Re: Most effective way to create specular maps?
I usually just check my specular maps straight inside of photoshop while working on one. When happy with the result, I make sure to check it in the target engine and tweak if necessary. I like to have my textures files/psd's pretty organized, so my spec, diffuse, normal, etc. are all in separate groups. This than allows me… -
Re: Feedback - Walk_Cycle
Hi Gewarzed, welcome to the animation forums! I'm liking the secondary action that the cigar brings to the cycle. It gives him some pretty solid appeal. Some problems I noticed pretty quickly would be to check the curves on your feet sliding. They look possibly splined, it should look pretty close to linear while the foot… -
Re: Zelda: Wind waker Tech and Texture Analysis *picture heavy*
Here's my best guess, from working on the Wii: Wii textures can be saved using a variant of S3 Texture Compression, similar to DXT1. This is a block-based scheme where all the pixels in each block get assigned a linear blend between two endpoint colours. You've probably seen what happens when a sudden colour change happens… -
Re: 2006, warmest year yet in the US
I had 2 feet of snow over the new year here in Albuquerque, NM. Denver was in a declared state of emergency. Personally, I'm sure that Ug Von Caveman noticed that it was getting steadily cooler, and blamed his fellow Neanderthals over-hunting of birds for the change in the weather and warned that we'd have to stop killing… -
Re: TES: Oblivion
Hmm, I've been reading about the "leveling world" and while I do think it has some really good merits, it kind of saddens me to think people can become the Arena Grandmaster at level 1. I don't mind the creatures leveling a bit to continue the level of challenge. Honestly, it's not a hard linear thing either as many of the… -
Re: NPR outline
I've used the clone mesh method and the shader method. For the problems you describe with the cloned mesh method, you can simply delete the faces in the outline mesh where you don't want them to be (delete the faces around the eyes and mouth, etc.) With the clone mesh method, you can create colored outlines by texturing… -
Trim sheets. How to use them?
As I was able to understand, today the industry standard (well, one of) is using trim sheets, that are texture with bunch elements that can be seamlessly tiled on the model. I think old plain regular tileable textures also considered a part of that technique, but I'm not sure... But how do you work with them? Not in a… -
3DO roughness differes from UE4 roughness (sRGB disabled)
Hi there, i recently got the Quixel Suite 2 (2.2.2) and iam totally addicted to it! It could be a little more performant but that's no big deal so far. Anyways ... I have some strange problems while exporting textures to UE4. In 3DO the texturing looks awesome. But when i import the model and textures to UE4 (created… -
Basic Earth Advice
Hi, I am starting to get into planetary rendering, and the first thing I tried was naturally our home planet. Since I'm just starting out, I just grabbed the Blue Marble image from NASA and blended in a constant blue glow based on Schlick Fresnel at the edges. I then placed a point light at (0,0,0) and aimed it straight… -
Static lighting in Unity 2018.3
Hey Everyone. I've been having a hard time really nailing down exactly what is going on with my light bakes in Unity and that may just derive from my lack of understanding of what all the light settings are meant to achieve. I have posted an example below to "illuminate" exactly what is happening. Notice the left image…
