Re: [PBR] Physically Based Rendering Bible
Se we agree here; it's approximating. The part where I think you're off, is by assuming such an "approximated/hacky" material is mostly full, pure metal. A full white metallic should only be used for the pure metals. If something looks pretty close to it, use a halfway value. Using a full metallic value and then putting… -
Re: borders on rendered transparancy
But why talking about premultiplied stuff? If we are talking about sprite authoring like the OP does then its all about 1bit alpha masking. It seems like we are confusing alpha blending like in compositing package, with sprite making. For 3D sprites I think its simple really : 1 - render the cutout with anti aliasing off ;… -
Re: Exporting UVs out of modo
Appreciate the help guys! I ran a mesh cleanup (hadn't done one in too long), changed the UV set to "map1" and all this talk genwu's talk about cleanup made me think the mesh might could use a quick quadruple. I don't see a change but regardless, fbx is working just fine now. obj is still acting up but as long as I have… -
Re: Bioshock Infinite
Like I said: as far as I know. I'm not talking about politics generically, I'm talking about the fascist/nationalist/objectivism themes in Bioshock specifically. The Civilization series has a massive focus on politics - are you going to say that it is in any way like Bioshock? Yes, I know what the prefix 'bio' means. I… -
Re: Getting better at male character
Hey mazz, and Mr ace, Understand what you are saying but at the same time the shirt that the man is wearing on the picture and the one my character is wearing are really different. On yours we are talking about a kind of cotton-thin shirt and on mine we are talking about a thick wool-hoodie, those kind of material have way… -
Re: Creating a Metal Texture for Guns?
if you have photoshop, i think you'll live. i don't really do guns, but if you're talking CoD, battlefield, and MoH, you're talking about guns that already exist. you already have the textures of the real thing as a perfect reference for modeling and texturing, and can pretty much start with that texture as a base. from… -
Re: sketchbook: jouste
see... these are the kinds of explanations I wanted to avoid... grrr... we didn't work on anything together, I'm sure that would have been awesome though. We where talking: you working over a beer me over some of my sketches I might have been sketching a baby rhino or a catfish-man or something along those lines. then you… -
Re: Student Project Skylantis
you could try to talk to the university about getting class credit for the project, that way there is incentive for students who specialize in Audio, Concept, Programming, 3D etc. to help with the project for a semester to fill in some credits. I think for a student project you shouldn't be paying for outsourcing. Your… -
Re: creating ripple animation to be baked
Are you talking about concentric ripples like Mark's example? Or are you talking about larger wave ripples? There are many ways to do waves for a game. Are you making a game water surface? If you make a tiled looped animated wave texture, this generally sucks because you see the tile repetitions across the large water… -
Re: Maya Animation Workflow Tips and Tools Video
Hey Gwen, great talks and nice videos, keep up the good work. Your 'Weird Animators' talk at GDC made some of us chuckle at work. Just had a look at your shader ctrls, it's a neat way to work. Remember seeing something like this before but I wonder why no one uses it. And I can't agree more on the whole animating with…
