I actually think there might be several companies exploring and presenting different approaches to rendering at GDC. (such as this point-cloud solution) Ever since the the expansion of multi-core processors, the coding jedis have been exploring different avenues for handling 3D graphics. The current polygon approach is a…
I agree with every argument made here, even the ones that contradict each other. Another method I can recommend is getting really really rich, and then pay someone to make your games. But just coming up with game ideas is boring. Game development is rewarding only because of the endless hours you spend building the assets…
Hey guys I recently tried re-opening an older project that I want to take some renders of for my portfolio however it wont open and gives me the crash report below. I am worried that the file might be permanently broken. Is there any way to resolve the problem? MachineId: EpicAccountId: Unknown exception - code 00000001…
Issue with zbrush. When sculpting the inner part of the sculpt moves to a point beyond the outer part. It makes this strange thing happen where this can be seen but since it has some sort of backface invisibilty it can't be seen but from certain angles. I've tried using backface masking but that might be causing it to…
My guess it's a main reason why Marmoset once got extremely popular to do game style renders . Not Mental ray or Arnold . Wish Marmoset could provide same style on-line shader node editor Blender does . Plus some code export to show shader programmer or to chatGPT what you want. For some weird reason there's no convenient…
Hey Polycounters. I'm starting a new environment. I have a few goals with this project: to better understand PBR pipeline and techniques, improve my sculpting ability, and add more material types to my portfolio. I painted this concept in the summer during one of the Hand Painters Guild workshops. The layout will change,…
Honestly for your use case that seems like a good option. You have the option to run the GPU when you need it but can also just run off the iGPU when you're doing less compute intensive tasks (the GPU will not be quiet when it's running in the open air). On the other hand though - how different is that really from a…
Okay, so I've come across an issue with Subtance Painter and Toolbag 5. I recently purchased Substance Painter 2025 Steam addition and now most of the time when re-loading Toolbag 5 textures (I'm using Toolbag 5 for rendering) the application freezes. I can't use task manager to close and reset I have to do a hard…
lol, I audibly laughed when they kept feeding idiots out there to get shot. COME ON. It was like Star Trek times 3. Reenactment: Sawyer: "GET BACK!" BAM - idiot dead Sawyer: "STAY BACK!" BAM - idiot 2 dead Sawyer: "DON'T COME OUT HERE!!!!" BAM - idiot 3 dead Guess they couldn't hear him. I mean, if you hear mad gunfire,…
