Re: Blinn Model?
By normalize do you mean throw a constant clamp on it? I still can't figure out why I can't upload but I'll describe the network Camera Vector + Light Vector -> Constant Clamp * 0.5 this result goes into a DotProduct with the normal map texture sample The DotProduct output goes into a Power node with a float variable as… -
Re: next Gen + hand painted possible?
LoL sure use a high to low workflow thats clear. Hard to make out if they use normals + diffuse or diffuse only with higher polycount but likely diffuse only as you said, yes (As I thought both use normals, that would have implied Dota2 uses normals too - aka what I said) Dota2 uses normal / spec / fresnel etc the full… -
Re: Sketchbook: Hyshinara
First up: Test-baking diffuse and normal maps in Maya 2014. I'm testing the diffuse map baking for a G1 Transformers project in which I intend to model high-poly versions, face-colour the models, then bake the colour information onto the low-poly models. If I'm correct, this should give crisp, reference accurate results… -
Re: Normal Map Viewer?
The 'first' version of the viewer is available here. What I've been focussing on is drag and dropping .obj files onto the exe, and onto the running program. I think my loader is correct for all triangulated meshes, but if you guys would be willing to try a variety of meshes on it, I'd be very grateful. You can drag and… -
Re: Sawnoff O/U Baikal Shotgun WiP
If you compare the 3D shot with the diffuse texture map in the corner, they're quite different. I think your gun may be so saturated because your spec carries the same color as your diffuse. Most often spec is in black-and-white because specularity is the reflection of the lights around your objects; a red light should… -
Re: [3ds max] Help me to understand/recreate icon style from the game
this is max 10 with a basic direct x9 normal mapped phong shader where the diffuse is modulated with vertex shading....though I'd wouldn't use this for generating the icons.... I'd use the added geometry with some kind of ambient occlusion render (to produce the ott shading). Though for the quickest turn around I think… -
Re: Watch tower in the forest (UE5.4)
@MBauer17 thank you for your question. If you're referring to my signature — I'm not an AI promoter. I'm a founder of an AI company. I'm also an art director who's been making 3D art for the last 20 years, building titles like Uncharted and The Last of Us, all while constantly working to better the lives of artists. I've… -
Re: CryTiff Plug-in Presets
Hi there! What we usually do here in Crytek is add a suffix at the end of the filename to tell the resource compiler which type of texture this will be. These are the most common ones: diffuse: _diff normalmap (glossiness in alpha channel): _ddna specularity: _spec height: _displ An example would look like this:… -
Re: Hand Painted texture skills
Just to try and answer your question, it's because assets created in the MMO-type of hand-painted stuff are diffuse-heavy. Meaning, the asset and the artist relies on the diffuse map to convey what the material is. The assets you're talking about, like those that Naughty Dog does, rely on the shader to convey what the… -
Re: Scan of ground to tileable bitmap textures...?
Hi, I do this at work a lot, and the only way I know of is to have all your maps (diffuse, normal, displacement etc) in one group in photoshop and use layermask on the group to paint away or add. Duplicate your group and continue building up your texture. Like you say, unfortunately you cant clone many layers at once, I…
