Today we have added Glossiness maps to all our textures. Some people requested that they didn’t want the extra step of inverting a roughness texture, so we decided to just throw it in. We recommend using invert nodes using engines such as octane if you want to use both roughness and gloss maps as it means less texture memory in RAM. Happy rendering Folks!
Our Surface Imperfections vary in resolution depending on what we are capturing. Most maps will be between 4K and 3.5K, but none should be under 2K - allowing for maximum quality as captured within the real world.
We currently have two types of imperfection maps, Still (Imperfections) and Video (Motion Imperfections). Our Motion Imperfections are captured at 8K using a RED V-RAPTOR Camera.
We provide a 120fps processed MOV & Standard speed processed in PNG Sequences, HQ MP4 and MP4. If they are too slow feel free to speed them up using the 120fps footage.
Most VDB Volumes are Low to Medium Resolution, meaning they are designed for Mid to Wide shots.
This is to allow all users of GPU Renderers to add volumes into their scenes. Also it helps keep the file size down.
VDB Volumes labeled [L] are our legacy volumes (Early Volume Creations) (Wide Shots)
VDB Volumes labeled [SQ] are resolution designed for wide shots (Wide-Mid)
VDB Volumes labeled [MQ] are the optimal resolution for file size or asset type (Mid)
VDB Volumes labeled [HQ] are 2-3x the resolution of non-HQ files (Mid to Close)
VDB Volumes labeled [HQ2] require a single GPU with more than 11GB VRAM (Close up)
