Photorealistic characters

[anthony.liot2]

Hi,

 

I have a 3D model generate by Eisko, I will be able to load it and apply some texture but I cannot obtains a really realistic models.

 

I apply the classical textures :

 

1 ) Head Diffuse

2 ) Head Normal

3 ) Head Specular

 

But I have other textures :

 

4 ) Head Gloss 

5 ) Head Hair Mask

6 ) Head Ambient Occlusion

7 ) Head Roughness

8 ) Head Thickness

9 ) Head Displacement

 

Can I have some help about how I can apply all this textures to my model with Unigine ? Must I need to respect some format, all the images are in RGBA8. It's possible to download the data sample I use here : http://www.eisko.com/

 

Thanks

You need to write custom shader to use all of these maps. And it is not only about maps, but how to work with them. It is available for Unity:

For Unigine I am afraid you have to do it by yourself, there is no realistic skin shader. I would recommend to check Unity version and reimplement for Unigine (I have no idea how much work it can be).

 

BTW Unigine is preparing new PBR shaders (it should be available following release), so it would make sense to write your new shader based on these shaders.

Hi,

 

Yes, demostenes is absolutely correct about skin shader.

 

Right now we are in the middle of the new SDK update (which will include the PBR shaders example). Our technical artists will try to prepare this model next week (with a help of PBR system, but I'm afraid without skin shader at this time). Is it OK?

 

Thanks!

Speaking about skin shader, to have something next-gen out of box would be indeed very handy, there is some inspiration:

The gray shadow/reflection on the eyeballs is painted into the color texture, isnt it?

Or is it occlusion/shadowmapping?

It's baked occlusion.

looking forward to the new pbr materials, and better come with a next gen skin shader ：）

any ETA?

Hi Phil,

 

We plan to release SDK very soon (this week, or next one).
