Re: CE3 - Project Drift-pig
@Aga, cheers for the ref dude, the skirts issue in my model will definitely be addressed, i'm really unhappy with the way the whole arch area is looking at the moment, id like to get the skirts to smoothly transition with this area. Small update, ive been doing some work on the Rocker Cover, there are a tonne of variants… -
Re: Playstation 4 Thread
Bless you! admitting you are a graphic snob nowadays takes courage. Where any graphic advancement or concentration is somehow automatically shallow and tacky? sometimes the idea of returning to brush and canvas instead of realtime graphic aspiration sounds like heaven! Making pretty pictures without being second guessed… -
Re: Seamless Texture Generator
Downloaded your program and giving it a try. I don't understand why you choose to use ISO size (A2 A4 etc..) Aren't those format rarely used in computer graphics? Also not being able to make an image bigger than 1664x2368 (A2) isn't really nice. I like to use 2048x2048 for example. Is that a bug or something? Or did I miss… -
Re: Photo Realistic Nissan 350z
I'd say you could go 2 ways. Either get pretty technical and delve into advanced rendering techniques ... or just go quick and (not so) dirty with realtimes tricks, basically just applying a clean cubemap reflection on the body and hacking everything else - prelit background, alpha planes for shadows, and so on. You can… -
Re: Should i be working in PBR from now on?
I have never been able to get a weathered sword to look any good because I SUCK at spec and gloss. Tried out quixel for the first time and bang, pure magic! I have no idea why you wouldn't use the texturing apps available they are jaw dropping. Also I have noticed you can use presets as a start point and endlessly tweak if… -
Re: [WIP] Bond girl
Some more updates from today, changed her hairstyle- I wanted to see what I could do with her hair when it comes to the realtime version and I thought the bun would be a bit too easy and wouldn't allow me to practice what I wanted. I also gave her some skin detail with the new texturingXYZ stuff that also includes albedo.… -
Re: probably the best HDR on flickr
Realtime HDR does, yes. Like when you walk from a dark room into a bright courtyard. It takes time for your eyes to adjust, so everything is overblown with light. These static ones don't quite use the same principle. While they do show what your eye is capable of seeing, not even a human eye can discern all of these tonal… -
Re: My porfolio from 2003 to 2008
very impressive - its very rare to find someone who is equally good at the art adn technical side. Usually people tend to put themselves in a pre-defined drawer. I read about you once before on your leadwerks engine site and even back then I was curious what art you did before and meanwhile. Your engine and the editor are… -
Re: Getting "next gen" weapons to look good when facing away from the light
what erik says about the ambient cube map is bang on. another thing which can be nice but should be used with caution is a subtle rimlight effect (if you're using a realtime shader) so that geometry which is very perpendicular to the viewing angle gets a slight colour to it. Also if your surface is metallic or otherwise… -
Re: Creating a matte window texture
I don't have to do any shader work, no realtime reflection required, the car itself will only have a color map, so i just need the windows to look like they're made of glass, but not actually be reflective, the way i wanted to achieve this was to mix the color fo the glass with a bit of the baked reflection....the only…
