hey @coolguyslims Do you know that there is already a node in Unreal that does a world aligned blend for you? It's called "worldAlignedBlend" It looks like this: And the neat thing is that this node is just a connection of other nodes. So if you want to see how it works you can double click on it and see inside it. For…
I am aware of the composite and ramp nodes, the problem are the nodes for entering the number values. I am also not sure if there is clamp node (min=0 and max=1)
Hi kunalht, I can give you my personal series of study references. Keep in mind it is my own study path, not what every TA should know. As a matter of fact "technical artist" is quite a blurry definition, they can be more art oriented: artists who can script a bit, or more code oriented: coders who write tools for the 3D…
As some of you may have noticed, I have started a patreon page where I plan to make tutorial series of different topics. The first one is already started, and its about hlsl in Unreal Engine. This series is for people who just gets started with the topic. Basic node based material knowledge is enough to join, because we go…

Re-watched The Thing recently because of this thread :lol: One note (possibly mentioned before): shading of some elements has very strong gradients making them look blobby/ undefined: Is it supposed to look like that, does it look different in your modeling software, like hard edges? I would always double check that the…
I haven't actually tried this, but my guess is that yes, you can. Here are the steps I'd take in trying to experiment with the setup: * Make Sure to name the Scene Node for your weapon the same name as the node the bone attaches to. * In WWMT, make the Model Name the weapon model name. * Move the weapon to a position such…
New question here. I want to export a mesh from max to crysis 2 sandbox. The mesh consists of one main object and 4 subobjects assigned to it via schematic view. For every part I have set up a material in max as a multi material. The material with the sub materials exports fine from max; But I just cant assign them to the…
man'o'mule: The fresnel term is really a 0-1 range based on the camera to surface normal dot product I think the math goes: (((LookDirection dot Surface normal ) *-1) +1) ^FresnelStrength Which, if applied to specularity or diffuse, makes pixels brighter the closer they are to being perpendicular to the camera's look…
set selfillumination to 100% put diffuse into multiply RGB node, or composite node and mulitply the lightmap over the diffuse. you may need to increase the output of the lightmap it the bitmap node.
