Welcome to the technical part of tech art. :) Quick review: an 8 bit value has a maximum integer value of 255. A 16 bit integer has a maximum of 65536. each additional bit increases the range of values by one power of 2. Since our normal textures have 8 bits per channel, using one channel for the lower 8 bits and a second…
Hi everyone! This is a general question that I hope I can get some clarification on. But I'm getting the vector direction, angle, distance, and dot product of an object. I cannot for the life of me understand what some of the output means or how I can use it to set conditions in my code for the direction. For example:…
