It would be done when the lighting is baked in the engine. You could set up nodes in the editor that have a radius of influence and each pixel could decide on an averaged view direction based on those nodes.
I can't seem to find the blend node instance in SD5? Any idea if they renamed it or am I just blind. I'm not talking about the greyscale blend node but the one that was in SD4 :) Thanx in advance
Hey all, I'm to blend two textures in Maya LT, for example, a brick texture and a dirt map texture. In full Maya I would use a Layered Texture node in hypershade but that node isn't present in Maya LT 2016. Any help?
You don't need the local aligned texture nodes either - just plug the textures into the material node. Then scale the mesh UVs in your 3d app. Doesn't matter if they extend outside the 0-1 area
If it doesn't need to be real time, mental ray has a node that can make use of vertex color data. For the 2 UV sets I think you can use uv linking to the texture2d node.
I'd suggest you get a node-based shader editor like Shader Forge or Amplify Shader Editor. You'll need a shader that performs really well, so only add the nodes you need.
This is a great first step! Wayfinder has a neat "painterly" style. Note that it usually takes a few years of practice and creation to learn the skills needed for this kind of work. We have some resources on our wiki that explain some of the work necessary to create work in a similar style.…
hello i made these dreads and more specifically the gradient on them with the gradient texture node: they look really good! however i used an object as reference for the positioning of the gradient for some of the outlier dreads and now whenever the dreads object moves the gradient moves. i dont really want to unwrap and…
Yes, and that's exactly what I want to do. My goal will never be low-poly production for games or animation. My only aim is the production of 3D hard-surface, and later, organic and artistic models. An example would be a rendering of a spaceship flying in a valley. Or a steampunk boat sailing in a sea. My interest is to…
Filter forge has a cool Loop node that allows to make a "Slope blur" doing it not only 32 layers/samples/iterations max but whatever you want with just one node , not a stairs you have to make manually? Do somebody know a way to recreate this ?
