UDK - Scene Texture - HLSL functions
Hey to all, I was wondering if anyone knew of an effective way to function the SceneTexture in UDK? Example of what I mean: I want to blur my SceneTexture, so here is what I did first;return tex2D(SceneColorTexture, ScreenAlignedUV(UV)); SceneColorTexture is declared in UDK already, so I use that to be able to use my STC… -
Re: Shading in my normal map?
The shading is there to compensate for the mesh normals of the low poly. Your baker(max?) and renderer(toolbag) are not properly synced up. Thus = smoothing errors. This is not a "problem" with the bake, but a technical problem with the tools you are using. You can bake and preview your model in: Maya, or 3ds max + 3ps… -
Re: PETROL/BLOOD - Q&A
Are you seriously comparing working in a studio to joining a competition? I think there is a major difference here. We are game artists we aspire to work on games, the competitions for Dota and TF2 offered massive exposure and a chance to work on games that you love. They weren't arbitrary restrictions. The restrictions… -
Re: Overlooked Games and Female Characters
This is actual one of my favorite shows because I feel like they can cover topics without throwing too much bias. I think the reason you don't get as much praise for these characters or topics in these games can be attributed to exposure. Personally, I don't see a whole lot of advertising for the latest Nancy Drew or other… -
Re: Pimping and Preview forum
Thumbnails could be good, but I think it will big a big detriment to beginners. A few mentioned there isn't time to click into each thread, and that bad/poor art sometimes isn't worth the time. Any time I've visited a forum that had thumbnail previews, it looks cluttered, and I feel more rushed to click into eye-catching… -
Re: Never Alone (Kisima Ingitchuna)
Gave it a try at IndieCade. The art is definitely there. I like it a lot. Talking with the Native American reps with the game, as it's been said before, they're using the game as another possible way to bring revenue in for their tribal nation/community/government. Hopefully it works out for them, that'd be kind of nice :)… -
Re: Flash Light : Volumic effect
I'll chime in and give a solution too. I've had good results with this, by creating a small Render to Texture actor placed at the same position/rotation as the flashlight, and then giving it a process to return the Z-Depth. So basically you've got a small texture that now shows rays from the flashlight point outwards. You… -
Re: Red Dead Redemption Room
Thanks for the advice, I tried the visarea, but that stopped the sunlight shining through the room, in fact it meant you couldn't see anything outside the windows at all. I have set up an irradiance volume, but is this only to help lights that are created within it and not the sun itself? I kinda of solved the shadow… -
Re: Games Industry Mentor
An interesting talk on design! One thing I was still curious about is what input you as an artist may have? As is i'll probably make my entrance as a conceptartist but the thing that is most important to me is to make a good game, pretty visuals are of secondary importance if the encounters are dull and the content lacks… -
Re: Interview Advice
I dont think that he was implying anything in a negative way here, just speaking from a strickly legal viewpoint. I would trust this guy on these matters, as he is highly involved in the hiring process at blizzard. =) I'm pretty sure if Kenny is telling you something is illegal, you can trust his opinion. There could…
