Where to find IoR value in https://refractiveindex.info/
I've been looking at this site for IoR value for some time. But everytime I get on this site it confuses me. Some element seems right some doesn't. Eg, plastics(under shelf 3D, book plastics). it says reflractive index n=1.48. I assume 1.48 is the IoR. I put it into some render engine like vray/mental ray. It seems giving… -
Getting good height from Nvidia-filter normalizing grayscale height
My workflow on some smaller objects right now involves creating minor details (electrical sockets, small switches, bumps) as a 0-255 grayscale height map with a 128 midpoint that I normalize with the Nvidia filter and overlay on a baked normal from max that I use to capture general surface curvature. Right now I'm fighting… -
Re: Project Anarchy - Havok's new FREE Mobile Development Engine
Hi Mangled Poly! I have a Macbook Pro 15'' Retina Display i7 (2012) but now the "Project Anarchy" does not work with it. (GeForce GT 650M with 1GB GDDR5 memory) But I have an old laptop "Toshiba" A100-376, with this feature, is it enough? (UDK have some difficulty running within a large windows). Processor Intel Core2Duo -… -
Re: Stacked UV Shells and Normal Maps
If you're using mental ray inside Maya, with mirrored shells like this, sometimes going into the Render Settings, into MR features, and then turning on "Maya Derivatives" fixes this. Doing this with the offset shells while transferring/using CrazyBump should help. If this doesn't work, and you have two shells on top of one… -
Re: Rawk - Post any rocks you make here!
Thanks Malcolm! +1 to this workflow, its super fast. The rock that I posted last page took only a few hours and that was my first time trying Malcolm's method. Also, I wanted to add a couple images I put together to show the power of derivative maps in Knald. Sometimes if loading something as a colour map doesn't give me… -
Re: MightyBake Tool Announce
Awesome! This was baked with the surface closest option eh? I have a couple more feature requests: Could you choose to have channel packed curvature or 3 individual channels, instead of doing all 3 at once? I'm thinking you'd probably only need one or the other. When baking a normal map, could I have the option of having… -
Re: IN PROGRESS: ID Color mask detection errors
I got a problem with maya 2015 and ddo 1.8 too. I have made my mesh (there isn't a different if combinded or completely seperated mesh), then I assigned a lambert shader for the whole mesh. Then I used Nightshade Blockout to dye the UV map to receive the color id map.After that I save it at a 4k res (I also tried… -
Sub Tiling Texture
Hello, This is a small tutorial about how to create a sub tiling texture. Sub tiling is pretty much the same as normal tiling only now the center of every sub tile can be unique. I made this building with this technique. I was working on some small modular wall pieces and thought, well how can I get rid of the seams. a few… -
