Re: Advice with Learning Shader Programming
LoL this makes me mad. I dont know if it is this hlsl compiler or max but it is crazy. I've put my code into some fancy functions like Xoliul did, to get a better overview. But instead working like before as I would expect it, it does not I've got no compile errors or anything else, but my specular calculation doesn't work… -
Re: UVs for phallic imagery (a pistol) trouble.
All engines should support it. The UV sampling goes from 0-1 in both U and V directions You simply lay it out on a 2:1 space, like from -1 - +1 U and 0-1V then scale all the UV's by half (0.5) on the U axis and put them back into the default 0-1 UV space. IN your program they'll look stretched but they will read a 2:1… -
Blender transfer vertex order + transfer UVs
Since the Blender Mega Thread is bugged somehow (I can't write an answer there), I'm opening this new thread. I'm having a problem with transferring the vertex order of one mesh to the next. I have the single body of a character (without the head), and two heads of the character (same topology, only shape differs), and I… -

There is no 'right' way exactly, but there are ways of doing things that are considered 'industry standard' or are proven to be better ways from experienced people. It takes practice, trial and error to see what works best for you.… -
Re: Unreal Developer Kit - MASTER THREAD
yeah, this isnt really specific to UE3 and if you set your compression type to TC_Normal map on import it will do this automatically. The reason it does this is textures go from 0-255 but normal maps represent a vector in each axis, and the vector can go from -1 to 1 so you have to unpack those channels(Axis) from 0-1… -
Re: General dSLR advice
Canon EF 50mm 2.5 macro falls into that price range, but that is a 1:2 macro (which means it doesn't focus quite as close as a 1:1 macro, but still very close). Tamron 90mm 2.8 also falls into that price range for a used copy, especially one of the older models (all are good). Its a 1:1 macro and at 90mm you get more… -
