Re: Bend surface in multiple axis whilst holding boundary? (3ds Max)
Thanks guys. I was hoping that I was missing a nice technique while working in editable poly. I don't have much experience with patch modeling so I'll test it out. That seems to be the result that I'm after. I'm hesitant relying on techniques where the toolset's development seems to have ceased though. I'd love an editable… -
Re: [RELEASE] Shader Forge - A node-based shader editor for Unity
Glad you like SF! Essentially, you'll want to have one texture and the other in the A and B inputs of a lerp node, and then animate a black and white mask that plugs into the T input of the lerp node. What you need to do is to define "vertically". Vertically in what space? UV space? World space? Local space? View space? I… -
Re: Common shadow setups for mobile games?
I'm glad you told me about the vertex lights, I've added support for directional, point, and spot vertex lights. Surprisingly easy and simple to setup. All the calculations are the same of course, you just do it per vertex, then pass variables for the diffuse and specular from vertex shader to fragment shader. They just… -
Re: [CE] Beach diorama
No, you can't use secondary UVs in CRYENGINE. You can definitely fake the effect though. You could use a collection of meshes(with vertex alpha) to fake the depth and movement. I set it up really fast with two default cubes in engine and two materials. One uses the Vertex Deformation option the Illum shader comes with,… -
Re: Mathimatical techneque to work out polycounts?
Yeah, I'll second that MoP. I'm no programmer, but from what I understand a geometry vertex (as called in 3ds max) is really just the xyz position for the uber-ingame-vertex that stores the unique data for that corner of the triangle. So really you don't get any other data (UV, normal, etc.) without first having a position… -
Anyone noticed VertexSnapping bug [3dsmax 2017]
Hi there, Has anyone noticed the vertex snapping bug in 3dsmax 2017? I am unable to snap my pivot to a specific vertex. This is highly annoying. Does anyone know a solution or alternative for this? many thanks. -
Re: [WIP] Need Advise for stylized leaf system like this video. These are my attempts.
Hey! These look really cool already. Have you investigated custom vertex normals? Some ideas here http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Foliage#Foliage_Examples -
Re: Back to Zbrush and Photoshop ?
It's sot of hard to resist , a subject somehow looks ok at close inspection that way. Same issue you have when draw something on a canvas up close and often need a few steps back and try to catch an impression your work lefts in a corner of your eye. While Zbrush does it automatically since you go from low res to high.… -
Re: Normal map seams everywhere except maya?
It is nothing comparing to issues a game engine would cause. I recall U4 made this hard edges instantly revealing after you bake lightmass indirect illumination or whatever it been called there. Some SSAO techiniques also make those seams visible. Low resolution shadow maps also instantly reveals that "rounded" hard edge… -
Re: What's the math/logic behind curve maintaining the proportions?
I guess at one point at least everyone tries to find a good solution for this issue. There a couple of ways to do this, depends a bit on the situation and surrounding geometry. Hope quick explanation is understandable, no images at hand right now. A) Rotate 1. make a loop cut where the corner is supposed to be 2. rip that…
