Help me understand the Normal node
Okay, I'm still pretty new to Substance Designer and I'm trying to wrap my head around how the Normal node actually works. I've made a small example: Tiles generated in Substance Designer Tile map converted with the Normal Node inside of Substance Designer Tile map converted with the Normal Node inside of Substance… -
Substance Designer to Painter, Edge Detect Node breaks. How to fix this?
I'm creating a basematerial for Substance Painter in Substance Designer. Everything works as expected in Substance Painter, except for the Edge Detect node I used in Substance Designer. As you can see in the Substance Designer screenshot, the Edge Detect node created the desired black&white mask. Whereas the Substance… -
Re: Can't sample textures in ShaderFX custom code
Got it. For some reason this is missing from docs. Docs include code for GLSL_4 that only works in swatches. The code for GLSL_4 uses the texture node: float3 t = texture( SFX_TEXTURE0, float2(UV.x, 1-UV.y) ).xyz; While OGSFX uses the sampler node. float3 t = texture( SFX_SAMPLER0, float2(UV.x, 1-UV.y) ).xyz; Problem… -
Re: What AI do you use to solve CG software puzzles ?
"What AI do you use to solve CG software puzzles ?" What I know and what might come after are derivatives of what has been learned and can be figured out. There aren't really any "puzzles" anymore. Short answer: I don't use AI to solve puzzles and give me answers/write my code/make my nodes. But AI is a really good… -
Extra shape nodes in maya
I'm currently making some tools to cleanup empty shape nodes in maya. I know that the shape nodes are essentially containers for vertexes and so on but does anyone have any insight on why maya would create an empty shape node? Is there anything wrong with just deleting these shape nodes? They seem to cause a lot of… -
Node based planning program?
Anyone know a node based planning program where you can quickly make nodes with text/images in them, and drag relations to other nodes? I was looking at the nodes in UDK and found it so much easier for me to gather my thoughts by using it, however I need to for planning and structuring with other programs/tasks. Anyone got… -
Re: Clayform Sculpting App
@zetheros hey cool ideas, the first thing that came to mind was scaling UVs to edit tiling density, but you might also be able to do something like HP sculpt layers like ZB has, but then scale the detail in those layers via a scaling brush (up or down) before projecting to the mesh. as for sculpting tiling textures, imo… -
SD: Make a Node tile repeat on an input.
I have made a Material node thats 1024 in size. My final image is 4k, I need that material node to repeat 4x across the image as the input. So it will in short tile (repeat the process) its node processing every 1024 tile on that 4k image total. I thought this was done with pixel size, but thats not it. I cannot split the… -
Touch triggers not working
I've been working through a tutorial where the camera view changes based on a trigger that's activated. I finally got all of my code to compile, but when I went to test the script out (created a trigger and connected it to the "top-down" node of my Kismet action), it did nothing. I'm not sure what I did wrong or how to fix… -
Re: HLSL - Scene Texture in a custom node ?
Hey Froyok, i know this is a necro post and all, but you can access the SceneTexture inside the custom node by using the following code float3 output = tex2D(SceneColorTexture, ScreenAlignedUV(UV));
