Re: IN PROGRESS: Quixel and Frostbite Engine
That B channel doesn't look like a metallic mask to me. Frostbite takes as input base color, metallic, AO, and a specular tweak map that can suppress Fresnel reflections below .25 linear and maps to semiconductor base reflectivity above .8 linear or so. To me it looks like R for the specular texture is metallic, G is the… -
Re: Lightmaps: tech pros and cons
Hi ! thread necro ^^ So mmh what about linear workflow and lightmaps ? I baked my lightmap (vray) in gamma 1 and applied a 2.2 gamma correction in max with xoliul's shader, but i get horrible banding. It's logical as i re-expose an 8 bit file, but still, i thought it would look better with a bit of shader magic. How is it… -
Custom Color Grading Shader: Help
Hey guys, i've been struggling over the past couple of hours to create a custom color grading shader that I can inject into my post processing chain as a material effect. For reference, this is what i'm trying to accomplish: http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/ColorGrading.html Now many of you are going to ask me why i dont use… -
Re: TurboSmooth and UV Problem. Road block!
There are a couple things you can try. I assume that you are using 3ds Max. -Turbosmooth Pro plugin by Marius Silaghi, has a Linear UVs switch but also has a better smoothing algorithm (I think) = http://www.mariussilaghi.com/products/turbosmooth-pro -Select all edges of UV & split them in Unwrap Modifier = This will… -
Re: What are your favorite video game features ?
Characters. You know this is a given considering the foundation of this place is to get away from being the baldy grunt, though not much change when the real attraction was the baldy <annoyed grunt>... Non-linearity. We've all seen the Doom E1M4 vs. Modern Warfare 2 picture. Arsenal of Tools. Rarely seen nowadays, but was… -
Re: modeling and rigging (some nudety) wip
[ QUOTE ] He's not using Catmull Clark JK. 'Linear' smoothing in Maya is using a totally different algorithm which sort of simply doubles the amount of geometry you have. Messy. [/ QUOTE ] Sorry misunderstanding, I ment Catmull Clark is what he *should* be using (I am not used to the Maya terminology of linear and… -
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: Fallout 3
Why, did you do those? :) I really like the look of the Brahmins actually (model/textures) but it's really let down by the animation, which is quite terrible, unfortunately. If you stand and look at the Brahmin down in the center of Megaton, its idle cycle looks like the keyframes have linear in/out tangents, which is… -
Does anyone know why ACES in Substance look so contrast and over-saturated ?
While in any offline render it's subtle . I load ACES 1.1 config.ocio in Blender, set all materials to use utility- sRGB texture , HDRI background to linear sRGB and see nothing especially contrast or darker in midtones. It tame down overexposed areas as expected but nothing drastic otherwise . While our render looks… -
