Only now that I have been in the market for a new machine have I realised what a confusing mess this Intel iSeries of cores is. Can't get a single straight answer on the net! You would think that i3 is the worst, i5 is the middle ground and i7 is the best. But apparently that all depends, and an i5 can be better in one…
Chapter 1: https://polycount.com/discussion/208918/ray-marching-chapter-1-the-very-basics-and-all-about-the-clipping/p1?new=1 Welcome to the second part of the ray marching tutorial series. If you've seen the first part, you are already familiar with the idea, so I won't go into much details regarding the basics. Lets jump…

Project Stealth is a new game in development based on the SAM gameplay. <u>S.A.M. Stealth Action Multiplayer</u> Working Title: <u>Project Stealth</u> =>visit us at…
Thanks @WadeWT , that gives me a lot to go off of. I don't know nothing about writing shaders beyond basic work with the UE4 material node editing (which I guess is just visual shader scripting), but maybe with a few weeks of research and experimentation I can come up with something decent. Maybe that is totally…
Sorry about that btw. It was my fault for assuming you (or anyone else for that matter) would know what to do with the code. The deeper I get into coding myself I forget what's "common knowledge" and what's not. I guess it goes without saying even though it's probably obvious at this point, but I'll mention it anyway just…
Im reading up on some baking guides and was confused on where the rays come from and where they go because some guides say the rays start at the low poly and go out until it passes through the high poly getting the details. Others say it comes down and hits both the high and low getting the detail from the high. I read the…
One of the coders back at 38 helped us come up with this exact same series of nodes. He called it 'sphere mapping' though. Dunno if that's some official technie-graphics-programmer term or not. Pretty cool stuff though!
Just getting into 3d isbe quite challenging. And getting the prop modelling gig aint the easiest. Since most like it so much so they tend stick to that once they get it. To myself, its a dream gig. Just make models and get payd for it. Nowadays thats something i do for fun, then sell the modells on turbosquid for…
This isn't going to be just a material solution. Its a combination of material and the hit detection portion of the game. Using UDK as a base look in the "takeDamage" function of the actor class. Included in that is a vector for hit location. So for your player class using this material you're creating you can have a hook…
Hey everyone! I just got into scripting a couple of days ago and I want to start tracking my progress and potentially get some pointers and some feedback from more advanced scripters. I'm still very new and my stuff is super simple, so don't get your hopes up for anything awesome. Here's the first script that I made. I got…
