Re: What are the triangles for
[ QUOTE ] actually one of my teachers was telling me about this old ass engine that required you to do things in quads because it wouldnt import correctly otherwise. I didnt understand the exact technical stuff behind it but it was something like, when it went to transform a poly into a triangle and the poly was already a… -
Re: Should I upgrade my CPU or GPU?
wait until you can afford to upgrade both. Though as illo mentioned CPU would be more important (it also has to send the commands to the GPU). The Celeron has lousy cache, which is where a lot of speed comes from in CPUs. An i5 would be cheaper alternative on same socket.… -
Re: Blender Texture Coordinates, is this even possible?
My guess your issue is with 2d patterns like procedural brick texture because 3d noises look same from any view directions. For 2d patterns a common way is to use so called tri-planar projection. Blender doesn't have it by default but it's either possible to find on blenderartist.org or do it on your own: You make 3… -
Re: [GeoNodes] Sampled curve only consider one spline (workaround)
This has to to with the indexing of the curve. It seem every part is indexed separately but this is not relayed onto the Index node ( only one dimension 0..n an not somethign like (1..p, 1..n) ~~ (Part , PartIndex) ) so on splitting teh curve the index "restarts" of some kind but then it is not correctly interpreted… -
Re: Blender dark pixel artifacts while rendering - How can i solve this?
this is cycles, and the texture is just a simple white (the default color of the the diffuse node). Sorry i forgot to say this, but everything is at a default value, that's why this bothers me. Lights are not baked. The only light comes from an emissive shader that's part of the lamp. -
Dicta Boelcke
Some might remember some of my low res planes from ages ago. This is what they are for. A relatively slow-moving project (though totally noncommercial, and in fact the first openGL project the programmer has ever done... and second game he's ever worked on, so from my perspective, a pretty good achievement) which is… -
Re: Degree's and Internships
CS is practically all coding haha. Once you go further in there'll be classes that focus more on things like logic rather than actually writing code but if you do CS, expect to write a lot of code. If you can get a very strong understanding of CS111 and Data Structures though, you'll be set. I even know a bunch of people… -
Re: Advice for wannabe technical artist's career direction?
don't get too hung up on 'junior' as a grade - different studios use different words and have different criteria for reaching different grades. If the pay fits and you like the sound of a job, take it WRT tech-art Specialising in anything is probably unwise at a junior-ish level. It's not the same as being a junior artist… -
Re: Is This How a Normal Map Should Look or Am I Doing Something Wrong?
Hi @Fabi_G Thank you for your patience. I really appreciate your support. I can share the specific model if needed, although I’m not sure it’s necessary. I did some reading and experimented a bit with baking at 2x resolution and then downscaling and normalizing the normals. The results are definitely much better now. See… -
Re: Switching in a glow map dynamically
You need the second texture coordinate to tell the shader that you want the radial gradient to be projected that way. The radial gradient is used to tell the shader that you want the transition to be spreading outwards from the center. Also, you can't "play" the transition yet. You need a matinee for that, or it has to be…
