Re: Nifty... MayaLT on Steam
Despite significantly weaker modeling and UV tools in Maya? I starter using Maya few years ago while I was learning in best (then) Polish 3D animation school. I used this software for 2 and half year, including year as professional artist. Then Blender 2.63 with ngons came up and I starter learning it and I was blown away… -
Re: Selective depth of field on ironsights (i.e. COD4)
Ahh thanks for the opinions. A mask texture seems like a quick and easy way to do it without having to fiddle with all that engine specific stuff. On a related note: I am currently trying to implement a similar effect with GLSL in the Sauerbraten engine and I can currently think of three ways to implement it in theory: 1.… -
Re: Classic games of the past
Also, a bunch of other recommendations, most of the games mentioned are of the 1991-1995 era, and ALL of these (except battlezone) use a standard VGA graphics mode as default, so if 256 or 16 colors is not your thing, then ignore this list entirely: Out of this World (Another World for you ZED sayers) Nethack 4D Boxing The… -
Re: What Are You Working On? 2020!
I made a tile generator node in Substance Designer that can create tiles of different sizes in both X and Y axises at the same time, without intersecting shapes and can semi-reliably avoid straight seams across the canvas. The user can customize the number of tiles generated in both axises and change the random seed to… -
Re: Product Viz - normal shading problem
Try using the very first uv channel (index 0). In Unreal, tangents aren't generated for all uv channels by default so anything other than index 0 will show wrong. If you must want to use other uv channels for normals, there is a node to generate tangents for them. Its a material function, called derive tangent basis. You… -
Re: Maya RenderTarget
I should have first asked what you're wanting to accomplish here, I should mention that I've never actually used this node so I'll check it out when I get some time. I do see this other example of how to use it. If you're wanting to preview the steps in your shader network, each node has an S icon at the top that will solo… -
Re: Chibi Space Marine
If you wanna progress with more and more game like real-time shading in the viewport then you should look at cgfx/hlsl shaders. I have some on my site and there a few other ones for Maya as well. http://wiki.polycount.com/CategoryShaders You can actually use some environment nodes in Maya to use image based lighting… -
Re: Substance designer scaling issue (noob question)
It's a known pain in the a... with Substance designer. The programm is very prone to any inconsistence within nodes with absolutly zero indication. Anything you forget to set right somewhere 10 levels deep. Most probably it's bitmap imputs you forget to set relartive to parent at some transform node in the process. SD is a… -
Re: Renderman textures not showing in the Maya viewport
Okay, I think I know what's wrong but still can't figure out how to proceed from here, When I apply a new PxrSurface to a model, I somehow also get lambert material connected to the PxrSurface4SG. When I apply textures on both nodes only Lambert material seems to be working. If I delete the Lambert node, everything changes… -
Re: Building a new computer, need some tips.
It seems like these dudes are pointing you in the right direction but I just figured I'd toss out some last stuff. If you do go MATX and want to get a smaller case, make sure it supports the Hyper 212 EVO. With ATX the height is usually not an issue. You may have to go with an AIO liquid cooler in a smaller setup, but then…
