Re: BRDF please help!?!
PBR are render guidelines to assure that rendering looks the same across platforms that incorporate PBR workflows. BRDF on the other hand is an algorithm that calculates light. PBR render engines use the BRDF algorithm to calculate light. From PBR's wikipedia:"PBR topics that deal with surfaces often rely on a simplified… -
Re: Game Industry Layoffs - WTF?
Nikhil, the “culture war nonsense” you’re talking about is only one facet of the greater issues of macroeconomics. I’m not nearly intelligent enough to articulate this, but I’ll go out on a limb and say that it moves the needle very little comparatively, and just extremely prone to algorithm bias. It seems like publishers… -

Standalone - Node-Based Image Editor
Heya to all, I was wondering if anyone knew of image editors (like Photoshop) but set in a Node editing kind of way (a la UDK or ShaderFX)?

UE4 Diner in the Desert
Hey Polycount, I thought I'd make a WIP thread for my University honours project. This is only my 2nd scene using UE4 and PBR texturing (the first being my throne room for the allegorithmic contest). The scene is a classic American diner in the desert, using low-poly models and hand-painted textures. I'm using the… -

Re: 3D Environment Artist should make complex weapons too?
Hi SuSo, From my limited experience, a mid to large scale studio will likely have a specialist Weapon Artist or it would just be outsourced. Regarding books... I don't think there really are any. The industry moves so fast that anything put to print would likely be obsolete by the time it gets into readers hands. That… -
Re: Famous animator Miyazaki disgusted by AI Generated animation...
Well... whatever happens, happens. We shouldn't stop progress,ever IMHO. Who knows? Maybe we'll never invent AI that can 100% replace the artist,laborers,etc. Maybe the extent of AI would just be a really really amazing Retopo algorithm or a "fact checker" algorithm to see if there are any glaring faults with your prop… -

Substance Contest : Meet MAT "Medel Svensson"
It's my MAT model that painted in Substance Painter 2 for Allegorithmic's contest. Mostly I tried to use an emissive effect as a second highlight point for suit's metallic panels.
