Re: [WIP] Waterfall night time scene. Got some questions
On both of my monitors I can see very little. It is almost entirely black. It might be worthwhile to work with the scene in grayscale and find a value range that makes for a distinct foreground, midground, and background. Just because it is night doesn't mean has to be pitch black. A full moon reflects a lot of light. As… -
Re: Hardening edges in Max
Thanks Mark! For the most part I'm fine with smoothing groups, this is an example of where I ran into the problem. I want the red line there to be hardened. Really I'm just wanting to make a lowish poly model to mess around with some hand painted texture practice on. Nothing special. I just wanted to give myself visual… -
Re: Dominance War V Begins February 28th
Let me first just make this very important point before I say anything else: Copyright was a law born about 500 years ago when the printing press was invented. It was feared that people would print seditious books against the church and monarchy, so they made it illegal for anyone but government approved publishers… -
Re: Down in the Dumps: Whatcha do?
Nope, that's meditation. Some people just need the host of things in order to be able to go blank. Some don't, but it still counts. I tend to go for meditation, video games, or ranting at a close/sympathetic friend. Games are good for the angrier side of things as I can take the aggression out on pixels, ranting is best… -

Also canon EF lenses are very… -

Re: Importing low poly mesh from zbrush and maya have different results. How come?
if you want something out of zbrush to have soft normals you need to use the FBX pluggin and make sure to select the soft normal box. I would recommend passing the mesh trough maya before going UE4 tho, as you will want to name your materials and UVs and those tasks cant be done on zbrush. -
Re: Glowmaps?
no I am not downplaying it, (although my "just" seemed to have created that impression), I love the idea of node driven editors. I just wanted to point out "free" alternatives. (MentalMill is also nodebased). Granted that if you want to do shaders for 3dsmax and such without some more .fx knowledge, ShaderFX is the tool to… -
Re: Splintercell: Chaos Theory
