Re: Random ray misse
I've tried doing things like merging into new scene, converting the mesh etc to try clearing any possible corruption but it always creeps back in at some point. It does it on freshly made box primitives so it can't be something wrong with the mesh. I've tried Supersampling. It's just a form of AA so only results in… -
Re: Rendering floating geometry in maya?
Normally you want it parallel to the surface. What he's talking about by the indent at a 90 degree angle, is this, you need to slope the sides of your indent so they capture better than if they where straight. The red lines are rays that will be cast down onto the surface when you bake a normal map. Notice the rays aren't… -
Re: Emissive Help
I wrote up a short post expanding on the shader (though focusing on the HLSL side of things), and also updated the function a bit. http://teckartist.com/?p=26 int bands = 4; //this is the number of value bands to split the rangefloat range = 1.0 / bands; //range of each bandfloat ReRamp(float val, int band)//val is the… -
Re: Your Turn
:thumbup: Games that send you through the area multiple times to achieve an ultimate task are fun or memorable. Games that have you complete the task and move on to the next eye popping over-lit area repeatedly usually aren't. I remember every area in Majoras mask down to the last pixel because of how many times i had to… -
Re: BLIZZARD Styled Environment Art WIP
Oh I forgot about the whole duplicating layers thing to deal with the crazy rainbow pixels that appear when you sharpen too much, thanks Jessica! Edit: Alllsoooo one last critique for now. I'd go back and paint some more depth into the stones around the doorway and stairs. It goes from the light hitting the stone to just… -
Re: Normal map baking problem
You are giving him that advice without considering where the object is going to be viewed. If he has a TB synced workflow that is fine, if not he is likely to have shading errors. Those issues on your hard edges look like a problem from not padding your normal map. stick a big padding value into the bake output (32 or 64… -
Re: Cube Map Issue
Green line is normal. It's showing an area off the renders or frame buffer. And yes you'll need a 2 vector rather than a 3 for a 2d texture lookup rather than a cube map. Just mask off the blue channel of the reflection vector. Also FYI the reflection vector doesn't take normal maps into account by default. Often not an… -
Re: Portfolio Feedback/Breaking into the video game industry.
- Thumbnails aren't really interesting. - More presentation. Just a render isn't enough to show your skills. Show wireframe (especially if it's low poly), show poly count, show texture map, show high poly shot too. - Don't show WIP. Finish it first, then put it up. - Your Resume page doesn't have 'Back' or 'Home' button to… -
Re: Best way to optimise UV space for a cylindrical object
Make sure you are paying attention to pixel density, throw a check board texture on each model. More UV splits are going to increase your tri count, just remember that. You shouldn't put 2 seperate uv islands right next to each other like you are doing with the side pieces on the bottom left side of your UV maps. The sharp… -
Re: Any opinion on this monitor? LG 29UM65-P
I just got a Korean panel monitor and I love it, I'd consider getting one of those instead. I got the QNIX QX2710 Evolution II, great colors, even better than my Dell Ultrasharp, 1440p, and can overclock do 110hz. Also lower input lag that multiple input IPS displays. The biggest draw backs are single input (dual link DVI…
