Re: Blender Edit Mode Performance
Yeah, a screenshot of the UI or preferentially a video would help to understand what's happening and what's unacceptable performance for you. Here for example I'm on a scene with 2m tris and take barely a second to switch to edit mode on a 700k object on my old computer - and I'm okay with that -, while it can take over 3s… -
Unity character customization workflow
Hi guys ! I am working on a personal game project in Unity, in which I am trying to implement a character customization system. The idea is simple : Use a single rigged base character and use blend shapes to allow the player to customize it's shape, morphology, proportions and so on. Here is an example of something I did… -
[Minitut] Bent Normals
Recently there has been a lot of people on google+ hanging out and screen sharing. Whenever somebody is baking out/using a bent normal map a lot of questions get asked about what they are, what they do and how to use them. I thought i'd put together a small bit of info on them and what i normally use them for. If you have… -
Re: Is it correct to unwrap multiple objects into one texture or should it be done the other way around?
Another good example of where it makes sense to split textures up is alpha blending. If you have some small component of the asset that needs alpha, you should split that off into another texture set/material if you can. Generally (8-bit alpha, DDS compression), storing alpha doubles the size of the texture, so if only 10%… -
Re: Character design palettes versus environmental lighting & locational palettes
But that's what's supposed to happen, the environment lighting is supposed to interact with the character -- this is the only way to create a mood / atmosphere. A dark scene with a green fill light and bright yellow rim light, for example, it will affect your palette but the player still has the dark and bright hints to… -
Re: [UE4] Stylized Character Game Model: Roxie - Looking for feedback
I spent the weekend reviewing the examples you posted @Ged and searching out a few more like them for reference. Using those, I and spent a day working to make the topology more consistent with the corset as you suggested. I've done nothing with the head/hair yet. The legs+feet got the most attention. (Note the arm cannons… -
Re: Sketchbook: Airfreshene
And the last and most recent thing I have done is added a day and night cycle… now at the minute is unfinished, I had started by attempting it in matinee… bad idea… its fiddly, rotations are a pain in the ass with gimbaling and it cant remember the lights assigned colour for love nor money.. Matinee needs an upgrade… so… -
Re: Shader trouble.
no offense but you're making some pretty basic mistakes here. float FS = max(0.0, KS_Skin_Specular); here you're calling functions like variables which is such a fundamental mistake i'm honestly impressed you got this far. float ndoth = dot(_Normal, H); float spec = ndotl * _Spec * frSpec; not only are you calling a… -
Re: Advanced damage/dynamics systems
That's some great feedback there guys. =) Regarding the car/power station example, I understand the need for the mechanic to be actually worth while because as you said, it may, as you said, not even be seen. Which is something I will need to look into for my project. The general focus of the project started on the idea of… -
Re: General Retopology question
I don't think there is anything wrong with having a technical discussion about the pros and cons of the tools we use. It's part of the art process after all. If anything, it's a good thing to have a breath of opinions to go by when getting recommendations. Look cryrid, you haven't suggested BPR is better just like I…
