Re: Material setup - Metallic / Specular (using DDO)
What is your metallic input/output? If it's anything above 0 for a non-metal, it'll pull some spec value from the base colour and make it look shinier than it should be. Conversely, for metallic things, you want it to be 1, only reserving intermediate values for transitions between metal/nonmetal (soft scratches on coated… -

Re: Having a viewport nightmare
Make sure Vertex channel display is off. If the shader needs it on make sure the vertex channel colors are set to white. Try installing the latest product updates. This has fixed the last few viewport rendering bugs here on Polycount. Do you have Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable installed? It's required by 3 Point… -
Re: Tutorial - Gradient Mapping & UDK
And a Q3 era texturing technique comes back to life. :) Sounds like there needs to be a dedicated photoshop tips n tools section of the wiki or some other central repository. Also my guess as to the need for adjusting the RGB curve to match PS is PS's working gamma/colorspace being SRGB or AdobeRGB while UDK's is linear.… -

Re: polygon mesh product copyright law?
H+K will make you pay for using their guns in game, when I worked on 007 legends a few of the weapons had to be distinctly re modeled and re branded with imaginary names because of this...it appears to be on a per game basis too, as our publisher was Activison, and I don't see COD having any issues with licensed weapons :)… -
Re: expression to control an attribute depending on light received?
I'm not sure about getting the amount of light, since that would vary across the entire surface, but you could potentially do something like taking the dot product of the dominant light direction vs the eye's forward vector. This would not take shadows into account, so depending on how accurate you need it, this may not be… -
Re: (Critic Welcome) ConceptArt Portfolio
The bathroom scene looks better with those changes for sure. I really dig the super detailed linework environments, keep working on adding shadows and subtle lighting to make them more readable and give them dimension. Be careful not to let the shadows overpower or obscure the line work though. this is an awesome example… -
Re: My Game Art Portfolio
Like what others have said, this is a nice showing of well-rounded work! One comment I do have is on the presentation of image 004.jpg. When I first saw it, my brain wanted it to read as one scene/angle, rather than 2 separate shots and it took a couple of seconds to figure out what I was looking at. If you have the time,… -
Re: Detective and beyond ([fog's WIPping place])
Hey EQ, thanks for lending me a hand, here is the messed up map. It was originally four times bigger, but it didn't have much more details that you will miss here. The normal map xnormal generated from the two meshes was fine, aside from few missed spots (I can never get the number right for max ray distance, it's at 0.5).…
