Re: Source Shader Editor
It's definitely most awesome. It seems more like actually writing code in HLSL just with nodes, but to think about it, it might be not so comfortable for most artists since basic hlsl knowledge is required. The UDK editor eliminated a lot of that tech stuff. Anyway, Kris get hired by Valve in 3...2...1...Go! :D -

Re: Star Wars - Redemption ( FanMade Project )
Hi there ! It's been a long time, I've managed to find some time recently to work on the lowpoly, UVs, bake, and finally the textures of this new outfit for Mevenn :) I don't make new armors for her everyday so It was really refreshing going back on art choices in a way to define the character further than what's already… -
Re: I am completely new to all of this. I would like to learn how to make TF2 item models
Getting the stuff into source is pretty easy once you get the hang of it, it does involve some trial and error and even quite a bit of reading and some basic understanding of some basic concepts of code. The Valve wiki is a good place to learn, also there are a lot of user based tutorials floating around the web. BUT and… -
Re: Mech Project: Transforming Arm - 3 weapon states.
Traditionally in games you would have an attachment node and the weapons would connect to it. That way you can attach any kind of weapon to the node without effecting your main model, it also leaves it open for newer weapons later. Normally you could work on it all at the same time in one scene file and export separate… -
Re: Mirroring and stacking UVs leads to tangent discontinuity and seam
Thanks all for your comments! I ended up trying to solve this in Unreal Engine 5. I brought in my plane mesh with the texture and sure enough the seam was there too. Based on this thread: https://polycount.com/discussion/116922/a-solution-to-normal-maps-with-mirrored-uvs-in-udk I flipped the x channel in a shader just for… -
Re: File hiding virus scewed me over - Help!
I've no antivirus watsoever, the last (and first but I'm responsible I was foolish enough to bypass google warning message about the site I was visiting !) time I got something evil inside my comp was a few month ago, pctools2011 and it's a rogueware. What I've learned by studying various known virus/worm code, is that for… -
Re: Best 3dsmax realtime shader atm?
looks neat, reminds me of rtzen, just even more artist friendly than it rtzen but I think rtzen has died or so... also had another app in mind, a procedural texture generator which was similar intend on doing something similar (graph based) for luxinia's shader editor in the future as well. about the price, well… -
Re: Volume and Surface Area
No, it works on ALL triagles. Read it carefully, I'm not multiplying the height x width, I'm doing a cross-product between two edge vectors, and the definition of the magnitude of a cross product is that it is the area of the parallelogram formed by the two vectors. (from…
