OK, did some more of my own tests. I get a completely flat face with a couple of the cube faces, which is definitely a good thing. In Photoshop I painted over the render target with 127, 127, 127 grey, then set the layer blending mode to Difference. This should nicely highlight any areas of the cube that aren't flat. Some…
Hi guys, I'm glad to see this thread around from the times I wasn't a polycounter yet. Thanks to Bitmap for starting it and to all of you who hanged around. I don't know how to say how much I strive for information about users experience with IllusionCatalyst. I requested good time lapses references (here) to see how…
Shader coding is a very specific field in itself often with its own quirky languages and requirements, you'd usually have a specific programmer or TD for that job. I wouldn't imagine it's common for any artist to need to know shader code for employment, although it's a very good skill to have - most engines will have…
[ QUOTE ] Well, as a systems engineer I can tell you that if you can put linux on this thing it would run games better than 75% of the machines out there. I'm going by the HL2 hardware surveys. I can also tell you that consoles are far less likely to need servicing than a PC. What he is saying is quite possible, if they…
This might be a bit of a noobish question, but I'm a bit unclear on this. I'm looking at some materials in an Unreal3 project, and instead of having a baked specular texture (or alpha channel, etc), a lot of the speculars are generated in the material node editor, along the lines of…
Much appreciated! I don't plan to stop supporting the plugin any time soon and I plan to give release the source code if it would ever come to that point. I'm happy to hear you found good use for the plugin :) Have a good New Year!
UPDATE: I have an update! SUBHEAD: Unexpected Pitfalls So I got sick of microslop's shit for the very last time in November of last year. I didn't post on microslop's forums that I was switching to linux, and then keep using microslop's products. I just did a buncha research about which distro would be best for me and…
Doy, that screenshot thing made me feel dumb. If I undertand the script correctly we have 2 modes, 'fullui' and 'noui', if I want r_lod 0 to activate, I can just add it as a separate line to the code and if I want it to only be active I in 'noui' mode I add it to that part of the code?
