Yeah.. When you can afford it ^_^ On a side note... did they change the group node key in the UDK material editor ... I could have sworn it was "C" in UT3. Maybe I've lost my mind.
Ah you're right, it's been a while. I hadn't actually animated in my little test scene. If I also uncheck Use Nucleus Solver on the hairsystem node it animates for me while in static mode.
Hi. If I export my texture as mipmapped DDS from Photoshop, do I still need to set the filter type in Maya's file node? Should I set the filter to mipmap, leave it as quadratic or set to None?
This is in Maya shaderFX but should work the same in max Make a new shaderFX material, go to advanced mode, delete everything and then recreate what you see below In the texturemap node simply set the filter type to point
I would suggest generating erosion on the terrain using a dedicated tool like WorldMachine or Terragen or the like. This will make a splat map for you, which you can use in a Composite node as your layer masks. To isolate the RGB color channels you can use Color Correction nodes, or even easier just use a single OSL Uber…
This is super neat ! One piece of feedback : including a screenshot or a written note in the add-on description mentioning that it requires the Mapping and Texture Coordinates nodes to be present. Even just an external link to a picture would do the job, I think.
Start fresh and try working towards an extreme version of the effect you're after, and then tweak it back. By that I mean punch a transparent hole through the object with the Layer Weight and the ColorRamp nodes, because if you can't even do that then you know the nodes are wrong. - When mapping a scalar value with the…
I'm going to get all sweary, don't take it personally, I don't have time to clean it up and think of proper verbiage, plus it's how polycount used to be. My personal usage history: I've used Max more than any other program, but that means I'm more intimately acquainted with it's warts =P I currently use Maya for animation…
What is the bit of code in the custom node doing? I don't quiet understand. How is it bending the U and V into a radial? Can you break down what each part of the equation is for? I'm mostly curious as to what the atan2 is.
