Re: Persp / Orthographic camera toggle script for Maya
I'm not quite sure what happened with the code I had originally posted here. Maybe something changed in the way Polycount displays code.. I honestly don't know why it got so messed up as I remember it showing correctly when I posted it. Here is a revised version. This should work correctly: // Orthogonal Camera Toggle… -
Is there any tricks to get a low poly cone to shade correctly? (Custom normals? geometry tricks?)
So with vertex normals, when you try to shade a simple cone, you have to use a lot of geometry or a normal map. Because if you try to use just 1 vertex on top, the back side will not shade correctly. And if you use quads with a flat cylinder top, you get these hard smoothing edges from the tris. I know the simplest… -
Blender 3.6/4.0 Alpha with SDF nodes. Did some one have it?
Sup folks. Unfortunately it looks like newest Alpha builds (which previously was contain SDF nodes such as "Mesh To SDF Volume") are no longer exist on official site. At try a several of them and even with enabling experimental features and new voluem nodes - SDF nodes are not there :( Maybe some one still have an zip… -
Re: Post your shaders!?
cmon dude, shaderfx is nodebasex, just screw around with the nodes until a descent result comes out, everyone could do that you dont even have to understand linear algebra (if youre not using the custim code node) http://www.lumonix.biz/shaderfx.html download, install, just do it ! -

Why Substance Designer feels so outdated.
While I still see no real alternative. Just wonder if it's only my impression. For years I see only cosmetic improvements . Node bypass been best of them IMO yet took decades of users prays . Coming to Blender nodes feel so much like breath of fresh air . Any custom node saved in a library could be done local to the file… -
Re: Newcomer with lofty goals, hoping Polycount will bring me closer
I think if you like both programming and art your best bet would be on technical art. Technical artist is a guy who serves as a bridge between coders and artists. Daily responsibilities can include writing shaders, coding tools for artists, setting up animation state machines, optimizing game assets, writing technical… -
Re: PC Problem, re-occuring blue screen
Ok, I looked at the first error code; http://forums.nvidia.com/lofiversion/index.php?t63287.html Seems to be a sata driver error BUT it would be alot more helpful if you explained about the error: when it happens, how quickly etc etc. The majority here are not Microsoft engineers so all these codes are pretty much… -
Re: Struggling with Shader Performance on Large-Scale 3D Assets in Unreal Engine 5
Not with any great confidence in the technical details - the issue was first raised by one of our render programmers after identifying huge stalls while profiling . The material that really upset everything featured nested branches that were driven by non-static boolean switches. eg.. bool /\ bool bool /\ bool bool (it… -
Re: xnormal 4.0 features
Here is a screenshot showing the xn4's shader editor: Node-based as promised :D You won't need to write a line of code. I think it's much more intuitive in that way, isn't it? It will be used for both realtime and offline shaders ( the node list is incomplete currently... when you select the "offline" mode instead of the…
