Re: Histogram looking pattern with distorder option - Substance Designer
I found loop node recently as a replacement for slope blur with unlimited number of sampling for things like that. it might get quite slow although. For "disorder" you can just set different seed slider for initial blobs in tile sampler node or different seed in displacing noise. You can also use random darker tints in… -
Re: Stylized Stubby Flintlock Pistol (WIP)
Thanks Lamont ^^ I certainly get where you're coming from, my original was made looking at photos from actual flintlocks and they're mostly of brown wood and brighter metal. It's a tried and true palette. But revisiting it, I want to give it a unique touch, hence going for the opposite with bright wood and darker metal.… -
Exporting 3ds rigged game character to FBX error, due to layers?
Trying to export my character rigged in biped to fbx to use in unity, but I keep getting this error. Warning: Unsupported 'By Layer' mode (14) The FBX plug-in does not support objects set to "By Object" mode in the Object Properties > Display Properties group. These objects are exported as "By Layer" instead. You can… -
Re: Career focus Tech art or Hard surface
There's a wide breadth of possibilities for being employed as a technical artist in games. You don't have to actually write tools, though that certainly increases your appeal to hiring managers. I don't actually write code, well I write a little but I try to code as little as possible. It's just not something I enjoy.… -
Re: PYTHON Highlevel intro to Python in Maya (cmds, Pymel, Openmaya 1.0 & 2.0)
That's a very broad generalization - borderline trash talk. Too slow for what? Material managers? UV tools? Exporters? Auto-riggers? I have worked on everything of that except the latter (rigging is not my thing) and I've never had any performance problems what so ever. The real benefit is that developing tools with PyMEL… -
Re: 3ds max edge thickness on 4k monitor.
Played around with the idea this is the best atm that I came up with for people with this issue. Make back ground dark/ get a dark Material / for the wires go into ui / colors / change it to something stupid bright, maybe that will help you. I tried to get the see-through colors to change but it didn't no matter what i did… -
Re: Polygonal Planet Project - a Unity demo for your browser
I wouldn't say I master shaders. But I do think able to combine my decent understanding of maths, aesthetics and shaders in a somewhat unique and interesting way. I started with node based shader tools; you can find those in UDK, the Shaderforge plugin for Unity, and even Mayas hypershader. When I had some good intuitive… -
Re: Baking Floating Geometry with Maya's Turtle Renderer
Development on both Beast and Turtle continue, as they're basically sister products and share a lot of underlying code (liquidlight, it used to be called). What you want to do OP is make sure all the input meshes are selected (all the hp bits, including floaters), and select the LP as the output. The important part is the… -
Re: Autodesk smarts
Yep, at work we use ft and that happens pretty often. At home I use standard 3dsmax units and it rarely happens. Of course I use 3ds more at work... but I'd be willing to bet 3ds likes its native units. <-That's the devils button right there... Keyboard Shortcut Override, you'll find it in the top menu as a button. Most of… -
Re: Steam capatible Half-Life skins???
It's a bit more crazy but for the most part the guys are right. There are several paths the different pieces have to go, depending on how involved your player model is. Here is the folder structure for HL2DM as I understand it. This is normally found in; <font color="red">X:\Steam\SteamApps\<username>\half-life 2…
