Re: Post process inside geomotry?
Hmmm...I think excluding objects from the post process is a very brittle route..Those are full screen effects. You'd maybe be able to exclude an object via a color key or possibly depth, but for what you're talking about I don't think that'll give you very good results Normally what you'd do for this sort of thing is use a… -
Re: Gaming trends you want gone in 2014
Valid business strategies here JC but you are speaking as a developer. Most gamers are not developers and quite rightly don't care about the behind-the-scenes financial intricacies of producing a game. Despite this being a game development forum, most of us here are/were gamers and are speaking as such in this thread.… -
Re: New to 3D modeling
You should start with 3dsMax or Maya for modelling and put UDK on the back burner for a bit until you get basics down. Check out 3DMotive.com and Eat3D.com to help you get started with modelling. That aside, UDK's "material editor" is a node based editor that allows you to create shaders without having to write them in… -
Re: Random function?
Hm...i cant quite visualize what you're saying, but I've used simple 1x256 textures to drive 'random' aspects in materials/FX/lighting etc. Essentially you fill the texture with grayscale noise, turn off the texture filtering, make sure it's set to tile horizontally, and run a panner through it so it… -
Re: L4D2 SDK to feature more options for modders.
If you guys are really interested, I'd love to have some motivated people on the team of our L4D mod. We're on hold because L4D2 is more awesome and like the topic suggests, there are more possibilities, so we will possibly rethink what we have so far. So we have time to make plans before the SDK is out. Here is some work… -
Re: Maya, create (convex) polygons collider for game
Hey, Thank you guys. Well actually, Maya can in fact generate collision hulls with its own physics system and/or with PhysX plugin, but they can't easily be converted to polygons. There must be a way, because you can do almost everything you want with maya, you just have to know how to, like taking points from anything and… -
Re: wacom sensetivety
[ QUOTE ] email wacom? I'm assumine in 6 years they have updated the technology. I cant stand how my tablet clicks/drawn when simply pressed down. I'd rather hold a button or toggle it on and off so I can plan my strokes (beavis laugh). I mean seriously... mayhaps wacom already does this? [/ QUOTE ] Do this: - Map the tip… -
Re: Help needed: Artist diving into shader programming!
hrm... so I guess inside nvidia fx composer it's just that my light color wont allow me to to above 1. I'll have to add an intensity multiplier like you suggested. Thanks! However I'd still like to look into doing the diffuse calculation in an additive manner. Because my end goal is to create a shader that takes into… -
Re: Skin shader mk2 - preview pimp
Vahl: are you using max 6, 7, or 8? Unfortunately max has had some bad issues in all versions with the data it spits out for viewport rendering -- max8 seems to be ok with most issues (including mirroring uv's) but still has a few problems. Weiser: just start pulling apart the .fx files that come with max and reading… -
Re: Portfolio Critique
Hi, Your pieces show an attention to detail that serves you quite well, however your individual prop and material work is lacking, and your composition tends to be unfocused and far too busy. To me, there are 3 main problems, each feeding into the other: 1. A lack of compositional hierarchy. The narrative of your pieces is…
