Using bitmap files to add or subtract in a blend?
I may be missing something but can I use a JPG file, black and white information, and use it with a blend node to add or subtract the information? I've been messing with it and the Bevel node picks up the edges and I can adjust the sliders with success. Yet, this bitmap mask isn't playing showing up at all in a Blend node. -
Re: Rain Slicked Surfaces
the bit you've marked as "unknown" is the world position node scale. because if you just used the world position node raw your "faked" UVs will be the same size as the world - so they have that node to control the tiling. In this case the 'rain' bitmap will be 64 units wide in the world. -
Re: Damascened / Damascus / Pattern welded materials?
Took me about 5 mins to figure this out in SD. It's pretty simple node setup. Using a custom vector offset node there but stock directional or vector warp nodes should work aswell. You can plugin whatever patterns and noises for different damascus effects. -
Re: Does a viewport camera "tumble about point" mode exist for 3DS Max?
ah that works, thank you! one small problem though, if my mouse is off mesh, it rotates at an arbitrary point far away, and if im super up close in wireframe mode, the point is often picked to be far out behind the mesh. Is there any way to change the behavior? -
Re: Normalised roughness maps for vfx workflow
You can setup custom nodes for painter using substance designer - this is how all the proceedural nodes and textures in substance designer are made. You export a SBSAR file from designer and put it in the shelf in painter. There is already an 'auto levels' node in substance designer that basically does this. -
Re: Portfolio Review- Prop Artist
Just in case you're not aware of the current 3D gamedev industry situation: it's not good. Lots of layoffs happened which means you're competing vs. people who have a lot stronger portfolios and most likely more experience. Prop artist role is very rare, Weapons artist role is probably even more rare nowadays and the bar… -
Re: Substance Designer 4/8k Bitmap export??
Another trick in that case : disconnect your last node before the output nodes that you want to disable and press F5. This will force Substance Designer to flush its cache. Then double-click on the output node that you want to compute. Designer will then compute only the part of the graph needed by the outputs. :) -
Re: Maya RGBA SplatMap Hypershade setup and Export?
create 3 file nodes point to your diffuse 1 and 2 and the spalt map create a blend node, hook the outColor of the first diffuse file into the Color1 of the blend, the outColor of file 2 into the Color1 of the blend, than take outColorR of the spalt and hook it up to the Blender of the blend node. -
Re: Is there a way to strip a model of its (background) data?
Okay, figured it out. In case anybody finds this thread and is looking for help: I had to delete the nodes that were displaying the improper material. Create a new node in its place and reparent the existing geo. Looks like some of my nodes got corrupted. No idea how or why. -
