Ray marching - Chapter 1 - The very basics and all about the clipping
Ray marching has become a very popular technique these days among real time artists and developers, due to the crazily increasing hardware speed. It was widely used in the past too, but mostly in offline applications because of its computation requirements. But luckily now we can have a glimple in our real time renderers… -
Re: Quixel SUITE - News
Thank you guys for the amazing feedback! I'll do my best to answer as thoroughly as possible. Bartalon: Thank you for linking to the latest version. This will make it into the next build. Jaidek: Yes! In 3DO you can turn PBR off, and when you set up your project you can load the "Base Definition" preset to quickly bake in… -
Re: Blended normals hack for fake SSS
Odium: I think Earthquakes comment was more directed at how little you seemed to realise the potential of this. Yes the original image was not the greatest example of it but it was however a first pass attempt and therefore required us to look beyond the immediate flaws as Arshlevon did and think of its potential uses.… -
Re: ZBrush - Hypothetical ultimate feature list
mmm, well I've had lights breaking when trying to use the mats customize utility to setup a scene once or twice, if that could never happen that would be great, it used to also get "lost" behind that preview sphere (you could click) to put the light behind the object, which kind sucked the 1st few times. Forget why i had… -
Do these metals exist in real life?
Hey Polycount, I got a question regarding the roughness found in metalness. COMPLETELY DISREGARDING non-metal/dielectric detail like rust,dirt,scratches etc, are there any real life metals that have completely blurred to no reflections at all? See the middle and far right teapots as examples. I understand metal on its own… -
Re: art dump
I like the badger, his hands and claws could use some work though, they don't look functional really, more like an awkward glove. As far as the upside down cross, it doesn't really matter what it's origins are if 90% of the people initially think "satanism" or "anti-religion" Thats like using the non skewed swastika and… -
Re: How to create Point Light Maps?
Oh wow, Thanks to Jeff Parrott, Swizzle, and indavisual for the examples and tips. We're got a project coming up that is going to include some workshop content as bonuses, so I'd like to figure out as much of this as possible ahead of time to reduce the amount of trial-and-error I have later. This will be a huge… -
Re: Artstation and tits
@ysalex Though IMO, I think a good basemesh would be more popular than a lewd art. I think I saw the ones you put up on fake accounts, and they look pretty neat :P A lewd art would be liked and viewed mostly by people who like to view it. Whereas a good basemesh, although albeit naked in nature, can also serve as an… -
Early-Late 2000s CGI/Game textures
How/what software was used to create PBR textures in the 2000s? For example, Iron Man. The reflective metal is something I've always been curious on how it was done for the time period. Another example is the older GTA's and Half-Life's. How do these textures look so real on the colormap alone? -
Re: Dota 2 workshop monthly unnoficial competition - August
@Gamer_Alien; As I said earlier, your dota 2 player approach is flawed because item votes aren't only voted by how good they are, but how popular the hero that such item is made for. Simple examples are a good Drow/Lina item will easily beat an amazing Enchantress item any day (that example might not be correct but just as…
