Re: xNormal - MASTER THREAD
The CUDA memory required needs to be split into two components: 1. Node pool. It's used for the spatial acceleration structure. Usually 16/32Mb should be enough for a 4M poly mesh. 2. Triangles. The mesh itself. Each triangle occupies 48 bytes. A 4M poly mesh will occupy around 192Mb. If you set 450Mb for the nodes(that's… -
Re: Looking into Blender as a replacement for Maya for create Films and Game Cutscenes.
I'm an immersive art artist who uses Blender. I've never applied for a job in the game industry, so I'm still an outsider to the sector. However, I use almost all of the tools that are common in game development workflows. I think Blender has a manageable learning curve. It offers many advantages. First of all, it has an… -
Re: Krita--Master Thread and Google Summer of Code 2014
Yay, I am glad you like it! It was my GSoC :p We came up with the idea after I was toying with the color smudge brush to make direction maps, and then on IRC someone said like 'oh, but if this could be attached to tilt...' and so the idea was born. I am really excited to see what kind of things people are going to do with… -
Re: Watermill Environment - No Rest for the Wicked
I have been working on my roof, and I am considering two approaches to achieve results similar to No Rest for the Wicked. Since the game uses a top-down view, their roof tiles are quite flat because they don’t require much depth. However, this wouldn’t work in my environment, as I want it to work well from multiple angles.… -
Re: Tilling normal on another normal map
Or you can do it with nodes. Note that the first 2 lines are unpacking the normal maps from 0-1 space to their proper range for this procedure, so you'll want to translate that for use with your existing assets. So your base normal will need its blue channel doubled. so multiply it with a vector 3 set to (1,1,2) The detail… -
Re: Autodesk Maya help! Trying to build an animated texture rig
You can either use expressions or connect attribute nodes directly. Maya is all node based, so just because something is a geometry or NURBS node doesn't mean it can't be fed into a shader node. If you select a polygon or NURBS object in your main window and open the Hypershade window, and select Graph > Input and Output… -
Strange results when using wrap mode in Zbrush
Hi! I just found the rocksculpting tutorial by Arif Pribadi(found here: http://arifcreations.com/blog/2012/01/21/tileable-rock-texture-in-zbrush/) and thought I'd try to follow it. Sadly I didn't make it past the stage of trying to set up the plane to sculpt on, instead of it following it correctly i got this: where it… -
Blender Edit Mode Performance
Hey, I experience awful blender performance when switch to edit mode even with low to mid poly models (50k etc.). Is there a magic button in the settings that i missed to enable? I got rtx 4080 with i9 14900 and whatever ssd and ram that is best. -
Re: Green lines in Substunce Designer really work for someone?
I'll grant it's not obvious which is the primary input if you're in compact material mode and it's a pain in the arse that on occasion the primary node is hidden by the UI in non-compact mode. but... The primary input is defined by the subgraph you're connecting to - If when you made your own graph the application overrode… -
