Substance Designer - Red Tile Patterns ( 17 )
So was trying to get more into the fundamentals of substance especially creating patterns with like 1-4 nodes to keep it simple - I made like 17 of these ( lets say im happy to show 17/40 :P ) I spent like 10-12 hours on it, also I tried to get into tool bag for rendering, later on I added some dirt to the Pattern. The… -

Re: UDK Normals in Ambient Shadow
Awesome, thanks for that Ace-Angel. I do have a question about your node setup though. There are 2 nodes I have never seen before. The top one I get what its doing as its pretty straight forward but I have never seen a node like that. For the bottom one I cant really tell by the image what the node looks like so I am not… -
Re: Rumour: Autodesk apparently killing Softimage!
this would take more or less 5-6 years... and every faster try failed... :D on maya they are doing a lot under the hood... for example decoupling some modules (mr) that where tied to the core to get faster development... or change big code branches... thats in a node based environment "much" easier... -
Re: Remove this post
I think Eric already clarified but I thought I'd add this in as well. Shader and Material tend to confused by artists as well. A Shader is the framework for a Material, so this can be created either in code or in a node based editor. The shader defines the properties of a material. A Material is the compiled… -
Re: What software do you guys prefer and why? Unity or UE4
I still kinda prefer Unity. It's just a bit nicer to use and the way things are set up makes more logical sense to me. But I'm very much more inclined to write code than deal with spaghetti nodes. Unreal feels very clunky in comparison, even though it shouldn't have to. -
Re: ShaderFX and alpha Mip Maps
I don't think it will work. The other state/blend options are hidden. You can try playing with them via MEL, but I believe that on the VP2 side when rendering they are ignored and will only end up in the HLSL/CG code. Mel to be run on the State Node: shaderfx -sfxnode "ShaderfxShader1" -listProperties [node_uniqueID] -
Re: What Are You Working On? 2014 Edition
Yea, that is pretty much it. But I did not write any shader code, it is all done inside the node based shader editor of the UDK. That looks pretty cool! I experimented with something similar recently, here I animated decimation: http://i.imgur.com/uy0euwz.gif The other food is now also alive, this is for the horses: -
Re: Sub-levels under Persistent?
It sounds like you need to actually steam in the layer you've added. You'll need to do this in kismet using the steam levels kismet node in your base map (persistent map). As you noted, when you create a new layer you'll need to set its streaming method to Kismet for this to work. -
alpha channels not displaying
I can't get alpha channel nodes to display in Maya. They display just fine in renders, but they won't show up in preview mode, where I'm selecting and moving around objects. So why is it doing that and how do I change it? Do I have to get some Tesla action? Can I fix it with Maya settings?
