Re: I got my dream computer. Here's how that went bad for me
I believe most of us thought about monster PC at some point. Apparently, "more of everything" is not necessarily an improvement in a linear manner. -
MtoA Warning: [gpu] device 1 is out of range and other Errors
I'm on Maya 2022.1, and the MtoA Arnold Integration. I was working in the hypershade window and toggling between Arnold and the other rendering engines, and I got an error: // Warning: [gpu] device 1 is out of range // I did a google search to figure out what it means but there are no results with that specific error. I… -
Re: Baking AO trouble.
In that image the corners have a lighter strip, or highlight, as well. This is because the surface is beveled, the areas that are lighter face out at roughly a 45 degree angle while the larger planes are perpendicular - being at a 45 results in less occlusion. The larger you make the bevel, the less occluded, and thus… -
Re: Call of Duty 4 Demo anyone?
I don't mind games being linear either, but perhaps I didn't explain myself too well. For me there is linear and then there is, well, something else on another level entirely where everything is utterly and completely pre-determined. I can deal with linear. But when I've played through a scene a couple of times and I… -
Re: Tech Artist - What are you working on: FOREVER Edition!
that's very cool render! i used a cheap trick last time i worked on webcam tracking (color tracking) (not sure if it's applicable or you might come up with a better solution): - Taking the average position of the tracker in the (up to) last 10 frames. -- This smoothes out all jumping but it gives a slight lag (if you move… -
Re: Retopo with varying heights?
Typically, these kind of issues are not quite coming from retopology limitations or lack of features - instead, they tend to come from the assumption that one necessarily has to follow a linear process like : Polygon soup Zbrush model > Retopo > final ingame. There is a very, very small chance that the SoT artists worked… -
Re: What makes an Interesting Exploration game?
Just want to interject with this: an exploration based game does NOT have to be open-world. Journey is very much about exploration (and wonder about new places) but it is strongly linear. It does not have to be a purely spatial thing either, I think. Exploring different crafting possibilities in MineCraft, or alternate… -
Re: [Solved] How can I achieve consistency between Substance Designer and Quixel Mixer?
Bit depth is not the problem here. The problem is the colourspace in which quixel expects it's inputs to be encoded. it will at some point in the render pipeline apply a curve to bring the image into the correct colourspace for viewing Substance will by default export things exactly as you see them in the graph view Prior… -
Re: Physically accurate material values
sRGB isn't too hard, but most of the definitions are very technical.. because its a technical subject. Of course technical doesn't have to be dry and jargony, which is where they likely fall apart. The quick and dirty of it is: its an encoding scheme to make images look right on CRT monitors or old TVs. Its been around… -
Re: Xoliul's 3DS Max and Maya Viewport Shader
Gah, I've been testing it: Everything looks the same on my desktop (GTX280). Changing the explicit Filter definition only makes a difference if I set it to point. So essentially no definition, Linear and Anisotropic look the same. I guess they're all defaulting to linear. But that doesn't explain why the 1.3, which is…
