Re: Shader Forge: Multiple masks packed into single channel
The bottom right has the math to extract my two masks. I subtract .5 to pull the 127 to 255 range (really .5 to 1) down to 0-127 (0-.5). Then I multiply that by two to stretch it to 0-255 (0-1), then clamp it in case any values were greater than 1. For the other mask in 0-127, I simply multiply by 2 to expand it 0-255,… -
PS CS5: The Undo/Layer Dance
Know what I'm taking about? It goes like this: 1. Work on layer 200. 2. Move to layer 1 to work. 3. Make a mistake and 'Undo'. 4. Try again 5. Realize you're working on layer 200. /facepalm 6. 'Undo' 7. Go to step 2. I find this mildly annoying. Is there a way to disable this Photoshop "feature"? thx, -kp -

Re: [UE4] Emissive lighting artifact
This is a lightmap issue, because emissive lighting is static only. Few things you could try: 1. Increase the lightmap resolution on these meshes. Check the padding of the UVs. 2. Make the road 1 mesh instead of 2. 3. Use stationary lights instead of using emissive lighting. You can turn shadows off for something this dim… -
Re: Sketchbook; stickadtroja
I think it sort of ruins the mysterious feel of his piece with strong lights like this. 1-2 it's about bringing attention to right parts of your image 1. I painted this cyan fog you have over the hand slightly because that hand is clearly further away. 2. Painted glow to the eyes to bring attention, it's a bright colour… -

Re: Supporting Edges vs Bevels vs Creasing for 3d game art and cinematics?
Thanks for the reply. 1. What use cases would I use creasing for over the other 2 options? It seems to be used for keep certain edges sharp and hard. but by that logic wouldn't it only apply to weapons or props with blades or something sharp? In the reference below, the artist mentioned the high poly is a mix of subD and…
