Re: Carmack leaves Id
I'm surprised he stayed as long as he did. Once the market moved to hardware that updates once every decade there wasn't much room for someone like him. Carmack is a guy that likes to set up new things and invent. The limits of the industry only let him do that once every 5-6-7 years. The PS4 and XB3 just caught up to the… -
Re: Google+ Hangouts
Wonder if screenshare will be included in that.. https://plus.google.com/u/0/+VicGundotra/posts/XY9GGhBCPKP And not sure most people (in the UK especially) will have the upload speed to cope with it anyway -
Re: i need some guidance
yep, i reset the xform, and i 0-ed the xyz coordonates for the pivot -
Re: Maya - Vertex Positions and exact Movement
if all you want is exact vertex locations, try the component editor, it's in the window menu under general editors. The polygons tab shows the xyz, the normal vector and the color of all selected verts. there is the mentioned measure, tool, instead of snapping it, you know you can just type in exact coordinators for it;s… -
Re: Normal map to vertex normals?
Aha, so via the Paint Vertex Color Tool, we can apply a texture map as vertex colors, which can then be queried with "polyColorPerVertex -q -r -g -b", and written as normals via "polyNormalPerVertex -xyz". I'll try to write a script to write the colors to normals in the morning. -
Re: ZBrush - Displcament Map information on model?
I'm only gonna rough this in: 1. Build up a very (!!) basic mesh in 3ds and export it to zbrush as an .obj 2. After loading up your model in zbrush go to Tool-Geometry-Divide and add some more polys 3. Start sculpting and further dividing as you wish until you're satisfied 4. Now switch back to Subdivision level 1 (Hit… -
Re: B.U.R.N Dev! All systems go!!
So outside of the hours spent today geo-referencing a *.xyz terrain file and it's corresponding color map (and fixing projections...) I ran a test using what we will be using for in-game graphics, and with my hardware and GUI running 3 animated stat-bars (no radar map yet), it was a steady 28fps. I am very happy because I… -
Re: Ocean, again :)
or use a sphere mask, with a vector3 paramater with the xyz coords of the ship, and use its output as a mask for the foam around ships. -
Re: Crash Bandicoot N.Sanity Beach
AzzaMat, I'm not sure what you're talking about with the gradient thing, but I'm intrigued to know what you mean. As for rocks, from just that image, it looks like your doing it all in zBursh? Sculpting and painting? I'm guessing you retopo as well, not sure if there might be problems there, but it might be that you need… -
Re: ZBrush 4
It always defaulted to XYZ. And the option to change it to y axis orbiting is in the shelf to the right of the document window, same place as the last version.
