Re: Leaf/cloth shader = shadows on back?
Hi,I've been something in something like you recently.But there is no good way.I saw http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Normal_map#Back_Lighting_Example。 I think he did not use the shader to make the backlight.But through the normal map to achieve,Or modify the vertex normals。I tried it and he should be able to work.But the… -
Re: [Steep] Tech or method used to deform the snow ?
Please correct if wrong. The deformation itself is done in the vertex shader of the snow mesh. You sample the render target texture in there and then move the snow vertices down from their original position based on the colour that you sampled (the same colour that you're using to define steps on the render target). You… -
Re: THRONE ROOM - Forsaken Jungle - Alexander Cowan
Thanks Man, I totally agree with you on the scene needing some variation. I didn't have all that much done, and when time started to wind down, I had to pick my battles. Ideally I wanted a vertex blend shader that blended in moss dirt and even just color variation on the trim, and for the ground version have areas where… -
Re: Beyond Good & Evil 2: Fan Project
Well the building blocks for the buildings are certainly not done yet haha, because i struggle a lot with them because i'm not really sure how to approach them in their design and texturing. The others are 'finished', most of them have a few LOD's but some of them, like the bridge, have a higher polycount because i want… -
Re: [UDK] WIP - Mass Effect inspired environment - Team project (image heavy)
I Love it guys. It really true to mass effect, great job. I think that is just a little to shiny and clean. You could maby use vertex painting to make things look a little dirtyer and mix together seperate similar textures for variation. If you use the world offset position you can also warp the mesh a little to stop the… -
Re: Zbrush workflow for low poly normal maps
Xnormal or GoZ it to another app. Zbrush could be baking a fine map as far as it's concerned, but if the engine is going to calculate it differently, I don't think there would be anything zbrush could do to fix that. Also, don't have the faces sharing the same space when baking, just move them +1 off the 1:1 grid. Don't… -
Re: Tutorial: Zbush Tiling Textures_Overlap Sculpt Workflow
The overlap workflow is just like blend shapes for characters. The overlap.obj and the pattern.obj are the same mesh/point order, but the vertices have different positions. In zbrush when I drop to subd 4 and import the pattern zbrush knows its the same mesh and loads in the new vertex positions. That's why it retains all… -
Re: Am I stupid for considering this?
Para should be limited to Environmental large static pieces, such as walls, floors, ceilings etc...anything else, and you'll get nasty surprises. Glow is a must, if not, at least give the option of a non-glow emissive (meaning they don't utilize a buffer render). In that regard, are you creating a material editor? Or a… -
Re: Triangulation
You normally don't need to do this at all, only make sure that (if necessary) the vertex shading looks right in viewport. Sometimes that means turning edges inside the quads/ngons. Typically the mesh is automatically triangulated when exported. Cause actually it is always triangulated internally anyway. You just don't see… -
Re: Blue seams dissapearing from Unwrap UVW in 3Ds Max
Huh? 11 days? Time to re-examine your process I'd say. Many artists I know take 1 to 3 days, tops. Also, no need to save a .UVW file if that's what you're doing. Everytime you collapse the stack, Max just bakes the UVs right into the vertices, they're never removed. Besides, a UVW file is vertex-order dependant, so if you…
