Or, alternatively: You start by asking an AI how, so you can avoid interacting with other people. Then you ask an AI to choose which applications and engine you should use. The less you know about software alternatives, the better. Then you ask an AI which buttons you should press so you don't have to learn the software.…
I've simplified the concept because I don't understand the code at a super low level. It's still the same object during the whole process. Polygon models have indices of verts, edges, faces and so on, each component has an ID number and a value (and secondary values, like vertex color or skin weights). The history nodes…
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. I tried that unfortunately, UDK has a example custom node which has a UV and Sampler slots in it's Compendium webpage. http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/MaterialsCompendium.html#CustomTexture Problem is, you need to use a Custom node for the textures to get it to work, and the output for some…
update: solved, kind of. not worth investigating because advanced skeleton actually has a blendshape correction wizard, which if you use, makes it so that this problem isn't a problem. I had been adjusting the blendshapes manually. if using sculpting brushes on a non-skinned model, you can toggle the display so that the…
You're not hearing me, Eric. What you are describing is an Art-directors job. How many paid art-directors positions are out there? how many folks wanted to just have a comfy IT job without much management? Do the math. Corpos don't need that many visionaires, those seats are already occupied by their kids. And yeah, I got…
Yeah, evolution does happen. Still Substance Designer imo is an example of what could be perfectly artist friendly with just a little bit more conveniences here and there and less "program everything on your own" concept. Convenient 2d transform gizmo like in Photoshop with ability to scale precisely around chosen screen…
Code syntax coloring has been added. Use the Format dropdown to make a Code block, then paste your code into it. Code block features: * Colored syntax. * Line numbers. * Row shading. * Horizontal scroll if a line is really long. * Sorry no vertical scroll, wishlist item.
SOLUTION Ok! I found the real cause of the problem. The real cause is that Designer is exporting the Textures out at 16bit. Even if you set the Output Format to 8 Bits per Chanel it gives not a flying cluck. The real solution is annoying still a pretty hacky fix, but it works none the less. The solution is to put a node in…
Did you consider using any node-based shader authoring environments? I find it easier to work with, especially at first. Then after you're used to authoring with nodes its easier to transition to writing code. I'm a Maya user and later versions of Maya have the ShaderFX system which lets you create real-time shaders down…
Okay! First I want to compliment you again on how good it looks! I wouldn't be writing a critique this if your work wasn't this nice, and I'm looking forward your to next pieces. I've got pretty much only anatomy pointers. I tried to color-code so they're easier to read but the text colors are changing once posted, haha.…
