Re: UDK - Nature Scene
nice enviro coming up :) It feels a bit chaotic imo. The usual mistake that I seem to notice in natural enviros is the logic of assets' placement. I would place grass/shrubs around stones and trees first of all; smaller stones around bigger ones etc. Same goes for vegetations looking better if places more along those… -
Re: creating normals from alpha/heightmap inside a shader?
Gave it a try out of curiosity. Here's the multi-sample method in a stripped-down surface shader. I had to change the handedness from the code above to match Unity (changing the sign of the operation when sampling the e and w values from + to - and vice versa).Shader "Debug/Normal Map From Height" { Properties { _Color… -
Re: Struggling to bake local position to vertex color in MAXscript / MCP for blendshapes in Unity
Interesting. Yeah it's squashed because your vertex color is normalized while the bounding box is not cubic. But still you'd need to scale in Unity to get the desired size no ? Because here it's 1*1*1 right ? -Either you scale the object in max/unity to get the correct bounding box ratio at the end. -Or in Max you scale… -
Re: usb hard drive very awesome!
i have two dual-port u160 scsi controllers in one of my machines. does 80-90 megs/second off a single drive (10 000 rpm), around 150 megs/second sustained off two drives sharing a single bus in software-raid. since i have four of those busses, three of them are raided-together and non-raided drives for backups and one for… -
Re: "Point Cloud" Shader Technique
float zgrid = length(grid.xy - 0.5 * scale);float xgrid = length(grid.yz - 0.5 * scale);float ygrid = length(grid.xz - 0.5 * scale); should give you points, fmod basically chops values into segments each of the length [0,scale], the grid coordinates. Think of tiles, every tile has a local x,y axis. points within a tile go… -
Re: Vert colour blending material
Cheers Adam, Are you talking about how the vertex colors are blending between vertices? If you're painting in full color, I don't know that you can get that blend, as its a hardware level lerp, and you're not wanting a linear gradation. If you go back to painting masks you could get an adjustable gradation like that a… -
Re: Building a voxel sphere?
some maxscript may help you do the same in maya fn voxel_sphere radius segs = ( size = 2 * radius/segs; for h = 1 to segs do -- height (z) for w = 1 to segs do -- width (x) for l = 1 to segs do -- length (y) ( -- compute the grid point pos = [-radius + ((w - 1) * size), -radius + ((l - 1) * size), -radius + ((h - 1) *… -
Re: Lerp 3 textures
you could use an "if" node if your engine has one since it has 3 outputs? you'd need one of the states to be exactly equal to though so it would work as a switch rather than a soft blending. what sort of variable is it you want to pass to this part of the network? i've had a quick play with using multiple lerps and come up… -
Falloff Script for Max 9 - Is this possible?
Okay I've been trying to find an answer to this question, maybe someone here knows the answer. I'm not too great at scripting. Basically, I have this script that I found that increments the falloff value of soft selection by a value (for example 0.5). This can be bound to a key so that every time I tap it, I can increase… -
