Re: [WIP] Stormveil Castle - Isometric Game Environment
Hey, thanks! Yeah, instead of transparency I should have said translucency, as I'm refering to the Blend Mode of the material and the fact that it uses a dither pattern to fake that effect. You can see in the screenshot that the Blend Mode is set to Masked. PrismaticaDev video is a great explanation of why I'm using that… -
Re: Maya: lambert bastard 1
My simple explanation: Lambert1 is the default shader in Maya. Its node is hard-coded into the shading and particle engine, and its not like regular shading nodes. You can see this yourself in hypershade. Select Lambert1 and hit 'input and output connections' or >> . You'll get two nodes branching off, one is… -
Re: parametric primitive addon recommendation for blender? (plus any other essentials)
Sverchok addon https://github.com/nortikin/sverchok Kind of a Houdini or Max Creation graph for Blender. Have lots of parametric primitives or ways to create your own. A little bit too deep and low level but having a few nice features I have no idea how to do in Houdini or MCG. Works just fine with current Blender version.… -
Max 8 figure mode bug?
I was wondering if anyone else had come across this problem in Max 8. At the moment it doesn't seem to be happening to all characters, but to a fair few of them. They were all built and rigged and animated in Max 7. If I have saved a character with Figure Mode switched on, when I (or others) load it, it is still in figure… -
Re: UDK vs unity and whats the most next gen looking game on unity?
Assuming you're doing things yourself, I'd recommend Unity. Its much easier to rapidly iterate a useful product even if you're "doing it wrong". UDK and Unity are both highly capable, but they each are a different philosophy of "how to make a game". Which one resonates with you, and what your end goal is, will determine… -
Re: Tip-Zero Effort Beveling for normal maps
in maya 2009, what i do is set the bump map in the slot provided by the mia_roundcorners node and then change the bump mode. heres what the bump mode does according to the docs. bump_mode defines the coordinate space of the bump_vector, as well as that of the return value of the shader itself (which is also a vector), and… -
Re: The Snow and Ice of Uncharted2?
Lamont, yep, I was thinking the same thing. Could even just be a drop-shadow or something I guess. However this sort of thing makes the shader more complex (and expensive - although I have no idea how expensive it even is at the moment by current shader standards!). I messed up something tonight though and appear to have… -
texCubebias blurred reflections
How would one go about making a shader in UDK that blurs a reflection? I cant find any info on blurring a cube map in the engine unless maybe in the dx11 version. I want to do it in dx9. Would I have to manually make 4 different cube maps myself or can I use a custom shader node to write the hlsl myself? I've tried the… -
Ti5 codes for fellow workshoppers
Hi fellas, I just had the idea of a thread where we could organize some codes for fellow workshoppers that don't attend the event. I personally would love to get some codes from our dudes from the workshop - I guess Valve will do the same like last year. So if the time has come and the codes are ready I would suggest, that… -
[General Discussion] - Nintendo DS Friend Codes
http://www.sinistergfx.com/polycountds/ I decided it was about time to have a central place for our Nintendo DS friend codes. I took the liberty of adding friend codes that I found in old game threads. If you'd like to be added, just post the game and your friend code here. Remember: to be able to play against each other,…
