Re: You're doing it wrong.
I go one step further, and type some code that produces a teapot automatically, and the teapot in turn generates and runs its own code. Then I go and make a coffee, and when I come back, the teapot has produced whatever I required. -
Re: Maya: lambert bastard 1
My simple explanation: Lambert1 is the default shader in Maya. Its node is hard-coded into the shading and particle engine, and its not like regular shading nodes. You can see this yourself in hypershade. Select Lambert1 and hit 'input and output connections' or >> . You'll get two nodes branching off, one is… -
Relationships and new jobs (Please come with open minds)
![[SF]Three9](https://polycount.com/themes/polycount/design/default-avatar.gif)
Alright so...hmm, where do I even start with this I am realistically (not counting my chickens before they hatch but I still have to set things in motion regardless and think about things) facing a move due to a potential new job (cross your fingers!) It's a great opportunity, a dream come true, and I couldn't be more… -
Max 2012, TV Element Mode Shortcut Issue...?
I'm just wondering if some of you have the same issue as me with Max2012. (it worked fine in 2011) I set up a keyboard shortcut for the TV element mode toggle... but for some reason it doesn't work in UV edit window. I already try with toggling "Keyboard Shortcut override" to no avail. What i noticed on the other hand, is… -
Best practice unwrapping uncommon meshes, like cones
Hi everybody, this is a relatively simple question, but I'd appreciate some feedback or techniques on how resolve similar problems. Here is a simple flashlight model with temporary baked normal map: Looks quite okay, still learning no remove problems related to padding and visible tiny seams, but here is the main thing.… -
Have anyone ever tried to make a node that turns rgb colors into indexed ones ?
With a slider of number of colors? A node that would output two things : A pallete and a grayscale representation of indexed colors ? Sometimes I wonder why we use true colors RGB textures for the base color while typical albedo/base color texture is 10-15 colors at best. Or is there a way to import those things from… -
Re: Programming Sub-Forum?
This. I would all for at at first thought but how many actual code programmers are there coming here? Programmers have their own sites to discuss codes imo...And i even doubt this forum would make a successful bridge for both worlds to understand each other's work... -
Where does this come from!?
On the left you see my texture in photoshop, high passed and even with the contrast lowered -50 twice I think. On the right you see the texture imported into CE3 and painted onto some terrain. Its actually from the map that comes with the engine, all I did was replace the texture of one of the materials that was already… -
Re: Diamant Modeling Tools Alpha 1.0 (Formally Diamant UV) release!

I have not tested this with 2009 and 2010.. so any feedback is welcome! Release Notes: * Got rid of custom node for merge vertices (older scenes with… -
Re: blurred cube map reflections
As far as I know, only statically and globally. You can't switch the MIP level with a function. Not even with custom code, since you can't custom code an asset node, which is essentially just the sampling fuction.
