I've simplified the concept because I don't understand the code at a super low level. It's still the same object during the whole process. Polygon models have indices of verts, edges, faces and so on, each component has an ID number and a value (and secondary values, like vertex color or skin weights). The history nodes…
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. I tried that unfortunately, UDK has a example custom node which has a UV and Sampler slots in it's Compendium webpage. http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/MaterialsCompendium.html#CustomTexture Problem is, you need to use a Custom node for the textures to get it to work, and the output for some…
Yeah, evolution does happen. Still Substance Designer imo is an example of what could be perfectly artist friendly with just a little bit more conveniences here and there and less "program everything on your own" concept. Convenient 2d transform gizmo like in Photoshop with ability to scale precisely around chosen screen…
I'm working on a "remaster" of an old-school dungeon crawler called "Dragon Bane 2" as a personal/indie project. It's a dungeon crawler, with 3D grid-based movement and 2D turn-based party combat and inventory systems. The project needs a 2D freelance artist willing to work against a backlog of tickets to polish and extend…
Code syntax coloring has been added. Use the Format dropdown to make a Code block, then paste your code into it. Code block features: * Colored syntax. * Line numbers. * Row shading. * Horizontal scroll if a line is really long. * Sorry no vertical scroll, wishlist item.
Substance Designer and Painter don't have anything to imagine height from regular image . Sampler does but it does it so awful it's almost an advertising gimmick IMO, very blurry unspecific height often totally wrong. The only thing Sampler good is de-lighting ambient shadows . What would really be helpful is image…
SOLUTION Ok! I found the real cause of the problem. The real cause is that Designer is exporting the Textures out at 16bit. Even if you set the Output Format to 8 Bits per Chanel it gives not a flying cluck. The real solution is annoying still a pretty hacky fix, but it works none the less. The solution is to put a node in…
Did you consider using any node-based shader authoring environments? I find it easier to work with, especially at first. Then after you're used to authoring with nodes its easier to transition to writing code. I'm a Maya user and later versions of Maya have the ShaderFX system which lets you create real-time shaders down…
Instead of solid mode with phong shading - I'd preview whatever 'lighting' artifact you think may have occurred in either lookdev/material or cycles viewport lit with a basic 3 point setup which would enable people too offer more effective feedback, if applicable?
Just started using Shaderforge and Ikari Vertex Painter in Unity. So far the results are awesome, I've never done much shader work before and vertex painting/blending is a lot of fun. Node tree is standard: - 3 Texture inputs, 3 lerps and Vertex Color node - exactly the same thing for normals Note: im only using 2 textures…
