona because of this reason.
