Heya to all, I was wondering if anyone knew of image editors (like Photoshop) but set in a Node editing kind of way (a la UDK or ShaderFX)? I know so far we have Substance - Allegorithmic, but it has a really high learning curve (even for someone coming in from shader based knowledge, since alot of the functions are hidden…
I recently bought an intro level tablet which came with Zbrush core to learn how to sculpt a bit better before I decide whether or not I wanted to purchase the full version of Zbrush. I'm not sure if I'm just "dynameshing" wrong or if it's core. I'm a bit more comfortable in 3ds max when it comes to controls so I figured…
there is also "Mental mill - artist edition" which is node-based just like ShaderFX, and comes free with Nvidia's FX Composer 2.0. the app is standalone and can dump shader code, as well. (fx composer itself feels a bit bloated imo) the Cg Tutorial book, eventhough old, has some nice basic stuff. The Cg Manual (in here…
Hi Polycount! :) It’s been a while. So a while back I posted about being laid off from my last job as a Lead 3D Artist. I am sure I speak for many people here when I say that I really really dislike the job search. I interviewed at many of my “Dream” jobs/studios. But unfortunately I never had a chance to get past the…
It seems like a really lame insult to me. I mean of all the things one could think of to insult another artist, is "pixel pusher" really the best they could come up with? At the end of the day, it's just obnoxious elitism and there's absolutely no end to it. This happens all the time when it comes to programmers and it…

Hey guys, Substance Designer seams to be lagging without any nodes in the graph. This lag goes away when I restart SD but comes back after a while.. any ideas? I've tried adding an exception to the Allegorithmic folder in my anti-virus but still no luck :( System Specs: GTX 1060 6GB i7 6800k 32gb RAM Thanks in advance!
@Eric Chadwick Thank you! Im having alot of fun messing with this, especially at this stage where everything is really coming together visually. Also yes that gif is super helpful! Ill mess around with how I can get a similar effect with my post processing next time I work on this!
Simple automation tools are easily done by chat GPT. Blender is where it shines actually. What I'd love to see is a kind of deeper Blender customization. A 2d vector editor mode with editable spline brushes driven by grease pensil. The whole "draw" mode is quite inconvenient currently . I want something like "skeletal"…
The maxscript listener code is fine, as long as you take the core of it and wrap it up nicely. Everything in the listener is written specifically for the objects that it is dealing with at the point, so I normally add a layer of abstraction. A simple script that I use a lot is rotating a character. I build my characters…
