Maya 2017Blend Shapes effects rig even when the blend shape node is underneath skin cluster (inputs)
Hi, I've been trying to fix this problem all morning, I seem to have an issue with my rigged female bust. When ever I make my blend shapes and move the blend shape slider. The mesh moves up (translate Y axis) I seriously do not know how to fix this, I've tried resetting transformations. I've also tried to put the blend… -
Texture import is causing channel data to be mixed in a way I don't want.
Edit: Bumping up the contrast of the non-red channels significantly revealed the presence of the circles. I thought it might be an artifact of improper bucket tool use in Photoshop or something, but I'm confident the image I'm using has the appropriate contents in each channel. So now the question becomes: is there some… -
Early testers wanted (platform for indie & solo game devs)

Re: Should I learn to code? :(
No, not immediately. Traditional comp sci will not effectively indirectly contribute to your education path as an environment artist. Will matter only if you decide to code HLSL shaders, etc. Environment Art, at most, requires scripting and node scripting skills. Feel free to do if it if it's fun or still interests you. -
Re: Substance - Bug Reports and Feature Requests
Hi Guys, Is there any plan to have access to a public SDK / API for Substance Designer in the foreseeable future? I mean something similar to the 3ds Max SDK or Maya API, C++ based, to develop custom nodes, via code. Is there any chance to have a "scripted node"? A node that works by interpreting code, with the same… -
Learning to code.. C++ or Python?
Hi everyone. after trying to make it in the game industry as an artist for 4 years with no success I am heavily considering learning to code. I want to make games, however I haven't coded anything in 10 years and that was in Visual Basic. If I want to learn am I better off jumping straight into a language like C++ or… -
Re: Height based Texture Blending in 3dsmax?
it's possible to do anywhere with Max ("lighter" in photoshop terms) and subtract arithmetic nodes working with texture pixel values (blending modes) . Perfectly doable in Photoshop, Substance Designer/Painter, Blender shader nodes, etc Sure in 3dMax too but i did it years ago in old shader fx only before they bought it.… -
My Cavity Map Notes:
Hey guys, I was recently talking with a buddy of mine, and he mentioned he never used cavity maps before. He uses AO of course, but just never got around to using Cavity. I think a lot of people are not aware of Cavity maps so I thought I would share my notes, and personal settings I use for cavity maps. (I make notes of… -
Re: The wonders of technical art (Unreal Engine)
I would like to share something with you guys, that I discovered some time ago, but I didn't have nice use cases to show it off. Now in the ray marcher, it saves me a lot of time, and simplifies and shortens the hlsl code that I actually need to write. Hopefully it will be useful for someone else too. It is about adding… -
[Blender 2.8] Select sub-object mode
I downloaded Blender 2.8 last week and was looking into adding my own scripts to custom keyboard hotkeys, but there are gaps in my understanding that the Blender documentation, or these conversations I found, isn't explaining well enough to a dumbass like me. If I use these three code lines, I can call the subobject mode…
