Re: Substance Designer Metal/Roughness to Spec/Gloss Converter
It all depends on what your target shader is going to do. Typically metal/roughness PBR uses GGX kind of highlight shaping and calculates shape and intensity of highlight spot + fresnel styled environment reflection on its own. Nothing prevents you from doing same manually having same GGX highlight shaping and proper… -
Re: The wonders of technical art (Unreal Engine)
@demigodssw - Hi. That really depends on your goals, but the way I use it in my projects, yes, it completely replaces it. Generally speaking, the more rtx features you enable, the more expensive it becomes. I usually enable all the features I could ray trace in my personal projects, so its usually reflections, shadows and… -
Re: Retopology for games
When you say retopologize, I think you mean modeling? Retopo implies that you have a mesh that isn't ready to go into a game engine, usually you have a high poly-ish version that needs to be optimized and needs to deform well. Really all you are doing when you retop is modeling over the top of an existing mesh. So there… -
Re: Can´t repair Smoothing Groups

Re: cynics

Re: Converting a Word doc to Html... any good editors?
P has margins I always have to change when I use it, and I've had lots of funky bahavior with them in different browsers when I change them. I don't recall if div has any, but neither p nor div can be used 'in line'. I'm no pro or anything either though, usually my CSS projects are reitterations of my own webpages or such.… -
Re: [UE4][WIP] Chinese Courtyard
Thanks! I got a first pass on the roof foliage and the tiles on the ground actually. ;p Foliage always causes me headaches too. In prod because they are expensive as hell with the overdraw, on personal work because I am no vegetation artist and it's not something that follows the usual workflow. I usually end up cheating… -
