So this 3D engine I'm using(and I can't change the tech sadly) seems to use lightmaps(just simple 2D dds textures which are mapped to the second UV channel in geometry) in quite a particular way for large chunks of terrain. It seems to read the alpha channel from the lightmap and use it as a multiplier to the lighting…
Hey everyone, the other day I had a really interesting and informative conversation with someone on the UE4 Devs facebook page about landscapes and I learned alot of things that I was pretty fuzzy about before that point, so I thought I'd share the conversation with you all to help spread some of this seemingly rare…
I'm a bit hesitant about posting this, but I hope it can be helpful for people currently in school or recent grads. Someone on the hangouts mentioned this thread so I figured I'd write something up The early years: I grew up not thinking about being a 3d artist. In high school, I dicked around with Photoshop to make some…
Fixed it ... well kinda - Haven't tested it but it compiles now. I had to comment out some math in the Translucency lighting model function. Might looked borked. //==============================Info===============================/*Soft Light Skin Shaderrelease 1 (First public release)History: - R1 (10/05/2006): Initial…

Ok, I'll do 2 posts here. This is a noobtastic GI light dome but it works. I've got another one on my work machine I can show you on Monday if this doesn't work. It's real similar though. Paste this in the script editor and hit enter: //PrerenderPyramid v0.7 - (c) Dmitry "Troydm" Geurkov int $lights; float $intensity;…
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…
Here's a list of Tutorials that I've compiled. There mainly from Bookmarks that I have collected over the years. I have some more Bookmarked somewhere, that are on a backup, mostly SE2/CE2. A few of them are for Sandbox 2/Cryengine 2, a lot of them still apply to the new Cryengine 3 as far as i can see. Official Docs…
Sorry for the huge post here, but I just wanted to share the Bioshock Benchmark utility. I ran it at max settings at 1080p. You can see the average frame rate sits between 35-55fps. It's awesome having a laptop that is more powerful than my desktop :P I can't recommend this laptop enough. During the benchmark I could…
