Assuming your project involves high to low poly bake workflow? then from my perspective both elements completed thus far seem fine, imo nicely quadrafied too project an optimised proxy off of. As for face counts including relative number of cylinder segments, well they're dependent upon screen space this object or parts…
I was change fps in blender to 30. However, I found the root of the problem and it is not fps, but its solution requires deeper knowledge, so I simply disabled the temporarily unnecessary animation node.
You can use a curve node on the result of the distance node to change the profile of the bevel. The new flood fill nodes might give you a bit more control than distance as you can get scale dependent gradients.
I made a simple test material of how i thought ill go around creating the shoreline, but it gives bad results, the depth biased alpha node takes in account pixels that are behind the pixels currently rendered (or smt like that?) which means it changes with the view. test material: results: and Note how the red (foam) is…
Make one, or apply one? If apply, under Create Maya Nodes, open the Evn Nodes, pick the kind you want, throw in your reflection map file into it, then link the env node with the reflection color value on your main shader.
UPDATE: We are moving our assets to Unreal Engine 4, so note that we are no longer requiring you to have Unreal Script Knowledge, everything is coded with C++ so if you have experience with C++ writing codes then please don't hesitate to contact us...
What renderer are you using? How is your material setup? You can have your Texture-Node and then two Image-Nodes. The second node is set to "copy alpha to rgb". This can be used in a phong or similar shader to set the transparency.
In my limited experience w/ Maya it became necessary to start thinking in nodes the more complex a scene got. That's all a scene is in Maya is a bunch of nodes. They think they're so cool those fucking nodes. Paint job on a stylized head:
I went indie two and a half years ago, and these days you don't specifically have to be making games to carve out some success, as apps now cover a wide range of interactivity and entertainment. My business model is bootstrapped by freelance work. My titles are built using my graphics / design / marketing skills then I…
