Re: RealTime Texture Blurring in UDK
What node offsets the image? I can't quite make out the text in the image. I've got a normal map of a block pattern that is basically half a block off my diffuse. I made a block pattern greeble in Maya a few weeks ago and used it on a plain tiling stone tex, then today I decided to cut out pieces of stone from 14 different… -
Re: Sculpting the male Face (Assistance)
You shouldn't care too much of topology at this stage , also my suggestion is to learn how to build everything yourself from scratch (using primitive - sphere or cube ) using progressively increasing levels of dynamesh (example: for basic shape of head , neck and shoulder using default zbrush sphere dynamesh with… -
Re: Why you should NOT trust 3ds Max's viewport normal-map display!
IMO, the main advantages of using tangent space: * Because the normal is relative to the face, Z always faces up. - That means normals with more precision when data is quantized, usually to 8bit per-axis. (128 vs 256 positive Z values.) - Z can be omitted and quickly derived on-the-fly without any extra info. - Storing… -
Re: Videa capture from viewport to Adobe Premiere?
Good to hear that!! Please could you say more? Becausemy movie is done and I have a very good quality output movie of 4.3 go for 20 min :D .... I tried to convert with SUPER, but output is bad, I didn't success to get a good quality movie. Black is not black and it create some pixel artifact, etc... Here are the parameters… -
Re: Battlefield Bad company 2
I ditto this as well. I think there is much that can be done with BF series in general. But problem to me stands that the designers are quite poor in creative solutions from DICE. (Otherwise, it's a marketing design approach to pro-long the users need to seek more of the game, bit by bit. All concealed in constraints that… -
Re: UE4-Dynamic indirect shadows?
The VXGI branch is completely separate and doesn't even require the launcher (since it's built from source code), so it doesn't matter which version of ue4 you have I've done some tests in VXGI and I personally really like it, and as for the performance, I found changing the following console commands help tremendously… -
Re: ugly normals
well, heres 2 approaches, both with the normalmap not even looking remotely pretty. i fixed up the wires like per 128 showed, removing the red wires, and adding the green. one with no smoothing, where the normals seems fairly accurate, despite the hideous edges around each poly and one where i made everything into… -
Re: Best Video Card for modeling?
I kinda have a similar question. I'm wondering which graphics familily of ATI and Nvidia will show normal maps and direct x 9 shaders in the 3d apps viewport. I currently have a geforce 4 ti 4400 128 ddr ram but the thing won't show the direct x 9 shaders or cg shaders. I'm looking for something good and cheap that fits in… -
Re: Polycount, now and then
[ QUOTE ] are you one of them cynics vig? I am trying to think what your ideal polycounter would be. I am guessing someone who posts every day, never complains and wears a large hat. [/ QUOTE ] See MoP, Gauss and a bunch of other folks. I am really happy with the community the way it is. There are a lot less people coming… -
Re: Shader - Specular Term - Fresnel
The way I've been using it is multiplying the final spec value by the frensel value then adding that to the diffuse * diffuse lighting. The fresnel value is usually extremely low (most non-metal surfaces are between 0.01 and 0.04 - metals can go up to about 0.5). This means that the specular result is strongest at glancing…
