if you mean the new shadow map caching, this is only a performance optimization for moveable lights to not update the shadow map each frame (since you can reuse the information from before if nothing has changed) and tbh this is an optimization that should have been in there a long time ago. Unfortunately it won't do…
You were doing great with your first thread (3d work showcase), you were adding daily updates. But then you stopped. And then you made a 2nd thread with only one post in it (eyeball), and a 3rd thread with again only a single post (pre-final wip). Those two are bound to get less replies, both because they are "1-post…
+1 for the beard! Next stop, Zangief :) It sounds like you want to increase his bodyfat % which will make him look bigger, but less defined or "cut". Here's a few pics of Hafthor Bjornsson (aka Thor aka The Mountain from Game of Thrones) with higher bf %:…
Last Call... We've had many quality applicants in the last week, and we are excited at the team that we have built just from the wonderful community here at polycount. So a big thanks out to them for supporting upstarts and the artists behind them. This is the "Last Call" for talent as we are launching our crowdfunding…
Couple things you can do. 1. Graph Editors > New Track View. Right click the title bar, pick Load Layout, Function Curve Layout. 2. Re-open the file to close the missing curve editor, Graph Editors > Delete Track View, select all Track views from the list. Then go to Track View Curve Editor to open a new Curve Editor. This…
So some stupid correlation based on 1 teachers observation. Guess where aggressive behaviour in children REALLY comes from: PROBLEMS AT HOME. Most of what we read regarding violent games are conservatives, and anti-vaccination crowds. Basically a large group of people who have absolutely NO clue what they're talking about.…
My wife when she was looking for a new job as a sales person, applied to almost 40 companies across the span of 3 months. She only got 4 replies and none of them accepted her. What i'm trying to say is that not receiving response from employer is just the way it is. Not just CG, but every thing. Consider a privilege if you…
Actually, this part depends. A lot of 3D programs I have done or researched are heavily segmented. While there are classes on 3D art, there are also many other mandatory courses that don't have a focus on 3D. Examples include; an English class, life drawing, and even programming. Classes themselves also aren't very long to…
I thought the same, but read page 1-2. If you don't eliminate the gradients all together it doesn't quite work that way. aww yiss I'm wondering this too. Seems weird to apply noise to the 16bit source, then downscale. In a similar train of thought (and looking at that bc5 goodness) I wonder how mips are handled. Like if…
Development diary week 1 part 2 I then built some pillars as the your a key asset in the level and scatter them across key locations within the level. Now was time to add the essential element of the level, the throne itself and I made a few changes from the initial designs by having the throne float in the air. The engine…
