Re: Your favourite artbooks
Not strictly "Art of.... X" books, but books about art which I've found the most useful and inspiring. To be honest I'd recommend not actually looking at "Art of XYZ Game" books, and actually go back to the roots of architecture and industrial design and comics etc Universal Principles of Design - I would wholeheartedly… -
Re: [FOLIAGE & UE4] ~ Grass, full 3D strands to cards LOD transition, is it possible?
Yes that would be correct if it weren't taking unpacked normal data. In an albedo the range is indeed 0 to 1 however in an unpacked normal, at least in UE4's case that range is -1 to 1. That is the range the material input expects when plugging anything into the normal channel. This happens behind the scene somewhat when… -
Re: Exporting Pivots from Maya to UDK
doesn't matter if transformations are frozen or not. global proc UDKexport() { string $selection[] = `ls -sl`; string $thisObj; string $presetpath = `internalVar -usd` + "UDK-FBX.fbxexportpreset"; FBXLoadExportPresetFile -f $presetpath; int $selsize = size($selection); if ($selsize == 0) { warning("Nothing is… -
Re: [help!] unable to run mel script on multiple objects :/
On a side note, does anyone perhaps know why exporting/saving through a script would cause maya to throw an error when trying to overwrite a fie? EDIT: actually it's not even writing the file the first time. it simply isn't there. I've checked the properties and it says it's read + write for my user. Maybe I'm going about… -
Re: Have anyone figured out how new Curvature Smooth node works in Designer?
I (naively) assumed they'd done it properly Hacks like that explain why it breaks down under some circumstances edit: ok so I've had a look . Hopefully this helps with some of the weird bits The only variable they seem to be using is the builtin $sizelog2 -which is log2(pixel size of the input) == log2(512, 512) == (9, 9)… -
Re: Jeremiah Bigley - Maxscript Adventures
Thank you LoteKk! I think I finally managed to get this thing error proof so I am posting the full script. Name: Bigley_Smart_Material What it does: -- When run it creates 3 materials in the Material Editor that I use on a regular basis * Nothing Pressed - Reads material from current selection and selects all other… -
Re: Advice with Learning Shader Programming
LoL this makes me mad. I dont know if it is this hlsl compiler or max but it is crazy. I've put my code into some fancy functions like Xoliul did, to get a better overview. But instead working like before as I would expect it, it does not I've got no compile errors or anything else, but my specular calculation doesn't work… -
Re: Maya Smoothing error
There's another problem. I wrote this after I closed down Maya, and I just brought it back up to reopen my file, and evidently the part that was in question is now gone from the viewports. Here's the scene itself, along with what's going on in the script editor. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/temetry/maya1.jpg… -
Re: Cyberpunk Character Creation
I like, Image 1 [Row 1, Number 1], Image 1 [Row 1, Number 7], the mask on Image 1 [Row 2, Number 7], Image 2 [Row 2, Number 2.] and I really enjoy the different gestures lol -
