Hey everyone, I guess I have been a little spoiled in terms of using meshed based decals in Unreal 4. The Material settings there let you have access to blend modes such as the "Dbuffer Translucent Normal" which is a nice way to blend only the normals from your trim sheets onto low poly meshes via floating geo. In Unity I…
I have a question for anyone with good Corel Draw knowledge. A friend of mine has been creating illustrations within the program and was working in RGB. His illustration consists of millions of nodes, each controlling a certain RGB level. Now when he goes to work on his .cdr files everything within the document is now…
I've been having a recurring problem in Maya 2011 for a while now, not sure what it's due to, probably some command I use, but I really can't seem to identify what it is. Regularly my viewport will stop updating automatically unless I turn or move in it. For instance I'll switch to vertex component mode on an object, I'll…
For my final project for second year of university I have functioning level to be about 5 - 10 minutes and I've decided to do a top down level set in a Solar and water powered facility. The gameplay will be fast paced, based upon the robot character having to escape. Some mechanics include finding key cards to overide a…

Out of the people I've met and worked with, a lot of the artists at big and small studios, acquired their how skills through self teaching and they refined their artistic talent…
EDIT I solved the problem. Draw Mode is still in Blender. I don't remember what I did to make it appear. Draw mode only appears once certain conditions are met. Although I lost track of the ONE forum post in all human existence that will tell you how to activate it. So here I be, creating a forum post for all future…
I agree on that. But you have to consider that not everyone have inclination to creating effect from scratch by connecting nodes. It is just harder to get nice looking end result in SD than id ddo. But once, you master SD, you won't really need to fire up photoshop and ddo ever again. Especially with Painter coming up. I…
Yeah, my problem is that the project I'm working on is Unity 5, so my options when it comes to shader magic are extremely limited. Still, I find it so weird that I can't get this to work. I've been searching quite a bit on this subject and I've seen several people with the same issue, but not a single resolution. I've…
