Re: PBR : Albedo, k, Gloss, k, Reflectivity, meh.
There's two types of Reflectivity in PBR: Metalness and Specular. Depending on what Engine/Renderer you're using one of them will be preferred. For example, Unreal 4 prefers you use a Metalness workflow. Metalness is a typically black and white texture map. White is metal, black is not. Some things like rust you might use… -
Re: Local Image Viewer - TGA, TIFF, ETC
I used to use MysticThumbs until I realised it was grinding my system to a halt every time I looked in folders which had large PSDs in them (eg. several hundred layers, 2048x2048 containing diffuse/spec/normals/gloss maps) - I think it actually tries to read the whole PSD in order to build a thumbnail. I thought PSDs… -
Re: Sooo i just bought a 2013 Nvidia Titan 6GB
So 450 euros to USD is currently $511, and Walmart sells 32 oz containers of potato salad for $2.48 online which seems about right for the average ranges of potato salad. Long story short, I'd return the video card and buy about 412 pounds of potato salad give or take a few salads worth of taxes, probably can really only… -
Re: Abyssian Brute WIP
Here are a few screen grabs (the top two with the normal applied using Xoliul's shader) of my current progress. The current low sits at 15,222 tris, and I've some serious optimization left to go. My target is 14k. I've got two 1024's applied with most of the organic elements contained in one map, and all of the clothing… -
Re: 3ds max as a level editor
[ QUOTE ] Eric-What is a note track? I see that phrase mentioned a few times in the threads, but I'm not sure I understand what they are. [/ QUOTE ] Look it up in the Help! It's an animation track you can add in the Dope Sheet. Note Keys contain a bit of text, and can be time-sensitive. We place them on the time frames… -
Re: Registry clean up How TO?
Registry cleaners are unworthy of runtime. The only entries that are safe to remove using an automated tool are history entries, even then you have to be absolutely sure of the software vendor and or know what you are doing, otherwise say goodbye to system stability. But... One sure fire thing you can do is make a note of… -
Re: Recent International Grad
in my experience what happens is that any application containing decent looking portfolios will be put forward to the art department for review, which will then select the applicants they want HR to contact based largely on folio (and not care much about paperwork, probably only glance over the CV, likely have zero idea… -
Re: Splash Damage Hires Four Industry Vets for Multiplatform Mystery
"Studio hires people to work on game" ... I don't really know why this is news tbh :) It's cool though, Chris Sweetman was audio guy on Black, which although a straightforward shooter with lots of guns, if anyone has played it, they should know it had awesome sounds. that Tim guy is such a hack though... :D Oh, and just… -
Re: UDK Environment - NYC Train Station
Thanks for the advise guys. I did alot of UV work today and layed out the train on two maps. The one on the left contains mainly interior pieces and the exterior train roof. I split the roof in half, overlapped the uvs and scaled them up. I had gave it more space but since it wont be that visible to the player I had to… -
Re: Portfolio feedback
I think the portfolio itself and the work contained therein looks great, however you did commit the biggest sin any portfolio can make, namely disable saving images to the HDD. If you want a slideshow style presentation I'd try to go with a javascript version or something where images can still be saved easily. I wouldn't…
