Re: How do you use IRO for opaque materials?
You can read more here about how IOR fits into the whole shading system: https://www.adobe.com/learn/substance-3d-designer/web/the-pbr-guide-part-1 However this doc isn't really written with artists in mind, unless they're already pretty technically-inclined. It's written more for graphics engineers. But you should still… -
Re: Mental ray in Maya 2012
Considering Autodesk's own rendering engine is childs play, I don't think it's wise to design a rendering engine around the software instead of designing software around the rendering engine. You put an engine in the car, not the other way around. I'm glad they've both made steps towards this plugin. It sounded like we… -
Re: DNF 10th anniversary
Wha..? iD made quake 1,2 and 3, and made a new engine each before they made doom 3 and it's own engine. Once DNF is released, they need to have a special edition that includes all versions from previous engines, I still would love to play the version I saw a trailer for on the Unreal Tournament engine from over 5 years… -
Re: Normal maps never export correctly - UV Seam Artifacts
I think its because your baking software and rendering software is not synced. Check the Handplane thread to get more info about this "synced" thing. If you want to show your final normalmapped model in Maya, then I recommend to bake your normalmap in Maya. Because probably its synced with itself.And if you want to show… -
Re: Knee-Deep in the Uncanny Valley
[ QUOTE ] again not something that needs to be "implemented" in code.. we do this, its part of the rig, no programmers required. [/ QUOTE ] Please correct me if I'm wrong, but you're engine still has to read that rig right? As far as I understand typically eye controls are done using look at constraints with some sort of… -
Metahuman rigid body physics on skeletal mesh - issue with retargetted animation?
Hey! So this is outside of my wheelhouse and I'm lost. I'm working on a character that has a lightsaber hilt on her hip, I want it to bounce and move as she walks/runs etc. I may be doing this completely wrong, but it's been working so far for me. I created the clothing and brought them in as different skeletal meshes and… -
What it takes to get in the Game industry?
I am soon to finish high school and in need to pick a college(if thats how its called) to go to. Now im having a lot of conflict as to what college i should go to,as it determines what i will do in life. So im currently finishing engineer high school and "looking" to go to a state engineer college as that way if i am good… -
Re: Why you should NOT trust 3ds Max's viewport normal-map display!
Vassago: It would as long as you convert to your game engine's tangent space! There'd be no point converting to an arbitrary tangent space (eg. Maya, Max etc) if your game engine doesn't use exactly the same calculations. Ideally either the engine would be set up to match a certain preset, or you would add a specific… -
Re: 3dsmax, Saving animations
Normally you have an exporter for the specific engine. Most of the time you have to define a certain range for specific animations and such like 0-29 = Idle , 30-59 = Walk,60-89 = Attack and so on. I don´t want to be rude but why bother with a Java 3D Engine? Why not stick with Ogre3D, or more complete engines like Unreal… -
Re: Your opinion when using 3D modeling software as a level editor
its probably pointless to make any general suggestion. if you have a specific project and goal in mind it may be possible to consider how certain tools could help. in general, having steps between edit the level and play the level is worse than having immediate feedback. if you were remaking goldeneye n64, as an example, I…
