Jack Thompson gets pwned HARD
http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/05/10/18/1516223.shtml?tid=153&tid=17 I'm sure most of you are familiar with the Jack Thompson situation and his "modest proposal" (I was going to post this in the previous thread, but it is buried and I figured this deserves its own thread). When confronted with Hellfish's mod for GTA, Thompson… -

Re: [UE4] WIP - Star Citizen Corridor Environment

Re: UDK Material Reflection behaviour similar to Marmoset?
I mean the built in Phong shading. Here is a custom lighting shader and an example of how to use it. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/48657892/CustomLighting.upk A quick rundown on the parameters. Roughness: This is the equivalent of "glossiness", but unlike Phong, bigger number = more rough. The range of this is parameter is… -
Re: Sketchbook: d4psa
Been a while since I last posted here, but I've actually been somewhat productive in the meanwhile. I've worked some more on the weapon, though will post about that later. Also made two more Sculpt January pieces. First, the Day 9 piece which was themed "Mood: Rage" - so I decided to make the Berserk EVA-01 from the… -
Re: The Amazing Spider Gwen
Thank you very much for the kind words, I really appreciate it! The long arms I really debated back and forth about. Her arm length likely changed about a dozen times, but...I settled on long to match her legs-for-days look. Those knees come up to her chin Bayonetta style - all she's missing is the massive heels. ;) I also… -
Re: Desktop Replacement Laptops
I have a previous generation HP Envy 17, I have had it for a little over 3 months and I have been using it as a desktop replacement at home since I had to take my own PC to work. I really like it, performance is great for 3D stuff. Can only really have the settings on medium for games though and its pretty noisy and can… -
Re: WIP portfolio critique
Assets look pretty cool. The bat looks a little muddy. Either refine the details a bit more, or remove it. I'd also remove the long winded stories behind each piece. Keep it simple, no need for backstory unless it involved fighting an undead shark. I don't understand the hate for the rock. I think it looks pretty nice.… -
Re: Shader - Specular Term - Fresnel
The way I've been using it is multiplying the final spec value by the frensel value then adding that to the diffuse * diffuse lighting. The fresnel value is usually extremely low (most non-metal surfaces are between 0.01 and 0.04 - metals can go up to about 0.5). This means that the specular result is strongest at glancing…
