Re: How do Americans reconcile the concept of bootstraps with being a nation of fatasses?
ok sorry OX I didn't mean to get into an healthy eating discussion defending vanilla cakes over apples but I still think my point stands that many peoples idea of healthy food are not. And this is based on the thinking that Fruit and Grains are good and Fat is bad. I feel an important point is this. from wikipedia. Insulin… -
Re: You know its cold when....
Trenberth's views are clarified in the paper "An imperative for climate change planning: tracking Earth's global energy". We know the planet is continually heating due to increasing carbon dioxide but that surface temperature sometimes have short term cooling periods. This is due to internal variability and Trenberth was… -
Re: Poll: Metalness or Specular Reflectance (PBR)
Metalness not by choice but because it's what UE4 supports and that's really the only engine I use personally, and for work (mobile apps) my packed metalness shader is cheaper memory-wise than spec would be. @omar3d yep even if your values are very unrealistic it's still all """PBR""" just not matching any real world… -
Re: Knald - Master Thread
not really... (below is for the benefit of others because i'm pretty sure you know this already lol) Torrance-Sparrow formulation is just one of many BRDFs, all of which can be physically based if the math is right. The differences between them are the "shape" of the highlights. "Physically based" is more of a buzzword but… -
Re: Help needed My head is spinning
Syncsketch is a good place to upload, it makes it easier for people to look at. You have a pretty good start. If I ever have trouble picturing how something would look my first action is reference. Look it up, act it out. Heavy things take a lot of energy to get moving and a lot of energy/friction to slow down. You could… -
Re: Inspiration?
wow, super inspiring. in a cynical post-modern kid of way :P alot of the stuff resonated with my teacher Marshal Vandruff's ideas about making it in the art world. 9. Be boring. It’s the only way to get work done. As Flaubert said, “Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work.”… -
Re: [Riot Art Contest] - FemCharles
Reply by FemCharles · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Riot Art Contest› Riot Art Contest - Environment ArtSo thinking over my ideas again, and looking over some back story of the summoners rift level, i have decided (i think i have) to roll with the overgrown idea. What i find interesting about the summoners rift level is that the magic is so great it has mutated the wildlife, so i started playing with the idea that the… -
Re: PBR Workflow problem
I'm not really sure what else you want me to say... I even provided an example (using your own content) where a "noisy pattern" was used to create the reflective properties. you can still see the metal underneath, there's no trickery going on at all. The system works, you're trying to create a problem where none exists. As… -
Re: Crits Wanted on my work
JadeEyePanda, It is supposed to be some sort of energy, and would react the same, as in, producing light, being able to shoot it, etc.... The whole story behind the character is that this alien race decided that earth was their perfect planet,(cliched I know) and they released I virus to infect the population of earth,… -
Re: Is this good way to make PBR textures?
Because so much work is done for you - PBR shaders have far fewer inputs. For example, if you wanted to have correct energy conservation with your specular highlights with a shader that didn't have energy conserving specular - you'd have to do it by hand in your Specular Level and Glossiness textures. Now it's just done…
