Re: How are these mixer textures generated?
you could generate this with code
or you could simply composite images.
either way, the result will depend entirely on how you combine your gradients/distancefields/however you choose to think of it
here is an example in substance designer. the maths translate 1:1 to any shading language and can be easily ported to code.
The simplest case is to add the two images and then multiply the result by your "shape" (polygon2/input0 in the attached image) - This relies on values outside of 0:1 in order to work so you must set your graph to work with HDR/float data in substance
if you work with cpu code make sure you're working with float data rather than 0-255 and it'll work
if you're doing it in shader code it'll just work.
There are many ways to composite the images, this example is as simple as it gets while still guaranteeing that the values in your "shape" image are respected (if you put 1.0 or 0.0 in your shape image, it will remain the same value in the output)

Re: Nuclear Bunker Office Environment Art (WIP)
Looking great so far! It would be nice to see your mood board, the collection of key references you're using.

Re: Weird bug uploading certain images?
No, iam717 just likes using colored text.
One of the best GIF (and video) makers I've found: Screen2GIF. You can also use iot to make mp4, webm, apng, etc.

Re: Do you think polycount a dying platform?
I would not say dying. Just changing (evolving). As mentioned people gravitate towards Discord and that sucks. Info just goes into a black hole that can't be searched.
As for me, my lifestyle has changed a lot. Back in the day I was pretty active because I only had me to worry about. Come home, play games and make stuff, learn stuff and post on PolyCount and GameArtisans. Now I have wife, house, kids and other responsibilities. I just don't poke my head in as much.
Also as mentioned, it's up to us to keep it active and in turn that brings the boys/girls to the yard.

Re: Do you think polycount a dying platform?
I don't post often because frankly, I don't feel knowledgeable enough to bring something of value to most of the conversations. But I quite enjoy the forum being slow- I can actually keep up with what is being said, also people are generally more agreable here than on discord.
This forum is one of the only place where I got proper feedbacks. Bigger, 'thriving' places, my shit get glossed over. As one of the die-hard juniors, this place is a goldmine, even when the older folks tends to be fatalists.

Re: Do you think polycount a dying platform?
Frequently, if I spend a decent chunk of time giving feedback in the 3D Showcase, I get no response back. Makes it so I don't really leave a lot of feedback on the forums like I use to. I still enjoy perusing the art though. I still check the rest of the forums here and there to see what you crazy kids are chatting about these days.
TBH I kind of like smaller communities. Everyone who posts here, I recognize them. Its sort of comforting. You're all like my dysfunctional family who gets to tell me why my art is bad.
