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… -
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: Gradient texturing on modular tiles causing visible seams
You need to remove that circular gradient or combine it with what OkiDoki suggested to have sort of a variation. There are certain texture patterns particularly gradients that are not possible to be seamless thats where in between parts come in to hide those seams. Blue orange and black will also bleed on UVs of your floor… -
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: Anybody here from the old Milkshape 3D forums ('97-'01) ?
I went looking for the forums recently, as now UT2004 got re-released , I couldn't find any other way to do some playermodels than Milkshape. I think I bought it twice over the years as I kept forgetting the code / losing the email I regged on. Must've been 2002/2004 I last used it. Would be cool to see the project picked… -
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… -

Does it even matter anymore when it comes to what 3D app to use for portfolio?
For the topic of Maya, Max and Blender, does it matter when it comes to portfolio nowadays? I mean specifically for modeler positions. I know that in archviz it seems Max is still widely preferred, but when it comes to games it seems not to really matter considering how many jobs list "Maya or equivalent" or "Must know…
