Hey folks, I found a really neat trick when working with custom HLSL nodes in the UDK material editor and wanted to share. As of right now, to pull in a texture as an input (assuming you want to mess with the texture itself, not just a float3 or float 4 value) you need to use a custom texture node. HOWEVER If you want to…
I would use a simple approach. Basically all you have to do is : ( 1 - glossiness ) * numofmipmaps. In my case it's 7. My setup : If your are using phong or blinn you might want to multiply your glossiness by 128 in order to get a range of 0 - 1 to avoid value like 180 or 200. But with a cook torrance or a spherical…
No worries man. That shot was taken using dx11 UDK. Was there something specific you have to do? I tried all the built in mipping options but none of them removed the seam as I traveled down the mip chain. Any suggestions would be awesome! Alex
