It's definitely most awesome. It seems more like actually writing code in HLSL just with nodes, but to think about it, it might be not so comfortable for most artists since basic hlsl knowledge is required. The UDK editor eliminated a lot of that tech stuff. Anyway, Kris get hired by Valve in 3...2...1...Go! :D
lucky me not using shortcuts^^ i never thougt about that anytime in real life^^ lucky you being no coder, thinking about how to code how people acting, rain and stuff that happens around me drives me nuts^^ tight atm i see dead people, i think i need a nap
Getting the stuff into source is pretty easy once you get the hang of it, it does involve some trial and error and even quite a bit of reading and some basic understanding of some basic concepts of code. The Valve wiki is a good place to learn, also there are a lot of user based tutorials floating around the web. BUT and…
Traditionally in games you would have an attachment node and the weapons would connect to it. That way you can attach any kind of weapon to the node without effecting your main model, it also leaves it open for newer weapons later. Normally you could work on it all at the same time in one scene file and export separate…

I've no antivirus watsoever, the last (and first but I'm responsible I was foolish enough to bypass google warning message about the site I was visiting !) time I got something evil inside my comp was a few month ago, pctools2011 and it's a rogueware. What I've learned by studying various known virus/worm code, is that for…
No, it works on ALL triagles. Read it carefully, I'm not multiplying the height x width, I'm doing a cross-product between two edge vectors, and the definition of the magnitude of a cross product is that it is the area of the parallelogram formed by the two vectors. (from…
looks neat, reminds me of rtzen, just even more artist friendly than it rtzen but I think rtzen has died or so... also had another app in mind, a procedural texture generator which was similar intend on doing something similar (graph based) for luxinia's shader editor in the future as well. about the price, well…
Using Blizzard-style art as inspiration is good, but using them as primary references without understanding the core concepts behind arms and armour is bad; you'll be copying and incorporating their lack of understanding into your own work without realizing it. In the early 2000's basically nobody knew how armour worked…
Hello! I am finally starting this thread in Polycount. SHIFT is my final year project at university. We are producing a game cinematic trailer and I would like to share some progress here as an environment artist and hopefully get some input from artists outside of school! I will be working on the environment assets and…
