Re: Substance Designer Testing (Ryan Griffin)
Looks like a great beginning! Designer is super powerful, it just takes some time to fully master the various nodes. Here are some tips for each material: 1. The normal map here looks quite intense, when you might want to use a combination of height and normal. Height for the big shapes, then normal to add smaller details.… -
Re: Silo bitching
did you posted that on their boards? its sad indeed that it is so buggy (especially with the symmetry stuff, almost impossible to work with that ). I wish they would work on it again as well and maybe hire some xtra coder to do the bug tracking so that they can focus on core or new stuff. I could do the same video from… -
Re: SciFi Support Beam
Cool, that's good to hear. Weird how the 3/4 trick fixes the problem. I vaguely recall a coder here talking about how sudden switches of normal direction (the rorshach seam) can cause lighting headaches. He also asked for unique UVs for lighting fx. Sorry about the techy bits. I'm still coming to grips with this mirroring… -
Re: approach to techy stuff
Our max exporter at Whatif would do some funky shading when an object had no smoothing groups... not faceted, it was like a single SG but really f'd up. Apparently Max was sending out weird mesh data if there were no SGs at all. Coders said it was all max's fault. ;) I found a pic. No SGs on the left, separate SGs per face… -

Exporting 3ds rigged game character to FBX error, due to layers?
Trying to export my character rigged in biped to fbx to use in unity, but I keep getting this error. Warning: Unsupported 'By Layer' mode (14) The FBX plug-in does not support objects set to "By Object" mode in the Object Properties > Display Properties group. These objects are exported as "By Layer" instead. You can… -
Re: PYTHON Highlevel intro to Python in Maya (cmds, Pymel, Openmaya 1.0 & 2.0)
That's a very broad generalization - borderline trash talk. Too slow for what? Material managers? UV tools? Exporters? Auto-riggers? I have worked on everything of that except the latter (rigging is not my thing) and I've never had any performance problems what so ever. The real benefit is that developing tools with PyMEL… -
Re: 3ds max edge thickness on 4k monitor.
Played around with the idea this is the best atm that I came up with for people with this issue. Make back ground dark/ get a dark Material / for the wires go into ui / colors / change it to something stupid bright, maybe that will help you. I tried to get the see-through colors to change but it didn't no matter what i did… -
Re: Polygonal Planet Project - a Unity demo for your browser
I wouldn't say I master shaders. But I do think able to combine my decent understanding of maths, aesthetics and shaders in a somewhat unique and interesting way. I started with node based shader tools; you can find those in UDK, the Shaderforge plugin for Unity, and even Mayas hypershader. When I had some good intuitive…
