Re: Environment Light problems
It's going to be a bit pixelated no matter what you do. Part of that pixelation comes from the screen space ambient occlusion but turning that off probably will make your scene look worse. It'll probably be a lot less noticable once you've textured your objects. -
Re: 3D Model for Game Question. Does more UV shells affect performance?
^^^ all that, plus, the more shells you have, the blurrier your textures will be. You need empty space between shells for "padding" which helps avoid color bleed. The more shells there are, the more pixels have to be used by padding, and the less pixels will be available inside the shells. More about that here… -
Re: Horrific Normal Baking Errors?
Looks like pixel padding, not a bad thing (very good, in fact, helps with mipmapping). You could stand to have a lot more pixel padding, as too much is not a thing. Never look at a normal map in 2D to diagnose problems, apply it to your mesh and see what it actually looks like. -
Re: Is it possible to generate SSLR in substance designer?
I've done some pretty strange things with the pixel processor but it rapidly becomes unmanageable. the limiting factors are the fact that you cant loop (and thus can't sample other pixels effectively) and that it takes a shit load of nodes to do anything. Eg. It's possible to make an auto levels node with it but you'll be… -
Re: UDK Directx 11 Tesselation
Yes in wireframe the number of triangles don't change even if i modify the tesselation multiplier. Seems to be hardware relative ! I gave up with the bump offset it gave me really bad result. It duplicate the texture instead of repeating the last displaced pixel. While with tesselatation the last pixel is used for the… -
Re: Concerning Normal-Maps
btw one can get smoother results from changing from per-vertex lighting to per-pixel. By normalizing the vertex normals on per pixel level you get better quality out of the mesh. That doesnt require a normalmap and still looks much better than classic goraud shading -
Re: Lighting & Modular Architecture Problem- UE4/3DS Max
I have yet to try this technique, but I would recommend looking into this also! You basically increase the lightmap resolution by 2 to account for lost pixels. In theory, it should make is so you never have to pixel snap again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iw7rRU8VmU8 -
Re: Texel Density w/ Detail Maps
i think the whole "consistant pixel density on everything" way of thinking that is emerging more and more is absurd just do what ever looks right on a model to model bases : good model + good texture + good composition in the scene + good lighting > consistent pixel density -
Re: Photoshop CS3 path question.
A ghetto workaround... make a black Color Fill layer, set it to Screen (so it's invisible), set the path as its Vector Mask, give the layer a Stroke Layer Effect, set it to white + 1 pixel + center. It's pixellated but the lines are exactly centered on the path so it's still accurate. -
Re: Aion and normal maps
I've never done a stint in any MMO for more than 6 months... I usually get bored of the gameplay and environment... I don't really find it fun to run around pressing buttons to shoot pixels at pixels for 8 hours at a time (to do anything meaningful)
