Re: Krita Masterthread: 4.0 is out!
I still think a bug report could've gone a different way, as other developers could've looked at it (and they would have more stock to persuade the lead). It's part of the PNG specification to be able to set colors on fully transparent pixels, so all of that background should be colored as you want it, period. This… -
Re: Normal Maps: Can Somone Explain This "Black Edge" issue
r_fletch_r, and MoP, thanks a bunch for the responces. This morning, on my way into work, I had this finally click for me. The issue, in part, is the direction the rays are cast. When you are not using a cage the rays are controlled by the smoothing (angle of the vertex normals). This means if you have a hard edge at a 90… -
Re: Need help with creating a "No intersect scatter" FX-map/graph
I have to jump in here as well. As far as I'm concerned this is the last problem that needs to be solved in Substance Designer before it becomes the perfect program for creating procedural textures. There has to be a way to procedurally lay down some random brick patterns without having them overlap. There should be a… -
Re: Inconsistent lightmap?
I'm exporting from Blender to .FBX. I'm gonna have to check out the UVs of the original model but I don't think that's it, JamesWild. Remember that even if I import the straight wall twice the second one has this problem too, for some reason. EDIT: OK, I am *dead certain* the UVs of both objects are pixel-aligned and have… -
Re: Texturing a terrain
Unity terrain system uses a splat map for blending, not vertex color. Splat map is a RGBA texture, each channel controls one tiled texture (grass, or rock, or dirt, etc.). You could also use a splat map on your own mesh-based terrain. However you will need a custom shader to do this. Shader Forge is a great way to make… -
Re: Marmoset Toolbag 1.10 Official support thread
Hi guys, I seem to be having some problems with the size of the shadowmaps when I use spotlight shadows. The castshadows look very pixelated and I can't seem to find any other fix than to just set the light to a really small angle and duplicate it a few times. However when I look at the lighting tutorials marmoset provides… -
Re: Answered: High poly Workflow?
Ok so to resume, I have a huge ship model http://polycount.com/discussion/169587/spaceship-hardsurface-subdivision-polymodeling-learning-and-help#latest my objective is to find a proper way of texturing it and render , I am exploring solutions ranging from procedural to uvmapping , I actually uvmapped the whole ship but… -
Re: Common shadow setups for mobile games?
Hey @RyanB, ah thanks for the tip, that's actually very useful about the vertex lighting. I'll have to implement something similar. I can get pretty fast directional lighting by not normalising the normal per pixel, and not having specular, but who wants 4 or 5 directional lights? :D I would like something as you… -
Re: 3ds Max - Noise after Rendering
Using Vray you can go the easy way by setting the image sampler to progressive path-tracing, set time to unlimited, and getting out your guitar or making a cup of tea, and simply wait for the noise to clear.......... Or you can learn what's going on 'under the hood' by leaving the image sampler as adaptive and delving into… -
Re: Environment texture help
there is 2 kinds of "blending". - frame buffer blending: which is typically done for decals (if they are separate polys) any blended surfaces such as transparent, or additive particles... they all use the same formula: out = newcolor * a + oldcolor * b. a and b can be changed like "newcolor.alpha" or "newcolor.invalpha",…
