I was thinking about the sexist and gender issues like this for a while and came to the conclusion that there must be a deep seeded instinctive process that drives males to consider themselves superior to women. After all, why is this still a debate or even why do some men still continue to perpetuate sexist activity when…
Hey guys! long time no see! During the quarantine I decided to get out of my confort zone and try doing some NPR, but keeping its usage closer to PBR and metal/roughness workflow. Using oren nayar diffuse model and GGX specular model. This is where I got to! This is a shaderFX shader (for it to work, maya must be on opengl…
Hello! I have a character with eyes that use two mesh layers for. The eyeLids use a lambert shader with an alpha map in the transparency. The mesh behind for the iris/pupils uses a blinn with a normal map to create specular highlights. The Lambert also has a ramp shader plugged into ambient colour for a cel shaded look.…
@Rmunday thanks! i had a lot of work in motion graphics and animation for commercail agencies since - that 1st marine was my 1st attempt at using aseprite and hadn't animated in years at that point- but 4 years later now i got quite a lot more experience thankfully. about a breakdown - i thinik i'm doing the basic keyframe…
I'm black and my younger self would be the kind of dude to ask this question...but frankly..what does it matter?? The fact that there are other blacks (or people from your culture social background) shoould not influence in any way you're attraction to a medium (even though, socially, it's proven it does). These kind of…
Tentative Steps Towards our first internal build #2 This weeks blog post i will highlight the progress we've had over the week. Across all the various divisions we've had a good amount of progress as we work towards our first internal build. Animation Philip has been working on getting all the gameplay animations…
Not sure why, but Moose's post reminded me of an interesting factoid I just learned. The "common sense" is that women don't like spontaneous sex (with a new person they just met) as much as men do. But this is actually because they think many of them would be bad in bed. The man says "wanna have sex?" but the woman hears…
A mix. Simply using a tiling texture for each mat type would work, but it's low effort and kind of meh looking a lot of the time. For a load of props, unique/atlased RGB masks might be worth considering. So a mix of generic tiling materials, with a mask to blend them with context to the object. an example for metal it…
If I hold ctrl and use the slider I can go from -3.1 to 3.1, so you're right it does work with radians. The code looks fine, which is weird since it looks like the program is just completely ignoring it. It was set to -180. to 180., and adding the 0s did not make any difference. Even if I change the limits directly like…
Not really a point. Scripts are great but are they needed? Its highly subjective. Even though I have both Indie and the full version of Modo... I can work with both primarily because scripts are not mandatory. Modo is very very very good out of box. This doesnt meant it wouldnt be nice to see some of the more popular…
