Re: Blending Hi-poly Normal Maps with 2D Normal Maps
dunno if someone already said it. Painting in the stuff wont always work as the painted stuff is converted to normal maps as if it was on a flat surface (which it is in 2D). If you as example wanted a seam that goes through a large part of a model it would have to change the colors depending on the direction the faces are… -
Re: BRDF - anyone using this?
I worked with an engine a couple of years ago that used similar shader tech. It could do some cool stuff that I hadn't seen in realtime engines (and still rarely see), such as iridescence. You can make some trippy shader effects for non-realistic materials suitable for fantasy/sci-fi easily. I assume that once you work… -
Re: Mini-Project : Slurp the alien
what, like wake did something he should be ashamed of or something? looked like a helpful opinion to me. i think this model is beautiful, and you're doing a great job. i love the way you're treating the anatomy, but i agree with wake to the extent that the legs could be a bit shorter than they are now.. at the moment… -

UV mapping and Retopology (Current and future State)
Hello Tech artists, i like the process of unwrapping models and a long time have passed since ive done a serious UV mapping so im wondering about its current state : 1 - is it still used extensively in CG industry ? 2 - ive seen that automation has grown in CG in the form of smart materials and denoising algorithms, will… -
Sketchbook: CONKi
Long story short, I graduated college four years ago, made a wrong turn career wise, and have been heavily slacking in the art department for the past 3 years. So the point here is, I got a lot of rust that needs to be shaken off, edges that need sharpening, and other metaphors meaning I need to get gooder at art again if… -
Fox Engine: The Core of MGS: Ground Zeroes
I haven't seen anyone post this yet, and should definitely be shared. This is a great presentation of the tech processes behind the Fox Engine. Their presentations begin about 15 mins or so in (it's an 1:20 long). It's interesting to see how much of the process they describe mirror what we have seen in film, at least in… -

Bevelling, Smoothing & Edge Padding with Normal Mapping?
I'll just cut to the chase: I read that one can bevel 90° edges to make them smoother when normal mapping. I also smoothed the map, yet this was the result (which was slightly worse): That was done on a 1024 * 1024 map. Different values for edge padding appear to do nothing, so my questions are threefold: 1. How much… -
Learning hlsl ( how to/ where to )
Hello, I'm a technical animator that is currently looking to expend my skillset and I'd like to learn how to write shader in hlsl, but I don't really know where to start. I'm comfortable with scripting and coding so that part should be fine. But I do not know where to start, which engine should I use? I'm not really…
