Re: Importing animated UVs
Depends on the shader code. I'm guessing it's custom 'cause the built-in stuff doesn't have a separate alpha. Probably it's using the same offset settings as the diffuse at the moment. Worth checking that the alpha and diffuse aren't sampling using the same lookup uv (generated inside the shader by altering the uv coords… -
Re: The Great Gatsby Corner Room Scene
This has deffinately improved loads! I think there's too much bloom on those candles and they could use with an orangy tint. Some hard edges on the top windows too, but that's an easy fix. You might want to have a look at Colour lookup table, might help with the colour gradint etc. Keep pushing, this is looking very… -
Re: Creating a 1d texture
Now that I have it working, I can show what I'm using it for. These are my three 1x256 1d strips (enlarged to show texture!) And here is the result when using it as a shading lookup (this is inside Mental Mill) Hope that clarifies what I'm using it for. I think it opens up some really awesome shader possibilities. -
Re: The Gamedev Cast is answering questions about PBR!
If the Linear to sRGB converstion was a linear lookup, that would work. It isn't though, it's a curve, so what you're doing is inaccurate and incorrect. This should help illustrate the problem. What the math transforms do is apply a specific curve to your image, one curve to go Linear to sRGB, the opposite curve to go sRGB… -
Re: Diffuse Refraction material ala frosted glass
Haha, damn you Vailias, I was just about to post my findings :) I'll do it anyway, but what you have looks very promising - awaiting details. What I did was to use the SceneTex as texture lookup with Virtuosics example, but I couldn't get it to map to screenspace due to my usual very limited math muscles (do fill me in!),… -
Re: UV unwrapping - coloured unwrap render?
Do you mean like this? You could try some different textures; lookup UV Map in Google Images and you'll get the idea. Or more closer to your image, you can just set up the thing using a grey material, and yellow and blue (or whatever) directional lights pointing in different directions. I'm not quite sure exactly what… -
Re: Of Bit Depths, Banding and Normal Maps
Thanks for putting this together! Cool comparisons. Writing 3d unit vectors as 8bit Cartesian coordinates is such poor use of information that it's actually pretty surprising 16bit normals haven't caught on as a standard yet, at least to act like an archival format for assets. Then let the game engine convert into whatever… -
Re: [UDK] Havana Courtyard
@VladY the palms in your ref are the royal palms I mentioned, and the do look pretty bleached in reality but what you have looks fine. I thought coconut because the scale of the tops should be bigger, lookup royal palm and you'll see what I mean. Good call on the monstera they provide better cover and look pretty… -
Re: Captain America | Low Poly University Assignment
The best bet is not to look at conceptual reference for something you want to achieve a realistic look on, lookup bodybuilders and muscle's as well as human proportion. As you are currently working only low poly your best bet is to try and make sure everything works perfectly within proportion, at the moment your character… -
Re: Problem texturing a track for racing games
Okay, the same thing happens in Blender, it seems to have to do with mipmapping on the viewport. If I turn Mipmapping off in the user preferences, it goes away. Try it on 3dsmax, it's in Customize -> Preference -> Viewports -> Configure Driver -> MipMap Lookup -> None (I think only the OpenGL driver lets you tweak it).…
