Re: Fresnel \ Rim lighting
This really reminds me I need to continue my shader for artist articles... the next one I wanna write would explain this to you perfectly. But yeah that doesn't help you much as it's not there yet. What you want to do is create a mask for the top/bottom thing. Based on a calculation the compares the surface normal with a… -
Re: [MAYA] My ShaderFx Uber Shader
I think I am starting to figure it out thanks! I have a question though, about another thing, can I output values from shaderfx? For example, I made an ocean shader that displaces vertex, can I output the displace value so I can make objects float? My guess is not, a really ugly hack would to displace the vertex in a… -
Re: Degree in Architecture to video game environment design
I do not understimate the importance of the design process, in fact i understand that it's something really difficult which need special skills, not only patience. I wouldn't mind, though, if i was part of a team where someone made the design/idea and me transformed them into 3d:] Without that meaning that i dont want to… -
Re: Autodesk re-structuring and slashing 1,200 jobs
Yep Autodesk stocks tanked yesterday after their earnings report. I am not really a fan of their business practices, from what I have gathered they buy up any promising IP and assimilate it into the Autodesk model of big business which means corporate politics, backscratching, opening "administrative" offices all over the… -

Hey All, Here is my submission: ---------------------------------------------------------- Story: In his heart of hearts, he is vainglorious; but in truth, he is a wretched monument of shame. Once a stubborn prince, twisted into a gruesome monster, to mimic his cruel heart. In his air of arrogance, he is transformed into… -
Re: Observatory- Environment WIP thread
looks sweet. Since there is some electicity involved could those machines have some wires as well? Because right now the design suggests only liquid related function. If water is being transformed into electricity there could be also wires ind isolators:… -
Re: UE4: Terrain/mesh Normal Blending
That's exactly what I was looking for! :D Thanks, repete! I just wish Mr. Lazarski would have included a screenshot of the entire master material, to make it more clear exactly what each part is doing. I don't really understand how the material works, and it's not obvious to me how the different parts fit together. If I… -
Re: symmetry issues
In Maya, did you: Delete history? Freeze transform? Run opimize mesh? (you wouldn't guess that this could fix these issues) On Export, did you: Save as .obj? Or is it .mb (or .ma or w/e)? Save as a new file? (sometimes zBrush - or something else - caches the file, so changes don't actually update If none of these work,… -
Re: Maya 2016 Uv mapping Laggy
yeah, first thing i tried was delete history, freeze transforms ect. the model is a typical humanoid character model for a game so if anything its a bit low on the poly's. I tried model clean up too just in case there was some weird geometry causing issues. I ended up powering through the lag and just brute forcing it.… -
Re: Maya Vewport problems with large scale scene
Glad to know it's not just me, I've had the same issues and noticed the further away from scene center the worse it gets. The only workarounds I have are to either freeze transforms if possible; via rmb in the channel box you can freeze only translation if keeping rotation is important. -or just work in a smaller scale…
