Re: 3ds Max, Shader FX, wind effect?
I looked at the HLSL, but I'm not great at figuring out what the code should be. I can't see anything glaringly wrong, but I'm not sure what I'm looking for either. That's why I'm using a node-based editor. :D // -------------------------------------- ShaderVertex --------------------------------------SHADERDATA… -
Re: How do people get so much resolution in their textures on low poly models?
Hello, Adding to the great info above : in its current state your head texture is already higher res than the one seen in the lowpoly TF2 Engineer demake. Therefore besides technical tricks like miroring or reusing UVs, you also need to practice painting textures at the pixel level, handling them in a impressionist manner.… -
Re: Shooty squad game
hey ho rooster! played it and I have to say it makes definitely fun! I would say an important point would be to work out the differences to games like alien swarm. Maybe less shoot'n run and more tactical? On the other hand, for an fast simple game the 4 troopers are bit confusing if you play them all together (at least… -
Re: Lightmaps: tech pros and cons
This is a great thread, lots of stuff I didn't know. commander_keen would you mind explaining the math and/or process behind the lightmap modulation? I'm currently coding my own pixel shaders in Unity for the Sidescroller challenge going on right now and I'd like to be able to do more than just multiply my lightmap on top… -
Re: My housemate has a question
Ronin were samurai who had no master, they weren't necessarily rogues. Yes, ninjas did ignore the Bushido code (a code btw which didn't really come into existence until the period when samurai were becoming obsolete) which is what made them rogues, and the big shots in power did hire them to do dirty work, which is what… -
Re: How to Select Smoothed Polygons through MEL in maya?
Nope, that sounds like a pretty good method. So I guess you can get all objects, then use the listHistory command to find out if there are any polySmooth nodes. If there aren't any found, just call the polySmooth command for that object. It should be pretty straightforward - here's some example code (not 100% guaranteed to… -

Importing low poly mesh from zbrush and maya have different results. How come?
Hi I am wondering if someone could help me with whats going on below. The model on the right is the model from Zbrush I exported. I started with a shape in Maya goZ it to Zbrush, sculpted a high poly, then duplicated, and projected etc. I exported both Hi and low from Zbrush to bake my normal in Substance and texture. I… -
Re: Gradiant Mapping Problems
I haven't downloaded the file and looked at the code but I'd suggest that you try doing the same functions as separate nodes rather than by using a custom node. -
Re: Maya: Creating a crl-obj that selects other objects
Seems like a Shelf button would be the best way ;) Whargoul's idea is a solid improvement though, a more generic scriptJob that queries a specific custom attribute is much more flexible than a hard-coded one, and allows multiple of these "master control" objects to be used without writing more than one script. You could…
