1. Fresnel sounds like you are on the right track. But you can always go into advanced mode and see the inside of the fresnel node, copy what is there, paste it elsewhere and modify it to do something better (whatever that might be) 2. You can do this in a variety of ways. you could apply a custom UV set to your mesh that…
Beautiful lighting man. It has a very friendly feeling to it. But one thing seems off: The light coming in from the oculus at the top is supposed to come in at a cone. But your cast light on the floor is EXACTLY the same size as the hole on dome, which looks strange and unnatural. Your cast light on the ground is too…
So i have the same problem here. I'm using packed textures to deliver Roughness (Red Channel) Ambient Occlusion ( Green Channel) and Cavity in Blue Channel. I already setup the texture node to be masked instead of color. And my packed texture its already in Maked mode instead of DXT compression. But i still not having the…
Okay so I finally got around to doing this. 1. Uninstalled driver through device manager clicked delete driver as well. 2. Booted in safe mode. 3. Had to uninstall driver again because even in safe mode it auto reinstalled as soon as the computer started, I hate that feature of windows. 4. Ran driver sweeper ticked the box…
I'm using a Dell XPS M1730. It has a T7700 (Core 2 Duo 2.4) with 4GB of ram (I'm using XP32 so it's only showing up as 3.18GB). It has dual GeForce 8700M GT's in SLi mode. This laptop's GPU can be upgraded to the 8800M GTX in SLi mode. Cost was around $3000USD one year ago. I guess a computer of the same strength would…
Cool found some more stuff to try: (sry i am not trying them, but looking for resources for you, let us know which work.) .Source: official MS-windows link (just showing where i got links from) https://github.com/Microsoft/DirectXTex https://github.com/Microsoft/DirectXTK Assuming this is the 20 year old addon link you…
This is awesome, love the diorama, and the direction you're inspired by. I searched this game and found what I hope is a representative image: This game looks really cool, great inspiration! It's important to note that this uses lighting and post-processing to change the "look" of the assets. I think they are using PBR…
Im having to repeatedly scale sets of vertices so they occupy the same position in space, and I'm using Soft Selection to influence their neighboring vertices. I'd love to have a MAXScript that does this in a single button, but I'm MXS illiterate. I tried using the FlattenX/Y/Z meshtools, but they ignore Soft Selection.…
Hi, I'm trying to create shader for masking detail texture to multiply with metalness map.Her's my model with albedo, roughness and metalness maps on - no albedo or detail maps added at this point: I already have mix pass for albedo and now I'm trying to perform similar to reflectivity map. here's albedo part (it's working…
I had a play around with it, and I'll just copy what I wrote elsewhere: "While I love that their nodes and painting software are tightly linked, something I’ve wanted (and asked) in Substance ever since the start, after half an hour of testing I don’t think the painting side of it is sufficient for my needs.
I’ll stick…
