Re: Packing Tools with non-uniform scaling?
I wonder whether some method involving an ambient occlusion style calculation to control the texel density would work. It would obviously be a custom plugin but my first thought of an automated algorithm that decides what scale to have a certain polygon is, would be "how visible am I?". If it's hidden in a nook or cranny… -
Re: Programmning vs Artist in the Game Industry
I was really on the fence for awhile about this. I love coding! There I said it. Developing algorithms and tools is really quite rewarding. I taught myself and my first project was a small text based dungeon crawl with random dungeons similar to the old rouge game in C++ and was seriously stoked. Network a lot and try to… -
[WIP] [Critique] Cultess
Hi! After some abscense from modelling/general 3D I got inspired by a music video , that the youtube algorithm recently threw at me. Part of this private project is the main figure, a "cultess". I'm slowly getting the vibe of finishing at least the character for the first "scene" and wanted to ask for some critiques/ideas… -
Re: [Substance Designer] Multiple variations and switches?
Update: thanks to bruce_4 over at Allgerithmic forums (https://forum.allegorithmic.com/index.php/topic,16945.0/topicseen.html), he replied with this, and #2 works perfectly! " You have two choices. 1. You can find a single point upstream on your graph and place a switch there, but it's probably not setup that way. 2.… -
Re: Artstation made us numb to art
The thing is, companies aren't looking at your Artstation folio...artists are. And they absolutely care whether or not ur folio is easy to use like Artstation is. Custom folios are fine but from my experience, they aren't up to date because it's not easy to update a custom folio like it is to update your artstation, or… -

Re: ratGPU : OpenCL raytracing renderer
Uploaded ratGPU 0.3.0 with ATI support and some speed improvements. Some important notes ( as I mention in the web page ): 1. The Forceware 25X broke ratGPU. Use the FW 197 instead while they fix the drivers. 2. If you want to execute in an ATI card you need to download the huge ATI OpenCL SDK v2.2 ( I know, a pain ). 3.… -
Re: Photoshop Smudge bug?
This all makes sense. It's a simply matter of bit depth, with 8-bit images there are only so many colors available. If you didn't have noise, you would have gross stair stepping/banding instead which generally looks significantly worse. The reason you're seeing slight color noise there is that using a bit of color in a… -
Re: voxel cone-tracing GI discussion
I have implemented my own version of this technique: The shadows are also cone traced, which I still need to fix up the artifacts (I think it may be to do with using surface voxelization instead of solid - to avoid self-shadowing artifacts I had to skip the base mip in the cone trace). No octrees are used yet, the entire… -
Re: Question Regarding Scripting Languages
After learning Java the only thing he needs to learn in C++ is pointers and OOP I believe. I would strongly suggest Python and C#. As for understanding the algorithms and making your mindset to understand logic would come later on when you start coding at high level. Many would disagree with this post and claim that C++ is…
