Re: WW1 kick starter
They need to cover the tunnel mines used at the battle of Messines. "On 7 June 1917, nineteen (of a planned twenty-one) huge mines, containing a total of over 455 tons of ammonal explosives, were set off beneath German lines on the Messines-Wytschaete ridge. The explosion, which killed about 10,000 Germans, was heard as… -
Re: Female Knight
AFAIK that won't work. B&W is really a photographer tool, for converting color photographs to greyscale while maintaining or improving composition by allowing you to weight color channels so that some colors are darker/lighter than others by using the sliders. It has presets for mimicking colored camera lens filters for… -
Re: [Polygons] PlayStation main charakters - PS1 to PS4
Few years ago I found a few models supposedly taken directly from some old games, it was interesting to see them inside Blender. Of course, I can't guaranty if those models are actually from their games, and if they are untouched, so take it how you want to. Squall from Final Fantasy VIII had 727 vertices. Spongebob… -

Re: Shader Fill per channel vs per pixel
The way we did it was to use different ranges of greys within a single channel. On one project we divided the alpha into three ranges, 0-85, 86-171, 172-255. So any pixels in 86-171 range would get tint color 2. A nice benefit of this is you're not stuck with 1 single solid color, you can have a range of 86 greys, which… -
Re: WHAT ARE DISPLACEMENT MAPS???
And just to further clear it up on the content side: A "displacement map" or "parallax map" is the same thing as a "height map". IE: these are all grayscale maps representing height on a 0-1/0-255 scale. The differentiation is how you plug that map into your shader, you can use it as a bump map, a parallax map, a… -

Re: hair techniques
Dead or Alive 4 seems to be using hair made out of actual mesh: http://media.www.gamestats.com/media/545/545798/img_2970601.html They use it along with the physics engine and it looks quite nice imo. It would be cool if they'd make a engine that supports hair like you often see in CG movies (like Final Fantasy), but i… -
