Re: [RELEASE] Shader Forge - A node-based shader editor for Unity
It is! It's a custom lambert + Blinn-Phong specular shader with a normal map and a diffuse color :) This is pretty much what it does internally when you have Blinn-Phong on. dot(L,N) is the Diffuse term dot(N,H) is the Specular term, which has a power to make the glare smaller :) The diffuse is multiplied by a color, which… -
Re: Early-Late 2000s CGI/Game textures
Hi there, I'd say you are thinking about this backwards. You are assuming things about the past based on what you know of game art and 3D software of today, which I suppose is an intuitive thing to do ... but this leads you to imagine things about previous tech and workflows that just don't apply at all. - First off,… -
Texture Seams issues
Texture Seams issues hey, Iv all of a sudden run into some issues with max. For the last week iv been unwrapping and texturing several models for a scene using max 2010. Everything has been going smoothly until today. The issue im having seems to be with the "render to texture" tool. For example, iv unwrapped a simple box;… -
Re: Breakdown Fur
This is a really good looking fur! I was already familiar with the shell technique, but yours looks particularly good due the care in adjusting each shell maps and the height map usage. I gotta say I'm itching to recreate a few steps in your breakdown using Blender geonodes to automate them. 😂 Edit: I gave the node setup a… -

Re: spec map mask in alpha channel??
One thing to note, at least in my experince when dealing with compression is that Diffuse + alpha = the same amount of texture memory compressed as diffuse, and full color spec compressed. The reason for this is that a standard 24 bit image will take 1/4th the amount of memory compressed, but a 32 bit image with alpha will… -
Re: Spec Maps: The Red Headed Step Child
i'll echo EQ's comments about spec levels & not going overboard! Not everything has to be shiny, or at least flawlessly shiny! some tips: - as EQ mentioned, work Diffuse & spec simultaneously. I will sometimes take the diffuse to about 60% completion, then start honing in specular stuff. When i go full on in both however,… -
Re: whats the best way to model texture a flint wall?
I don't do that much sculpting, so take this with a grain of salt, but I'd do this: 1) Make several base-mesh rocks, and duplicate them until you have your wall spaced out roughly. 2) Add a plane that will act as the mortar/concrete that holds the stones in place 3) Sculpt 4) Export rocks as one mesh, plane as another 5)… -
Character Model - Xamd of Lost Memories
Hey guys. This is a "next gen" model i've made for class and just recently finished. Its Akiyuki from the anime series Bounen no Xamdou or Xamd of Lost memories. Its Akiyuki in his xamd form. Here's a screen of the character. The base mesh was something that took me quite a while since the character is very stylized. Some… -
Getting "next gen" weapons to look good when facing away from the light
On the few "next gen" type weapons I have created, all of them look fairly decent when in the light which brings out the specular map I created. When not in the light, however, the weapons look very flat, stony, and the materials read entirely different from when it had heavy specular lighting on it. I studied various…
