Re: [SOLVED] ShaderFX - Stingray Viewport PBS Not Rendering Correctly
Substance doesn't mip so that may contribute, also the brdf is completely different from what's used in stingray and tends to be more contrasty. What I saw looked about as close as I think you'll get without building a Shader of your own. I'd publish mine but I built it at work so I wouldn't be allowed. It's a gross… -
Re: Vanishing of Ethan Carter
It's fine that a game is short and focuses on the story. I can understand that. What is not fine is making it so that you can't change anything or do anything worthwhile. In those games there's no puzzle to solve, no people to talk to, there's no substance outside of a linear story. In Ethan Carter you can't even interact… -
Re: [Riot Art Contest] - Travis Henderson
Reply by Sirhaian · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Riot Art Contest› Riot Art Contest - VFXReally nice already! :) Maybe it'd be nice if they'd rotate a bit on themselves before touching the ground. And also playing with the curves, so that they'd be faster on the beginning of the movement, then slower right before hitting the ground. Don't know if it makes any sense. xp For now, it's a bit too linear. :) Maybe… -
Re: zbrush exporting displacement problem
Thank You for your time and help! Yep it looks like export from zb is ok, I use same setup :) . The texmap min/max value solved the problem! Nice explanatory tut! I am used to use displacement texture in material not as modifier. I tried editing the range for exr in output parameters of bitmap map, but it is not working. I… -
Re: Normal map compression and channel packing
I found this while looking for something else, while you might have solved this already I'd like to contribute: If you're channel packing your normal map, make sure that texture is stored as linear and that after sampling and before deriving the Blue channel, bring that from 0 to 1 range to -1 to 1. That means, append… -
Re: Final Fantasy XII
I'm probably going to have to take back my statement that this is the best FF ever. The end-game really fell flat for me. It killed the experience. Basically, I was being a total completist when it came to side quests, and was really enjoying myself and looking forward to finishing the game. But it turns out there is this… -
Re: Answered: Question regarding color space of textures
"Best result" seems subjective. Have you tested the textures in numerous lighting conditions and/or outside of Unreal to verify it's a gamma issue? The only reason you set grayscale textures, or anything used for math, to Linear is to tell the editor to not apply a gamma correction to put it into linear but instead use as… -
Re: UDK SciFi Mining Base Level Design
The problem is in how you laid out this place in the first place. Your landscape design screams linear path. If you are going to keep this design, then the best way to make this less linear is to add in height variation and make the path go through, say, a large building that goes up and has open areas and tight areas.… -
Re: How do you uv map with multiple textures in a sheet?
I don't think you can do that unless you set your texture sampling to Nearest as opposed to Linear, but the problem with that is your texture ends up looking very blocky, and you can only really use 512px textures at most, since 1K textures will resample, even in Nearest back to smudgy Linear. Ofcourse, this pends on the… -
Re: Building a Game - Pirate/Lost Civilization Adventure
Very impressive work! My favorite section is the ruins temple environment, for sure. Very nice lighting and ambiance to it. The beach looks nice but if you're really going for "playable game level" it lacks any visual landmarks a player could use to navigate the area. Putting a couple of large-ish statues here and there…
