Re: Messed up colours on backfaces
2sided sign outputs 1 for the front face, and -1 for the back face. And lerp alpha should be in 0-1 range, thats why it looks off. To get it correctly working with your setup with the lerp, add 1 to the 2sided sign and then divide it by 2, and then plug it into the alpha of the lerp. -
Re: The Bi-Monthly CHARACTER ART Challenge | December - January
Looks to me that your nose tip and wings are proportionally smaller then the rest of face features : Height - most people conform to 1/3 for a wing height of nose length Depth - it relation 2:1 or 1:1 for part of the nose that stick out the face and part that in on the face -
Re: An exercise in modular textures - Scifi lab UDK
Snefer, why exactly do you use a 2:1 texture when using this method? What advantage does going 2:1 give over doing 1:1? (eg: 512x256 as opposed to 512x512 or 256x256, sans the fact that higher res is pretty) -
Re: Dicta Boelcke

Re: Monthly Environment Art Challenge - July & August 2017 (49)

Been actually experimenting in unreal engine, testing the lightmaps, I'm getting seams and been reading up but I cant help… -
Re: How many textures per model is too many?
I am used to putting a whole city into 1 giant texture because back in my uni days there was no other way to render under a 32bit windows using MentalRay. Memory limits were a constant plague and because of that frequent crashes, so we tried to be very radical and created 1 very big texture with all the environments of a… -
Re: Boba Fett Helmet (PBR Practice)
id definitely say its all of the maps. i wouldnt really think of it though as needing to edit your diffuse,spec and gloss.. just think of it as you need to edit the material. like i said, the values are irrelevant really.. its about the application. the chipped paint clearly looks like it was done with random brush… -
share: maxscript > store camera resolution per camera
what: simple maxscript that stores and reads per camera stored rendering resolution settings (width and height). You simply click on a camera of that list (list of your cameras in the scene) and it will change the aspect ratio of the safe frame and change your render width and height settings. Its quite specific but… -
Re: Making an air conditioner to be game ready prop
