Re: FAQ: How u make dem mats? Hands-on mini-tuts for making materials and texturing
I feel like the original post in this thread, even if it is very old, never got good answers for Pedro's limitations. First: the point to PBR is not the realistic rendering of materials with realistic constraints. It's not going to be used by anybody studying optics, not ever. It's as much an abstraction as any other… -
Re: [Environment] ~ Total newbie looking for feedback and advice on |grass|
By short grass, I'm thinking that your referring to the ground texture? In order to get the ground texture looking properly again there is a lot that goes in to the shaders and materials.

Re: Remington 870 shotgun

Re: Microsoft Creative Director on Always Online: 'Deal With It'
Do we always define technologies by their failures? I think good points have been brought up about Steam, but overlooked. "Always On" does not implicitly mean "Fails when it's off". These are not mutually exclusive. I think the media is doing a great job of drumming up criticism surrounding the failures with Simcity and… -
