UV Squashing in Borderlands 2 on masks for color tints.
I wanted to share something I came across while looking at models and textures from Borderlands 2. There is a 3D model called WreckedVan that is used all over the game. It comes with a 2048 diffuse map and a second packed mask texture. The size might seem large for 2012 but given that it was standard practice to give… -
Re: C4D Project Neutron
On the C4D café forums one Admin writes it works with up to literal millions of instances in viewport and they are planning to rewrite everything to this new (I assume ECS?) based architecture which then is similar to houdini nodes at first it seems like but then later will be the core of all operations, so you would be… -
Re: Tips on building light substances
- Try to work in greyscale the most as possible (avoid greyscale -> color and color-> grayscale - Use the standard blend mode - For alpha blending: use the opacity input of the blend node (instead of injected the alpha in the foreground) - If the UV layout is composed of multiple parts (face, eyes, whatever), generate each… -
Code for Artwork exchange?
I'm working on a new iOS project for iPhone (it's simply a racing game around a few tracks). I need to implement a gas pedal on the right, that when held down accelerates my vehicle. I need a brake pedal on the left that when held down causes a drifting style brake (adjustable slide in the inspector would be awesome). I… -

Re: Forum features wishlist
Well, I've been looking into some of the formatting things. Why does the post editor not look like the eventual post? * Vanilla has hard-coded the editor styling into the html, so I can't override it with CSS. Changing this will be expensive, but we might do it anyway. Pending. Can we change the editor to HTML mode, or to… -
Re: Sketchbook: Zetheros
No lowpoly yet, but more polish. Replaced the internals with synthetic digestive organs protected by a removable internal panel. Added rivets and hooks. This is a great example of how functionality drives aesthetics. Everything is designed with intention and not because it "just looks cool", and the art is better served… -

Re: Code Snippet Holder for Maya
Joakim - This is excellent :) I have two questions. I put the userSetup code into my userSetup.mel file, correctly me if I'm wrong, shouldn't this load the script menu automatically when Maya starts, or must I always run this command first ? def MyScript(): #Code MyScript() When I run the command listed above, the script… -
Re: Maya 2009 polycount wishlist
I'm no programming expert but I always imagined something like this would fix the problem. //fake-code Layer_1.rename('High Poly Helmet') would intelligently replace the spaces with underscores or maybe add a label attribute to be the layers visible name in the layer area. Layer_1.relabel('High Poly Helmet') and then the…
