Re: LODbias inside a material?
Yes, you would need to use a custom node with tex2Dlod. For a better parallax effect you can also chain up multiple BumpOffset nodes (alternatively rebuilt the bumpoffset nodes and include a multiply by normal.z) - this will help greatly to reduce texture swimming at steep angles. -
Re: LOW-POLY ART
@YellowSub Anytime. Glad you liked it. @klamp Great stuff. I really like the stylized look. I would have to agree with felipefrango the nose looks a little strange. Maybe adding a little bit of a gradient from the top of the nose will help. Awesome stuff none the less! -
Re: Misc 3dsmax questions
To get the material maxscript working you can record the actions with the max script listener (lower right corner, right click the pink box and choose open listener), under macro recorder, enable everything. Then preform your actions and see what kind of code it spits out. for me when I assign a material to slot 1 in the… -
Using bitmap files to add or subtract in a blend?
I may be missing something but can I use a JPG file, black and white information, and use it with a blend node to add or subtract the information? I've been messing with it and the Bevel node picks up the edges and I can adjust the sliders with success. Yet, this bitmap mask isn't playing showing up at all in a Blend node. -
Re: Rain Slicked Surfaces
the bit you've marked as "unknown" is the world position node scale. because if you just used the world position node raw your "faked" UVs will be the same size as the world - so they have that node to control the tiling. In this case the 'rain' bitmap will be 64 units wide in the world. -
Re: Damascened / Damascus / Pattern welded materials?
Took me about 5 mins to figure this out in SD. It's pretty simple node setup. Using a custom vector offset node there but stock directional or vector warp nodes should work aswell. You can plugin whatever patterns and noises for different damascus effects. -
Re: Does a viewport camera "tumble about point" mode exist for 3DS Max?
ah that works, thank you! one small problem though, if my mouse is off mesh, it rotates at an arbitrary point far away, and if im super up close in wireframe mode, the point is often picked to be far out behind the mesh. Is there any way to change the behavior? -
Re: Does Zbrush Live Up to the Hype? (Making the Most of My 30 Day Trial)
Day 22 - 38 So. . . I've been forgetting to post updates (Ha ha, oops), but I've been slowly working on the sculpture. Because of the 15 bonus days I'm actually still on the free trial. I've got about 7 days left. Although, I'm starting to like Z-Brush, so maybe I'll keep it around on subscription mode afterwards. Since… -
Re: Normalised roughness maps for vfx workflow
You can setup custom nodes for painter using substance designer - this is how all the proceedural nodes and textures in substance designer are made. You export a SBSAR file from designer and put it in the shelf in painter. There is already an 'auto levels' node in substance designer that basically does this. -
Re: Insomniac Spiderman Retopo (Help)
Thank you so much! By cuts I'm guessing you mean multi-cut, yeah? The work of the Spider-Man games have been a great inspiration for me as a 3D Artist, so really, thank you. Another question not as related to the retopo process. How were you able to create the tendrils for the symbiote stuff? Like the suit transformation…
