Re: MGS4 art making-of articles @ softimage.jp
Instead of a separate UV set, you could simply tile the detail map in the shader, so there isn't any vertex duplication caused by a 2nd UV set. This looks like what Crysis does. (clicky) I don't think there's any damage to the normals from stretched pixels, the final per-pixel normals are interpolated just like they always… -
Re: Unreal lightmass?
What if there was a robot sent from the future who's sole purpose was to UV map things? @ Malcolm - I have been guilty of the following in regards to semi-auto UVmapping: I get the mesh with properly UVmapped diffuse channel (with overlaps and shell stacking), dupe that UV channel, and scale UV's to mesh to make sure they… -

Maya API Help: Reading, Writing to TGA File
Hello, I'm writing a plugin in Maya 2018 that both reads and writes data to a TGA file. My plugin creates the TGA if it doesnt exist, otherwise it will read from and overwrite parts of the image. My problem is that consistently, when I read from the file, the first four pixels are always garbage data. so I lose those first… -

Historical Ceremonial Broadsword - Feedback Wanted
Hey polycount, I'd like some feedback on my most recent 3d work. I've created many swords over the past few years, but I think there are quite a few areas where I could improve. With that said, here's what I've got. By the way, this is intended to be viewed up-close, in first-person. Lowpoly: Sketchfab PBR:… -
Re: Why exactly is ray/path tracing so slow??
I've never written one and it's not my area so I'm to be taken with the largest grain of salt but I'll have a stab at this: There are many reasons but the main one is because they're doing a LOT of calculations. It depends on the renderer but when you set your sample rate you're essentially subdividing pixels. E.g. 4… -
Re: Question about Diffuse map
in max / simple Cg world: diffuse is surface with normal at maximum 90° to the light. beyond that (backfacing light) is ambient. so in opengl or whatever you will find two color values you can tweak for light and material: diffuse/ambient. which will be picked based on normal/light relationship. however as normally those…
