Re: For the shader wizards out there....
Ah, sorry. atten is the float value supplied to the lighting function within Unity's Surface Shader system. It contains the attenuation value of the current light (multiplied by the shadow value if the light casts shadows). It ranges from 1 (fully lit) to 0 (unlit). step (x, y) returns a float that's either 1 or 0… -
Re: Ghastly Graham
Thanks, T I might Zbrush parts of him, the skull for instance, but I think I'd rather keep him as simple and low-poly as possible. I'm still working on the color design, so yeah the coat will need some work. I'm trying to use a triad color scheme, and then within each of the three main colors and analogic sub-scheme. I'll… -
Re: Modo - Maya style ALT+LMB+MMB viewport/camera interaction
I can't exactly remember! I think I left it on as default when I first installed. I just tried turning it off; what the fuuuuck. How does non-trackball even work. When you're looking at Y being straight up everything just gets weird. I assume you're meant to work with Y always being up; whereas in trackball rotation it… -
Re: Repeat only a portion of a texture map?
I can seem to figure out how to tile a texture on x and y on one map... I'm using 512*512 and if a tile takes up 1/4 at 256*256 it doesn't tile. I'd need to take up half in order to offset and have it tile correctly, but if I need to take up 1/2 of the texture map, tiling in both axis is impossible, no?… -
Re: 3ds Max: Editting Vertex Normals Precisely
Thanks for continuing to help me with this :) This is the result of taking the averages vert-by-vert. I'm not sure if I totally understood your instructions, because I don't understand why taking averages would be helpful here since there's no guarantee they would end up in the Y-Z plane. I also have seams which are… -
Re: Tiling Textures/UVs for game environments
As for the no uv's idea, you are probably thinking of a shader that uses Worldspace Co-Ords to apply a tiling texture to your model. It projects the UV co-ord's real time from X Y and Z to apply the texture to the model. The benefits are obviously no unwraps and the ability to set a different texture to be projected from a… -
Re: ObjectSpace NormalMaps - What is the Neutral Color ? And Normalization ?
Maybe you didn't understand the point, the objective is not to write (2*a)-1 as (a-0.5) * 2 which is exactly the same but cost more on the gpu. Indeed simplyfying the matter: a = tex2D() The monomial (a - 1/2) * 2 = 2a - 1 is equivalent. x)(2*a) - 1.0 costs 5 cycles on SGX540 y)(a - 0.5)* 2.0 costs 6 cycles on SGX540 z) a… -
Re: CrazyBump Beta 8
hi Ryan, having some more bother with maya I rendered a normal map in maya, and in CB have the y set to down- so far so right aye? so I load in a bump I want to convert to normal map, still with y down, convert it, open the rendered normal map and blend the two. So far in the viewer, it looks correct, but when I save the… -
custom maxscript panel for modeling, management and exp/import models
after replying here people asked me if they could have that script with the spinner that lets me smooth surfaces without the usual hassle in 3dsmax. The picture I posted back then was: http://www.renderhjs.net/bbs/polycount/tips/quarantine_map_smoothing_groups.gif its a common task for me fixing the smoothing groups of… -
