Re: Normals pinching on a flat surface?
Retopo with edge flow moving with the direction of the edges on the flat face, is solving the issue. -
Re: Useful UDK HLSL Trick
I would use a simple approach. Basically all you have to do is : ( 1 - glossiness ) * numofmipmaps. In my case it's 7. My setup : If your are using phong or blinn you might want to multiply your glossiness by 128 in order to get a range of 0 - 1 to avoid value like 180 or 200. But with a cook torrance or a spherical… -
ZBrush - Hypothetical ultimate feature list
Hey guys I'm compiling a list of things in ZBrush that I wish were done better, and things I consider to be bloat or just not really carrying their weight, curious what sort of things come to mind for you. Happy to talk about the good things too though! I might be working on something.. cons - constant document resizing,… -
[UE4]Soviet Flats Environment
[LAST WIP] [/LAST WIP] I'm working on a new environment inspired by the typical architecture of romanian buildings. It's still early wip, i am planning on adding some vegetation, more props like trash cans, light posts and garbage on the ground, maybe some bigger puddles and more decals like graffitis and more grime.… -
How to build joystick controllers using Maxscript
Useful for creating facial rigs, this JUST builds the sticks, it doesn't link them. I still need to tidy up the linking code (it works now, but it's still hardcoded in places), I'll post it when I get a chance. The fairly step by step explanation of how I went about this is here:… -
Flat-out head-on contender on PSP?
Tried several games now trying to find something as fun as this, have been playing it vs via WLAN on the train home - anyone found anything that comes close to the same level of fun factor as this? -
Re: draw cells vs more polys
Well let's do the math here. Assuming DXT1 as a basic texture format, normal map specific formats might be smaller as they're optimised for unit vectors. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S3_Texture_Compression#DXT1 16 pixels per 64 bits of data. 512x512 / 16 * 64 / 8 = 131072 bytes. Let's add mipmaps. Total comes to about… -
Re: Unwrapping a Sphere?
I am a bit puzzled to figure out what's your issue with the sphere here. Usually people just do geosphere from Max or isosphere from Blender, or just subdivided cube , make a seam along equator and relax two circular uv islands a bit . it's not a big difference really. Then you bake whatever hires mesh you have. Normal map… -
Flat ring and Tiling texture
Hi It's been a while since the last time I posted something but here is my issue. I'm trying to model a circling path and texture it with a tiling texture in 3DS max. But I get a lot of deformation in my UV and i'm looking for the best solution. I'm trying to keep the planks parallele. And I don't have the finest idea how… -
Unwraping a curved surface to a flat texture?
What I am trying to do is unwrap this corner piece and use the same texture for the floor that is going straight. It seems like no matter what I do I end up with horrid stretching. Is there any way around this or will I have to create a separate texture for this piece.(Trying to reuse as many textures as possible)
