I just wanted to follow up real quickly! The OneMinus trick does not work. I pointed out earlier that the issue behind is more systemic of how the system is interpreting the roughness map. Right now, a value of zero will give you a sharp, clear highlight and will also use the highest quality cubemap (the non-mipped…
If you need your game to be as open-source and budget-friendly as possible, I would advise developing it in Actionscript 3.0 with the Starling framework. You should be able to use AIR for cross-platform support. This route will allow for nearly-free development without any licensing fees. The access to the full source code…
Different ways to do it however the following should give you an overview: -You have a basic character mesh for the character (nude character more or less). -Several basic character meshes are sometimes skinned to the same skeleton for the animation. This is the case in games such as World of Warcraft (male and female…
Anyone know a node based planning program where you can quickly make nodes with text/images in them, and drag relations to other nodes? I was looking at the nodes in UDK and found it so much easier for me to gather my thoughts by using it, however I need to for planning and structuring with other programs/tasks. Anyone got…
And you are right, but I'm way more interested in waiting to see who is interested than showing what I have in mind. As I probably said in the previous Posts, the our Dream Team would wrap the Project around his Core Team and not Wrap up a Core Team around a Project. NOTE: there are things I can't talk about here - I…
Tangent baking issues are never obsolete :) But, 3dsMax has 3 different tangent spaces you can choose in the prefs to decide which one to use in the viewport. I tend to use the Maya one because it gives me better results and I like to use Turtle or Beast for baking the maps. I think the legacy tangents are the default…
One of our modelers made some new road textures this week. One of the blueprint guys got a major section of core code completed this week. Looking for more people, especially CSS website coders and animators!
I'm creating a basematerial for Substance Painter in Substance Designer. Everything works as expected in Substance Painter, except for the Edge Detect node I used in Substance Designer. As you can see in the Substance Designer screenshot, the Edge Detect node created the desired black&white mask. Whereas the Substance…
As per request, here is how I made my camera system for my game. Place a player spawn somewhere on the map. Make a Tagpoint and snap it to the terrain, at the level where the players feet would be. Place a camera and move it to where you would like to the camera angle to be. Link the camera to the tagpoint with the link…
