Re: Monthly Noob Challenge 7 (Join in!)
@joshschmitt : thanks for the help, i finally imported one object into cryengine, so that problem is resolved. @airage : man,, that looks nice, huge difference from what i see in my scene :P AND NOW, unfortunately, the problem : i am using Maya and i just can't make the dirt layer to work in Cryengine. It's a maya thing… -
Re: Tangent Space Confusion
Tangent basis is usually calculated per vertex-face (kinda like per-vertex, but when you include UVs you can consider a single vertex to have multiple UVs if it's split per face). So you take the vertex normal, and the UV coordinates for the connected edges of that vertex, and do some calculations with that to find the… -
Re: Feedback - Location from Blade Runner 2049
Oh, vertex color, I heard about that. Thank you so much for sticking with me and answering my questions! I'll make sure to try that method on the walls and update topic with the result. -
Re: TF2 PSP spec props
//If you have problems with viewing objects with alfa maps, I made an fx file that you can use with //max so you can see color maps,alfa maps,vertex paint and vertex alfa without the seams. //Just make a text file call it "something.fx" and paste this text in it then open it from max as a //Directx Shader.… -
Re: I made a new SpeedTree/TreeIt Alternative for Beginners/Hobbyists
This looks fun. May i ask what platform it is available for? And is there a way to animate the tree too? This would require to manipulate the vertex normals, so can this be done with the vertex normals editor? Or is this editor just for single elements? -
Re: UDK - Low End Shaders/Material (AKA Old School Tricks)
Vertex offset, and vertex colour, only works on the vertexes you already have. It doesn't add vertexes to a mesh. -
Re: ::Modular Asset(s) Shading Problem::
Can you export custom vertex normals out with static meshes from your modelling application? Or does Unreal always average them and regenerate the vertex normals? It looks like, since the curved sections start straight into the curve, the vertex normals there are not "straight out" on the corners - instead they're pointing… -
Re: "clean" topology?
@Olli Well, it might be the end for you, but for your asset it's hardly so. Model has to be uv mapped and baked with as little smoothing groups as possible (spartan optimizations make this harder) It will be later passed down to animators for skinning and exported to engine. In engine shader artist might come up with… -
Re: Edge Constrain in Modo?
Well, consider this piece of geometry that could be a piece of armor of some sort. Suppose I want to slide the selected vertexes at same time along their edges. Note how the model is offset from the world origin and the vertexes are asymmetrical in relation to the entire model, providing a non-trivial example. Selecting… -
Re: Squares or triangles?
Sorry, but yes really. When we're talking about vertex load and complexity, a quad that is treated as such in maya or max or whatever will be treated as two optimized triangles in game with four vertices, two of which are shared. Even if you triangulate this quad, as long as you preserve it's continuity it'll still have…
