Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | May - June (102)
@BillyJackman, "stab at the eye" sounds really painful :p But jokes aside, my only critique would be in regard to the eye itself. Right now everything about it is so perfectly round, it seems out of style with the rest of the prop. Maybe if the surface was less smooth and/or the pupil texture not as sharp..?… -

Re: Unreal 5.8 Substrate Retroreflector Mat
A bit of a breakthrough on the next iteration for the reference material. If you use the CameraVector node (which I was using some of my dot products), as your normal, you get "free" retroreflectivity. This much better because it actually takes into account all scene lights, rather than relying only on a single directional… -

I started trying to get some basic tesselation working in Maya 2014 with the DX11 shader with viewport 2.0 and I am having some trouble with the domain shader. I think I am passing the right data sets through… -
Re: Maya MASH curve node - can i roll instances around a selected curve?
@oglu , i've never touched bifrost before, but yeah a quick glance looks like it might be helpful for this sort of thing. At least in this case, just doing the manual work was like 30 minutes, but if I have to do something similar again I'll see what what might be possible with bifrost. I do love me some node graphs :)
