Re: Shader - Simple Atmospheric Scattering - Any Helpsies?
Are you doing this for a space-perspective planet shader? Or a planetary surface-level effect? From the wording of your first post, I'd guess at surface-level. In which case, for something simple that you're going for, I'd imagine dotting the light vector against the horizon vector would be the bulk of it? The horizon… -
Re: Which color theme?
Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I really appreciate it. It looks like there is a general leaning towards the top left or bottom left, with a few who like the top right. Thanks for the BW contrast pic, Deforges. I didn't realize how much the filters can affect the contrast in various parts of the shot. In the first image… -
Re: helpneeded.. maxscript question (uv)
why do you need them with that names?- imo. you could simply use an array for that like this: myobject = #();for i = 1 to 24 do ( local b = myobject[i] = box height:50 width:10;--shortcut to the box, to the array content b.pos = (10,10,20);)--later on to read them out or modifiy them....for i = 1 to myobject.count do… -

What I mean in a more direct description is . imagine a blue map . a lookup table of blue , violet , red , orange , yellow and white . When I pass my brush round over… -
Paragalis_Shader_Demo for 3dsmax viewport
The primary purpose of this shader demo is to display advanced shaders' performance in 3dsmax viewport and hope that those realtime techniques are put into use by more and more 3dsmax users. Features: - Post effect - 3dsmax2008/2009 viewport shadow - Subsurface scattering - Cubemap Image based lighting - Diffuse(alpha… -
Maya CgFx - 3dsMax Fx transition issues
while porting Brice's BRDF shader, I made some notes on the differences of each, so when the job needs to be done again, it would mean less work. ///////////////////////////// GUI / Texture Init// CgFx Maya:// -------------float4 LightPos : Position < string UIName = "LightPosition"; string Object = "PointLight"; //string… -
Re: Baked Vs unbaked animation
* filesize (one vertex snapshot per keyframe) * needs a look up table to calculate the interpolation or tween between the keyframes * On big meshes in can be very CPU intense * No unique animations, at some point you might see a pattern to the animations. advantages I found:* lets you cache centroids, normals and other… -
Re: Physically based rendering in games
Sort of. Image based lighting in games is generally composed of two cubemaps, one for the diffuse lighting, and one for the specular reflections. If you've got a good IBL system, you can control glossiness by saving various specular cubemaps with different levels of blur and then blending between them for the matte through… -

Re: Half life episode 3?
To be real about all of this. I would much rather see Valve go the direction Crytek has been going with their engine tech. "Real-Time". The idea of exporting any asset from you're primary application and having the need to write a .qc script file to compile that model and texture is really rediculous. I use Source at my…
