Re: Softimage|XSI 2010 : rendering alpha texture
I'm one of the few XSI users that frequent this board so feel free to PM or msn me with any questions. I tend to keep my transparency as a separate texture when working in XSI, there's ways to do it with alphas and png transparency, but I like to keep it simple. crtl+7 brings up the material manager, its a really simple… -
Re: What Are You Working On? 2012 Edition
More UDK shader wankery! Today I made a material that fakes thickness on transparent surfaces. Good for planks and fences and girders and such. [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqKG6FuABqE"]UDK Fake Thickness Material - YouTube[/ame] The concept is basically to offset the texture with a Bump Offset node (also known as… -
Re: [Redshift] Linear 3D gradient ramp
For what you want with the gradient, I'd stick with your original setup, unless Redshift can't use that for some reason. I'm not a C4D user, but I'd be very surprised if they didn't support it or provide a similar node. Either way it should be a matter of connecting the output from the ramp to the RS material wherever you… -
Re: 3ds Max: Texture Atlas with repeatables
OSL is a shading language, while Shader FX is a node based shader editor. AFAIK there isn’t a node based editor for OSL. Shader FX can save out a couple different shader languages I think, check the help. The shaders you create with it are only for real-time rendering, they won’t work if you hit the Render button. OSL… -
Re: Can I automatically save as version 2012 in max 2013?
Polygrinder: you can try this hack script. I call it a hack because it needs to add a scene node and assign it the scene name so that I can use the "uniqueName" method which only works on scene nodes. This gives me an incremented file name which I can save the scene with and then delete the node. I havent tested it much… -

Re: Windows 8
Contrary to much of the naysaying I'm looking forward to W8. A new UI designed from scratch that's fully hardware accelerated and doesn't require developers write code to refresh the window with as little flicker as possible in non-Aero mode. A move towards managed languages for cross compatability with Windows Phone and… -
Re: bit of a boring question for industry guys
I don`t know that there is a `standard`meeting quota if thats what you`re after, it`s been different in every studio I`ve been to. Most common I suspect is sub-teams (Env/Char/Design/Code) individually meeting once per week, whilst leads and producers meet pretty much when `required`. Edit, actually code and design are at… -
Lost Planet Colonies
http://blog.wired.com/games/2008/03/lost-planet-col.html I'm pretty fucking pumped, lost planet is by far one of my favorite multiplayer shooters. Funny thing is, I was playing it today and was really wishing they had a handgun. Well, now they do. I'm fucking sold. Ability to play as Akrid? Sweet, Capture the Flag mode?…
