making your own is a bit on the 'easier said than done' side - i'm not exactly well versed in driver authoring but my surface level understanding is that it's a bit of a black box as far as Nvidia are concerned. AMD opensource their linux drivers but afaik not the windows ones. if we're doing conspiracy theories (facts)…
Hi everyone, I’m trying to recreate this kind of anime coloring/shading style from One Piece (image attached). What I’m specifically trying to achieve: * Strong cel shading with soft transitions in some areas (like the face and hair) * Intense glow/red eye effect * Clean but dynamic highlights in hair (not overly…
It won't let me use a worldNormal node in a pixelshader input. Either way, I'm quite certain that you have to do it with two diffuse calculations, otherwise you won't get the RGB channels to differ and get the desired effect. I mean, no matter how much you modify the normal input of one diffuse calculations you will only…
Steam version is non-transferable, as it falls under the software subscription version. I am looking for something compatible with the 'Directive 2009/24/EC Article 4(2) Case C-128/11 UsedSoft vs Oracle' if interested in the legal details. EU only, I know that it does not apply to any other location, but for my usage that…

I understand that this site is mainly for art and modeling, but to anyone who is familiar with programming (C++ mainly). Do you know any sites that feature image processing alongside with open source code. In case you don't know what I mean by 'image process' one thing for sure, it has something to do with imagery.…
Shader coding is a very specific field in itself often with its own quirky languages and requirements, you'd usually have a specific programmer or TD for that job. I wouldn't imagine it's common for any artist to need to know shader code for employment, although it's a very good skill to have - most engines will have…
Hello - The smoothing node seems very interesting (could be a nice time saver !) but the model loader doesn't seem to load hard edges/smoothing group properly, thus making the node not usable. Here is a comparison with what Autodesk FBXViewer displays for the same OBJ test model : Some notes on small details : - No need to…
I wanted to share something I came across while looking at models and textures from Borderlands 2. There is a 3D model called WreckedVan that is used all over the game. It comes with a 2048 diffuse map and a second packed mask texture. The size might seem large for 2012 but given that it was standard practice to give…
1). Split Polygon tool has a snapping tolerance option, you can choose how powerful to make the snap, and where along the line to snap. It defaults to 50% along an edge, if you increase the tolerance then it will be more likely to jump to exactly 50% if you're near the middle of the edge. Unfortunately without custom…
