Re: WIP: WWI trench
The trenches where more chaotic and thrown together the closer to the front lines you got. So it really depends on where these trenches are. If they're closer to a prepared HQ things will be more organized and better defended. The zig zag was usually on purpose to break up line of sight if the trenches where breached. But… -
Re: Problem going from Cryptic to Biped
To help combat popping between IK/FK make sure you have a 3 degree bend between your bones when rigging. If you straighten out the bones of any IK/FK set up even a custom one, it will have trouble figuring out which system to use. It's why biped and 99% of all rigs have atleast 3degree bends in the limbs, so make sure your… -
Using an .FX shader, would like to render it (scanline, 3DS Max)
Hey hey, For the current LPC I am using an FX shader that allows me to vertex texture blend. However, when it renders, it renders it as a flat colour. My understanding is that FX shaders won't render. So what I am wondering, is.. 1.) How can I render vertex texture blending inside of 3DS max ? (2008) 2.) Can you actually… -
Random Seed Node?!
Is it possible to change the Random Seed Value with a Node rather then having to duplicate the previous nodes giving you two nodes with 2 different seeds? For example, If I want to combine 2 different noise nodes, currently I need two nodes, each with a different seed setting. It would be good to have one Noise, which… -
Getting started with Substance Designer. What is the best learning curve for begginers?
I'd image it would go something like this: 1. clean concrete, stucco, painted metals. 2. clean bricks and tiles. 3. clean wood floors and features. 4. marble, more complicated patterns. Still relatively clean. 5. More dynamic iterations. Cracked tiles, iregular bricks, dirt blending, damage blending. 6. Organic materials,… -
Re: Lowpoly Beginner dev question handpainted textures
In the example given they're using different eye textures, one open and one closed, and swapping between them as needed. Like Brian said above, you can have an eye material assigned to just the necessary polygons and swap that (same with the mouth). Alternatively You can have eye textures with alphas (opacity) and blend… -
Re: Learning Substance Designer
Day 7: Jewel Today's prompt made me think of The Legend of Zelda so tried to create a pile of Rupees. Originally I had wanted to have each color Rupee in the pile, with their frequency tied to their worth but I ran into height blending issues. I really need to find a consistent method for creating piles without running… -
Re: White border around alpha in max
There are two things which could cause this. 1- In the material editor, make sure that your diffuse map's "Alpha Source" is set to "none(Opaque)" in the Bitmap Parameters. Otherwise, max will use the alpha to blend between the texture and whatever the diffuse color is (usually a light grey). 2- If that didn't fix it, the… -
Re: Snow and sand on roads when needed (For games)
I would use a blend shader for this. It can be as simple as animating the blend % between totally-covered-with-sand and not-covered-at-all. This video by Tor Frick shows it nicely. Vertex Painting in UDK - Eat 3D You can do similar work in Unity, you just need a custom shader. If you're not comfortable with writing a… -
Re: Microscratches in PBR
Have you tried what it looks like? My guess is that it will still look either a.) like bumpy ice if you use normal maps b.) like sprayed on scratches if you use roughness maps I don't think you can get the exact same result as in OP's pic without blending several shaders, which may or may not work in UDK because the…
