Re: ShaderFX and alpha Mip Maps
This sounds interesting. I had a look at it as well and I'm stuck at the State Settings node's drop down list for blend modes. There's only "No Blending", "Pre-multiplied Alpha Blending", "Wireframe" and "Custom". I suppose you'd want a "Alpha Test" option there. I'm curious about the "Custom" option. Seems to imply that… -
Re: People with Autism + ADHD innatentive who aren't medicated do you have any advice to be productive?
(This will probably not gonna get me liked by HR) I worked in a vfx studio at a time while having auditory and visual hallucinations and was doing my job as if all is normal. Socializing was extremely hard, but I did. At some point I was able to cure my illnesses with no medication. Just intense sport, muay thai, jiujitsu,… -
Re: Confusion with Normal baking issues around edges/borders
Sure. To be fair, since doing the maps at 4K, the issue doesn't look to be much of a problem, and some areas are hidden anyway. But I've taken a mid poly (sub-div level 3 in ZBrush, I think) and some parts don't appear to be matching up very well. The collar area also needs a bit of a bevel to avoid this baking issue at… -
Re: environment uber shader request?
Hi there. Blending terrain with a bitmap is possible, but especially unpractical. It means you'd need a unique UV set just for the blending and an additional texture (more vram, heavier pixel shader). There would be no benefits: The blending is a low frequency information that suits vertex density very well, and vertex… -
Re: Why does my opaque texture seem to be transparent?
Without seeing the example, it's hard to say. But it's generally better to cut transparent meshes as close as possible, so there's less alpha blending to render. I would separate the model into opaque parts (no alpha blending in the shader) versus transparent parts. You can also try alpha test instead of alpha blend, then… -
Re: Post your shaders!?
I made a thread like this a while ago, which died very fast. lol. "This will blend 2 textures (channel 1) using a third black and white blend map (channel 3). There are options for tiling blend A and blend B, as well as their spec value. Currently, I have the specular value of those maps coming from their alpha channel.… -
Re: 3D Animation: Resetting rotation after a 360 turn?
Slo mo is a pretty specific edge case but that falls under the "...as long as you don't interpolate between those values." part that can be a headache, lol. Most engines have interpolation settings, Unreal has them on anims, montages, blendspaces and I think on aim offsets. If interpolation is set to 0 the clips just play… -
Re: Blender-Export/bake animation of mesh animated by displace modifier?
Use blend shapes. Add a blend key, apply the displace modifier, that should work. Other than that, blender does not export the information you're looking for. Although it might be possible with the new alembic support? I am not entirely sure. My recommendation would be to do it with blend shapes though, and actually hook… -
Re: What are best AIs for game art? Both for scripting and content creating?
thomasp I am talking more about what may help artists, not replace them . Chat GPT already can make you blend files with geometry node setup after your description . It often connects the nodes not right but you still get an idea how it meant to work. Besides gazillion useful addons Chat made me this year. I am getting so… -
Hide texture repetition - what's the state of art solution?
Say I have following: - a set of fairly low poly modular wall models. - a few tileable textures: wall, broken walls, etc. - I want to blend these textures to hide the repeat tiling when you have a long stretch of walls. Now, I know there are 2 general approaches: - vertex color blending: this is no go for me due to model…
