I'm currently working on a "how-to program 3D games" book. The first section of the revision can currently be found out http://www.Javin-Inc.com/TV65/Tutorial.rar Feel free to review the book (first section, anyway.) The second section of the book is due to be completed, but I need an artist to create models. I could grab…
So Im looking for a shader editor that supports Shader Model 4 specifically for this command "lt" http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/hh447181(v=vs.85).aspx Unfortunately I dont have access to Visual Studio, and am not keen on using it anyway.

Hello everyone I'm a student programmer and kind of new to modeling. Well I have played with 3d software for quite some time but never really got myself into doing some real modeling. I joined this forum in order to interact with other artists and learn a thing or two. I'm mainly interested in the japanese style of…
I'm not complaining, but I'm wondering why this is. I test baked two meshes in Max and am viewing them in UDK. One mesh has mirrored uvs and a copy that has no mirrored uvs. They look the exact same. If this is the case I'd obviously want to keep mirroring when possible. I'm in the process of matching texel density of my…
I've put together a training DVD on creating textures using only procedural materials in Max.
