![]() ![]() In the same material, create an Image Texture node and create a new image. In my case, I'm going to use a HDRi image. If you want other objects to show, render an equirectangular panorama at the location of the reflective object and use that as your environment texture instead. This will emulate reflections with an environment texture, other objects in the scene will no show. Connect Reflection to Vector, Colour to Colour then finally Emission to Surface. Make a Material with a Texture Coordinate, Environment Texture and Emission Node. I highly recommend not doing this, but hey, it's not illegal. I've just gotten Cheetah3D, and learned that Unity can read its native file format (.jas) directly, which is awesome.Warning : Baked reflections will not give the result you may expect. I have a nice ragdoll model that I bought from Turbosquid, and it has a great plaid texture map that appears just fine in Cheetah3d. jas format) in one of my Unity project folders, and examine it in Unity, it has just the smooth gray look (no texture). When I twist open the model file in Unity, I see the Mesh and Avatar created (as I understand it) by the Unity importer, plus two other objects, which correspond to objects I see in Cheetah3D: one "mesh" (which is what I named the geometry), and one "root" (the root node of the rigging). When I select the geometry "mesh" in Unity, there is a material component called SKINDOLL attached. If I could figure out how to export textures from Cheetah3D (which has so far also stumped me), I'm sure I could just load that into my Unity project as a separate file, and hook it all up within Unity. But I'd much prefer to just use the texture which must be inside that. jas file, and have one less file to get lost or out of sync. I specifically chose Cheetah for modelling because I thought it was easy to import objects into Unity. this has turned out to not quite be the case. Here is my object as rendered in Cheetah. The textures are all set.įirst things first I had to combine all the objects into one mesh, using Import Children. I dragged all the objects under the main Tank cylinder just like it was a group. I also had to make the polygonal objects editable to collapse their meshes from Subdivisions, etc. Otherwise the rounded edges would be lost. The Import Children command copied all the objects on top of one another but with none of their materials (this is okay). I selected Bake Texture from the Render menu and clicked "Baking UV Coords" in the left menu that popped up. After clicking the Bake icon (the oven, next to Render) I waited twenty minutes and got this. I cleaned up my model, so that it was just the single tank mesh and imported it into Unity. The auto-importing materials did not work as I was expecting to use the baked mesh texture I had created and saved to a png file. ![]() But no matter what I do, when I try to import this png as a texture or a material or click and drag it onto the mesh or whatever, I get this. It has to be something stupid I am not doing. It has nothing to do with 'repeat' or 'clamp' in the texture import because I am doing that and still no dice.Ĭan anyone help with this ridiculously simple problem? I am 90% sure it's something in Unity as Cheetah is baking and exporting the textures just fine. I did it once with a cube and it worked but I am not entirely sure what I did to make it work that was any different than this situation. Just a more complicated mesh.I do not use procreate myself, but my wife does. She somewhat was underwhelmed from the 3d painting abilities (which may have it's cause in the simple fact that she uses an older ipad pro. It's probably a whole other experience with an m1 ipad pro). Do not get me wrong, procreate is an excellent, outstanding app for digital painting. Sooner or later that function will be on the same level. TEXTURE PAINT CHEETAH3D FULLīut as yet you can't produce a full pbr material (no normal map for example) and it misses a whole other bunch of possibilities. And as I said, my wife didn't have a good experience with it. Adobe officially announced that already a while ago. Substance painter is somewhat the absolute gold standard for 3d painting. Nothing else compares in quality except Mari. That one exists as a free version strictly for non-commercial use. ![]()
