Re: I'm tired of 3d modeling and everything that goes with it.
make your own game. The people in charge aren't game developers, they're marketing and MBA. Treat the studios you've applied to as your competitors. Our industry is in turmoil, so use that to your advantage and strike when the iron's still hot. Maybe you can get in touch with Klean, he's a streamer who's making his own… -
Re: Answered: High poly Workflow?
Ok so to resume, I have a huge ship model http://polycount.com/discussion/169587/spaceship-hardsurface-subdivision-polymodeling-learning-and-help#latest my objective is to find a proper way of texturing it and render , I am exploring solutions ranging from procedural to uvmapping , I actually uvmapped the whole ship but… -
Re: How to get Texel Density in a shader in realtime?
I've seen this done in engine l. it was basically like klunk describes but we were generating textures and using material overrides for the viewmode rather than encoding anything into the mesh(cos that gets used for other stuff) Imo it's a bit of a waste of time. You can't use the GPU to get a good representation and it's… -
Re: Common shadow setups for mobile games?
Hey @RyanB, ah thanks for the tip, that's actually very useful about the vertex lighting. I'll have to implement something similar. I can get pretty fast directional lighting by not normalising the normal per pixel, and not having specular, but who wants 4 or 5 directional lights? :D I would like something as you… -
Re: 3ds Max - Noise after Rendering
Using Vray you can go the easy way by setting the image sampler to progressive path-tracing, set time to unlimited, and getting out your guitar or making a cup of tea, and simply wait for the noise to clear.......... Or you can learn what's going on 'under the hood' by leaving the image sampler as adaptive and delving into… -
Re: Environment texture help
there is 2 kinds of "blending". - frame buffer blending: which is typically done for decals (if they are separate polys) any blended surfaces such as transparent, or additive particles... they all use the same formula: out = newcolor * a + oldcolor * b. a and b can be changed like "newcolor.alpha" or "newcolor.invalpha",… -
Re: Hair; Female Hair.
And this is why we have bald space marines... Yea sorting can be a bitch even in offline rendering it takes forever to sort all that out and render shadows accurately. Most render'ers take the geometry into account, not what is painted in the transparency map, until you force certain settings, then it takes even longer.… -
Re: How to avoid "separated" or "black" edges on model using a heightmap?
Just get rid of split/hard edges . make everything smooth shaded and check if displacement works without seams in Blender itself first with displace modifier. A game engine splits the mesh along UV seams anyway but theoretically it should work ok if both vertexes on the edge have same normal . it also may depend on the… -
Re: Jeremy Klein's - DOTA 2 Workshop Thread
yeah. mostly. I kinda have a habit of straightening out the UVs where my seams are, in my brain i think it makes it easier to paint out the seams, sometimes ill even match up each seam vert along the U or V, so like the welded verts have the same position along the U or V, depending on the seam (if that makes sense, kinda… -
Re: Blender 2.6 Modeling Tools. What's missing and what do you want?
Yea, its automatically set to snap to verts :/ You can view all the UV's from selected objects by going into the UV/Image editor> View> Draw Other Objects. I don't think it's possible to edit multiple UVs from separate objects though :( The "Follow active quads" unwrap option might be close to what you are looking for.…
