"Well the stretching is coming from normal directions pulling the shading in certain directions. Its not something glitchy but natural, like pulling cloth. That it can work regardless is more the surprising thing imo." Yeah that's exactly my point - that's not "skewing", or at least not in the sense of "rays being cast at…
Thanks everyone for your encouragement. PogoP - I mainly used the Standard, Clay and hPolish brushes, I find they are good for most things. SHEPEIRO - Thanks a lot for the comments. And also for those two images. I love the second one and will push the colour in my trees. I had much more varied colour in them before but…
Hello Joakim. That Curves tool in Photoshop is performing a mapping of the colour values. You plug in a value A and it outputs a value B. In mathematics, the name of the device that does this is a "function." In order to transfer that Curves tool to a pixel shader, you need to devise a way to input a value A and get a…
Creating and assigning new user properties is such a persistent change and there's no need for it. I've already suggested (at tech-artists) you use a custom listview comparer as the info is already contained in the list itself, check the code again for other suggestions (functions getIDCount and getItems; the rest is just…
You have to start to learn how to break down these materials and experiment on your own. Experimenting, messing around with your maps, and just trying stuff is the best way to learn. You are not going to get all the information you need from the internet. Unfortunately I do not have time to make you another example, but…
@EarthQuake Thank you for putting an example together!

Gosh, I wish I could just open up your level and click all the check boxes to activate features... You lighting only image tells us a lot of important things: 1) Your materials (textures) are too dark. As you can see, even in the brightest of lighting areas, your screen shots are almost totally black. This is NOT a…
Hope this is the right place to post :) I need help choosing a Graphics Card :thumbup: So i'm in the process of building my second computer, my first one i built about 8 years ago, and I never really used it as a home work station. More or less just to goof around and watch movies on. For art though, I've always had to…
Hi there. I'm working on a small game for my portfolio. I've followed some UDK tutorials before, so I'm somewhat familiar with how the program works, but I'm not an expert. Before I created too many assets, I wanted to run some tests, just to make sure I wasn't doing anything wrong or missing something. I'd hate to have to…
