I wanted to share something I came across while looking at models and textures from Borderlands 2. There is a 3D model called WreckedVan that is used all over the game. It comes with a 2048 diffuse map and a second packed mask texture. The size might seem large for 2012 but given that it was standard practice to give…
Need to fit color range into half of its current. (So like 4 bit vs 8bit) How would you solve this? We are using a Blend with a 16F 50% grayscale at linear dodge. Then doing a 16F grayscale of that result with Multiply. At the end we reduce to 8bit. It gives us close results, but I keep thinking we can do this with less…

I found the node in Designer that makes safe colors from input . While how it behaves on whites is perfectly what I expected , its clipping on dark end seems a bit too extreme for me. Nothing looks kind of enough black with this in our game. Especially some artificial materials of black nature. Always a bit washed out.…
- I wouldn't say it looks like Grasshoper/Houdini/Svershock, as GraphN is a visual representation of the python programming language. What you've seen in the video is us leveraging Maya's python API, but you could do it with anything that Python allows you to, from folders/files management to AI, software creation or image…
I tried doing that 3Daily and getting into Blender so that I could sort of be a jack-of-all-trades and be able to create a project all on my own for game jams and for my own things, but I just can't do it. I'm a semi-professional (i.e. good enough to get paid, but not good enough to get a full-time, permanent job)…
Hello everyone, I want to share a new tool I've been developing for some time now called VmBaker. It is a texture baking tool mainly targeted at game developers for making low-poly models - but it's really up to you how you want to use it. If you're tired of exporting models from Maya to Blender just to bake beveled edges,…
As title, it's could be a weird question but, there is a way to sculpt and paint a model in uv morph mode? When i go in morph uv mode and the model flat itself i can sculpt it but when i come back all come back normaly, there is a way to made the modification stay? Thanks and sorry for my broken english.
Hi there, Note: We do NOT require you to have knowledge of coding the UI in UE4. This is solely for the 2D artwork/PSD file. Circuits and Shields is looking for an expert UI artist to put together the UI for our main in-game HUD (and possibly further work on menus/game screens in the future). The first task, the in-game…
Hey man, I can give you some advice here I guess. Don't get scared/confused by these complicated sounding articles that try to explain the vertex-pixel shader pipeline in a lot of detail. They might make it sound like it's all about this complicated big system and how it ties into the graphics hardware. That stuff is…
