Re: Layoff update
Thanks for the responses everyone! Thanks Eric! :) That's a great point and it’s something I am learning now. On a positive note, I am having a lot more fun now that I get to work on my own things, even though I am making negative money doing it lol… Zetheros, I still don’t know how bad it is. I just interviewed for a few… -
[UE4] Vertex Paint shader (with two material blending, water painting and optional displacement)
For another project I am working on, a requirement I have set myself is that I will need to be able to use vertex paint some meshes. I have been doing some research based on this requirement and how to develop the shader, and thought it would be good to share my findings and hopefully help out anybody else looking to learn… -
Re: Maya rigging issue: Flat Eyes
So, I just got an sample working 100% in both eyes. IDK when i'm gonna be able to record a good video, so I'm going to break-down in general the process behind it. First of all, just bend deformers if your going to animate in Maya work well just like the lattice deformer. I don't think you'll able to use strech/squash… -
Re: [UE4] ~ Interactable grass, how do I make it react to every PC and NPC?
No. Use a texture and a loop. Looping the pixels of a 1d texture would look like this in a custom node: Inputs of the custom node: Tex - Your texture XRes - Texture resolution The actual code: float StepSize = 1/XRes; for(int i; i<XRes; i++) { float3 RawValueFromTex = Texture2DSample(Tex,TexSampler, float2(StepSize * i,… -
Re: Scripting streamlines your 3d workflow
The maxscript listener code is fine, as long as you take the core of it and wrap it up nicely. Everything in the listener is written specifically for the objects that it is dealing with at the point, so I normally add a layer of abstraction. A simple script that I use a lot is rotating a character. I build my characters… -
Modular Floor Tiles - Outlined in Shadow
I spent 2-3 late hours yesterday trawling the boards, and the internet, trying to find a fix for this - I found a couple of threads here (Specifically this), but none seemed to be the silver bullet I was looking for. Please note, I'm trying to fix the floor first. I figure it'll be the same problem with the walls. Surely… -
Re: The Bi-Weekly Substance Challenge (2018 Challenges)
Thanks @capone! Its actually not so tricky. I just mask off more and more dense cell nodes via the inverse values of the prior cell noise. I'll edit this post tomorrow with a lil guide. Super simple technique! :smiley: Update: Edit: Here's how I restrict smaller cracks to places where larger cracks join. Its just a mask… -
Re: Image switch
Indeed, it would be more efficient to use the "switch" mode of the blend node to choose either input, instead of using the "copy" mode and zero/full opacity. If you need to choose between more than two inputs, you can use the "multi switch" nodes from the library. -
Re: Example of a good looking unity game?
As part of your question you noted that it seems everyone in 3D Art Showcase & Critique uses UE4 to showcase their work, and you'll find that it's largely because as an artist in UE4, you have a lot of control over your materials that you just don't have in unity, without using either a plugin(normally purchased), or… -
