Re: Unity Lightmapper question
That'll make thigns a bit easier, but we have duplicated meshes and props all over the place... The whole implementation is just a little stupid right now, it costs a LOT of time to get this one, good GI pass that works for everything and not being able to just bake in separate passes is... GANRFHGHHG! Also, Unity really… -
Re: environment uber shader request?
I get your point. that you'd make sense in a realtime engine with optimization in mind, while I was mostly interested in having a proper visual feedback in a 3d package. Even tough, in my opinion, blending textures for a terrain only make sense because you want to preserve a high pixel ratio without spending too much vram.… -
Re: Symmetry issue involving normal maps
To be honest I didn't have a clue why but I did have a forum post bookmarked from the epic forums where someone said, "this is due the way the shadow maps (not the lightmaps) are encoded with the normal maps. Because the shadow maps are used for static lighting, these artifacts will be merely visible or won't be visible at… -
Re: Merg: Monster hunter
higher res version : http://features.cgsociety.org/gallerycrits/20090/20090_1168727780_large.jpg Thanks guys, tremulant, well to be honest I think I changed it enough that if you hadnt seen previous shots with it on, you wouldnt make that association. I've made it look like it is simply stripes with stars inside and I feel… -
Re: Real Time Plant Growing
I was thinking more about this last night.. what if you developed a system where an invisible spline reaches toward the goal (light or whatever), while a visible mesh grows along the spline dynamically? Leaves and branches could be done seporately using the morph target idea, or vertex animation, and then spawned from the… -
Re: RTS texture sizes
Unfortunately I don't know the tech specs of the game yet. I haven't purchased the engine at this time and this is an idea in its infancy. I'm thinking of being able to have up to 200 lowpolygon units onscreen at one time. There will be no pixel/vertex shaders. No bump mapping or realtime lighting. I'm not really asking… -
Re: Light coming behind a door
Perhaps this will help? https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Engine/Rendering/LightingAndShadows/Basics/index.html "Larger radius lights cast softer shadows (like area lights in most major 3D authoring packages). Since this is being processed by Lightmass, only Static lights will gain the effect." You will, of course,… -
Re: New comp build, need your advice :)
not necessarily true for all ATI card types. i been using ATI Firepro W7000 and works amazing well with most pro 3d apps. max, maya, UDK4, cryengine3, toolbag2, knald, mari, mudbox, topogun, abobe CC collection, etc. what is even amazing is that is plays all latest PC games with directx11 features with high spec at nearly… -
Re: The Monthly 'Newb' CHARACTER Challenge | July 2014 | Multiple Pieces
JimmyRustler: Nice blockout. PyrZern: Bakes are looking good so far. Is that a cast shadow down the center of the left pec? independ-hans: You might try to pull the mouth and nose out a little bit. Maybe check for "cat skull" references. You are making good progress. --- I made some time for the mech. I made a base mesh to… -
Re: Rendering PBR metal rough in Maya
With Stingray you'd have to capture your viewport for video, it doesn't do rendering, just realtime. I've never used the feature, but "playblast" is what you'll want if you decide on that route. You can playblast anything the viewport can do, AFAIK, so if you find another shader you like better, that's also an option.…
