Best shader solution for multiple overlapping alphas?
Does anyone have any recommendations as to the best shader for displaying multiple alphas overlapping in the Max viewport? Ive been messing with some foliage meshes and haven't found an ideal solution. Maya displays them perfectly with 'High Quality' enabled, but I'm not as fluent with Maya and end up working very slowly… -
Re: Finally after 10 years of weekend work - NoseBound is out on Steam!
Yes, the main learning experience would be not to fall under the idea that third party plug-ins can solve a big portion of the code and you can rely half of your game on that. It usually ends in a time sink of patch fixes, updates, and dependencies hell. I think is better to try to code everything yourself and the only… -
Re: Renderman Free Non Commercial
I'd say realtime can be where it's at when you're working on small budget projects with one or two people and solo computers. [ame] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zjPiGVSnfI[/ame] I mean to even get close to something with this graphic fidelity with a traditional renderer would take fucking ages to render out. Hours,… -
Re: Sleeping Pods WIP
So I went and worked on the walls and ceiling next. Got some lights in and, but when I rendered it with V-ray, all of a sudden everything was dark and grainy. Turns out my new lights were blocking my rectangular lights. Whoops! Thanks to a tutorial suggesting that I set up render elements, I was able to debug what was… -
Re: Worlds worst normal map. What have I done wrong?
Problem solved. Ok, for posterity, if you are working on a symmetrical mesh and want to speed up your UV's, just use symmetry when cutting your seams. If you have a half mesh and want to mirror it after unwrapping, make sure you set "flip uv's" option in the mirror options panel. If you don't do this but sew your pieces… -
Re: looking for a career advice
Heya @monkey_T I think programming is one of the most creative jobs there is, so don't put yourself down man ^^ Anything that requires problem solving over such a broad area is super creative. I have a very bad grasp when it comes to programming for games, but that sounds like a better option than doing a full 180 and… -
Re: Would I get hired as an environment artist without a traditional modelling DCC under my belt?
having a broad overview of all the disciplines is good, it's not good to only know one thing you might have a job a little faster if you only focus on a single thing, but in long run it is better to have broader perspective so I wouldn't say you wasted your time with that in case you never heard of this:… -
Re: Ripped and sold
I don't get the inception reply but, I'm sure you all feel cute. I've worked with people that have sold off company owned assets. I've seen people get work on the back of others, but that is not what this thread is about so, I apologize. -
Re: Hard surface is hard
@AxtelSturnclaw : Thank you, I will make sure to include control loops when I do next bake, I wonder if I can remove those loops when the bake is done or will that screw up surface normal? Will try and see :poly121: Honestly I was surprised how well the normal map makes the tip of the muzzle look. @Tectonic : Yeah I still… -
Re: Normal Map Jagged Edges
This is an old thread, I know, but I keeps popping up when I'm trying to solve the same problem. I solved it accidentally and remembered how I solved it. Watch out for the scale of your object, take a look at the dimensions of your object, (make sure your scale and rotation is applied though) if it's in between 1-5, your…
