Hello :smile: Have a problem :( First I start a new NDO-Project. Then I import my mesh and the baked Normal Map (from my High-Poly-Model). When the project is created then, I create a multi normal layer. Then I press the button at "NDO Painter Mode". Then 3DO opens itself. Don't know why but I have no painting mode. Just…
Working on a new version of an environment I have previously made, now I'm better at this kind of thing. Inspiration comes from the Data Core in FEAR: Perseus Mandate and most of the graphics in the beautiful, if shallow, Syndicate reboot. Made a blockout today: (this was one large, rough scene put in UDK as a single mesh,…
It will most likely not be produced with UDK - though this decision is not final, we are not even in real preproduction yet. UDK has the best base when it comes to artist friendly tools, a great built in materialeditor makes it easy to create stunning results in no time. But the whole dated coding/scripting progress makes…
Many thanks for the pointers @Eric Chadwick Unfortunately, I don't understand what you're asking exactly, so here is the normal map: By 'run a histogram on the original texture', do you mean like so? I must admit, I didn't pay too much mind in what color space the texture itself was being previewed in, as long the shading…
Hmm your images are broken. Looks like they are coming from Discord. Drag-and-drop works better here, see https://polycount.com/discussion/63361/information-about-polycount-new-member-introductions/p1#forum-tricks
Heya to all, I was wondering if anyone knew of image editors (like Photoshop) but set in a Node editing kind of way (a la UDK or ShaderFX)? I know so far we have Substance - Allegorithmic, but it has a really high learning curve (even for someone coming in from shader based knowledge, since alot of the functions are hidden…
I recently bought an intro level tablet which came with Zbrush core to learn how to sculpt a bit better before I decide whether or not I wanted to purchase the full version of Zbrush. I'm not sure if I'm just "dynameshing" wrong or if it's core. I'm a bit more comfortable in 3ds max when it comes to controls so I figured…
there is also "Mental mill - artist edition" which is node-based just like ShaderFX, and comes free with Nvidia's FX Composer 2.0. the app is standalone and can dump shader code, as well. (fx composer itself feels a bit bloated imo) the Cg Tutorial book, eventhough old, has some nice basic stuff. The Cg Manual (in here…
It seems like a really lame insult to me. I mean of all the things one could think of to insult another artist, is "pixel pusher" really the best they could come up with? At the end of the day, it's just obnoxious elitism and there's absolutely no end to it. This happens all the time when it comes to programmers and it…
