Re: HLSL magic
there is also "Mental mill - artist edition" which is node-based just like ShaderFX, and comes free with Nvidia's FX Composer 2.0. the app is standalone and can dump shader code, as well. (fx composer itself feels a bit bloated imo) the Cg Tutorial book, eventhough old, has some nice basic stuff. The Cg Manual (in here… -
Re: Finished - Desert Communication Relay – Environment Scene
Another update for this week :) All images below are directly from Unreal Engine. Over the last couple of days I’ve been focusing heavily on refining details throughout the environment, especially terrain variation, material breakup, and overall cohesion.

Re: Pixel Pusher, You ever get called this?
It seems like a really lame insult to me. I mean of all the things one could think of to insult another artist, is "pixel pusher" really the best they could come up with? At the end of the day, it's just obnoxious elitism and there's absolutely no end to it. This happens all the time when it comes to programmers and it… -
Re: May the 4th be with you 2026
@pior Also didn't have a drawing tablet at the time, actually still don't but currently looking at XPen's Artist 12 for what I want to do plus within budget of what is affordable.

Unreal 5.8 Substrate Retroreflector Mat
I wanted to create a convincing safety reflector material for a future project. I spent a weekend toying around with it in the latest version of Unreal. Here is a description of how retroreflectors work: https://sky-lights.org/2020/08/10/qa-how-bicycle-reflectors-work/ These reflectors are cast in transparent plastic with… -
Re: Sketchbook: David Cruz

Yeah, i am testing taking apart the current setups of the current material shader options available and seeing what does what and then re-configuring them back together, its been a learning… -
Re: Scripting streamlines your 3d workflow
The maxscript listener code is fine, as long as you take the core of it and wrap it up nicely. Everything in the listener is written specifically for the objects that it is dealing with at the point, so I normally add a layer of abstraction. A simple script that I use a lot is rotating a character. I build my characters… -
