Use your buffer visualization mode to check specular/roughness differences, check it under different lighting conditions (ie: when the sun is behind the grass, does it get darker than the landscape?). This is sort of to be expected, though; grass cards are generally perpendicular to the landscape so they will receive light…
Some might remember some of my low res planes from ages ago. This is what they are for. A relatively slow-moving project (though totally noncommercial, and in fact the first openGL project the programmer has ever done... and second game he's ever worked on, so from my perspective, a pretty good achievement) which is…
CS is practically all coding haha. Once you go further in there'll be classes that focus more on things like logic rather than actually writing code but if you do CS, expect to write a lot of code. If you can get a very strong understanding of CS111 and Data Structures though, you'll be set. I even know a bunch of people…
My guess your issue is with 2d patterns like procedural brick texture because 3d noises look same from any view directions. For 2d patterns a common way is to use so called tri-planar projection. Blender doesn't have it by default but it's either possible to find on blenderartist.org or do it on your own: You make 3…
This has to to with the indexing of the curve. It seem every part is indexed separately but this is not relayed onto the Index node ( only one dimension 0..n an not somethign like (1..p, 1..n) ~~ (Part , PartIndex) ) so on splitting teh curve the index "restarts" of some kind but then it is not correctly interpreted…
this is cycles, and the texture is just a simple white (the default color of the the diffuse node). Sorry i forgot to say this, but everything is at a default value, that's why this bothers me. Lights are not baked. The only light comes from an emissive shader that's part of the lamp.
don't get too hung up on 'junior' as a grade - different studios use different words and have different criteria for reaching different grades. If the pay fits and you like the sound of a job, take it WRT tech-art Specialising in anything is probably unwise at a junior-ish level. It's not the same as being a junior artist…
You need the second texture coordinate to tell the shader that you want the radial gradient to be projected that way. The radial gradient is used to tell the shader that you want the transition to be spreading outwards from the center. Also, you can't "play" the transition yet. You need a matinee for that, or it has to be…
Hmm I am having some trouble setting up your idea. Basically, what I want to do is this (written in pseudo code): This also helps fixing the problem i mentioned in the other post. oldPosition = vector3(0,0,0)newPosition = vector3(0,0,0)ashes = 1.0burnAmount = the curve that defines how much of the cigarette that has…
My guess is it comes down to your texture settings, because the shader mostly looks fine. If you select your normal map texture, it's most likely got its Texture Type set to Normal Map. Which seems sensible, except that there are no options in there that allow for an explicit alpha channel. So what you'll want to do is set…
