Specularity on Metals, primary and secondary smoothness

Christopher Tyler Aug, 30th 2015 0 Comments
This texturing tutorial shows how to use the Primary Mix Ratio to use two specular components on metallic surfaces. This allows materials with no diffuse component to interact with direct light sources.

Merging UVs from a primitive into an existing polygon mesh

Christopher Tyler Aug, 17th 2015 0 Comments
This UV mapping tutorial shows how to merge a 2D Polygon primitive, with its pre-defined UV coordinates, with another polygon mesh and sync up the UVs from both. It also shows how to retain the existing UVs after a few modeling operations are done, using point pinning and the Conform function.
