Re: 1px border in (normal) maps from xnormal
thank you for trying again. this whole thing is very weird. i extended the uvs of my lowpoly just a little bit beyond the -1,1 space on those sides that had the 1px border. with those modified uvs, the border disappeared. interestingly, i did not even get errors on the opposite sides of the -1,1 space, where the uvs are… -

Re: Simple Normal Map Question
FYI It's to do with the direction that DX vs GL renders. GL renders from the bottom left -1,-1 to top right 1,1. DX renders from top left -1,-1 to bottom right 1,1. The result is the same horizontal scan, but inverted vertical scan. Hence why the green channel in a DX map points down, hence why Allegorithmic name their… -
Re: Object space vs. tangent? (Character model)
similar to the tangent stuff, you could encode per vertex a "mirror axis" to make object space maps that are mirrored. Though I am unsure if this has been done before. the artefact thing is indeed true, mostly you have XY from -1 to 1, just like objspace, but Z normally is 0 to 1 however I also think most software you use… -
Re: 3D Realtime Character [WIP]
I tried to use a custom shader in fx composer and also there the normal map looks fine with an other preset hlsl normal shader: when its right in maya (but its openGL) and right in fx composer (with directX), there should be a way to correct this within my shader.fx file. But unfortunately i very new to shader programming… -
Re: Building a workstation for home, need input
I still get very high to max with most games on a single 9800GT with 1 gig vram, a $130 card, I just wouldn't go overkill too much on the graphics cards, some games still don't use SLI every well. There's always better and fast cards coming out every year, I just stick with whats the best price, $600 on something that wont… -

Re: Epic game jam in the UK
Train 2 Game= For £135 quid a month, you get some intro dvd with some industry experts that I've never heard of prattling away and not hearing much substance, and a course book that I got half way through within an evening and still hadn't learnt anything new... and a game making software which I think is freeware or very…
