@rollin Nope, wrap deformer works this way, the principle of RBF is more complicated and implies the use of some really big matrices.

So a little backstory is probably needed. Back in 2007-08 when Autodesk still offered perpetual licenses, a guy was going around buying up used copies and reselling them. Autodesk took the guy to court, trying to shut him down. In a surprise decision, the guy won. As a result the guy could sell used copies of software just…
I mean the built in Phong shading. Here is a custom lighting shader and an example of how to use it. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/48657892/CustomLighting.upk A quick rundown on the parameters. Roughness: This is the equivalent of "glossiness", but unlike Phong, bigger number = more rough. The range of this is parameter is…
Yeah, thumbnailing is just a tool that you use to get a specific result. A lot of people find it useful for the products they are making. I figured I would point out that there are other methods out there that give you different results. It just depends on what you are going for. I was thinking about doing a video series…
Ubisoft have a hard on for PC gamers, Yves Guillemot has been ranting about 93 to 95 % piracy rate for a while now. They even suggested not releasing SC conviction & graw future soldier due to the piracy rate of past releases, PC gamers are potential thieves in Guillemots eyes. The the DRM on graw future soldier is a joke…
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…
I agree with fishypants (:D!) I think you need to cut out the beginning, you need to save the acting for a different piece in your reel. also, Ive never seen a person carry a heavy object using the crab walk, it doesnt really make sense, but if you are going to go with that, you need to make the feet shuffle more. with…
I have a question ::raises hand in girly fashion::..... When new technology is designed and ultimately released, is it safe to say that these companies target their product to meet a certain target in power consumption and find ways to produce a viable product that will increase performance but also not debilitate the…

No, we don't have an lod system working yet. I would have to figure out how the automatic system works before I made any decisions about that. The lod range would probably be pretty far away. If you didn't force people to make the lods, I doubt many people would make them besides the professional type guys on this forum.…
