Re: Creating "Comb" maps
Mike: Hahahahah, no, you really don't at this point in time. :D I'm a terribly messy coder at the start of projects. In any case, it's just a tweaked standard Kajiya Kay specular powered to some factor and then smoothstepped to control the sharpness. Funkies & Haz: I'll try and get an alpha version out soon. There are… -

Unfortunately the source was lost and the app stopped working due to code rot. Hopefully someday it will get re-integrated into marmoset. You guys should try loading these into toolbag, the content… -

Coming up with the picture tube to create a comb map to control anisotropy direction was all me, but I was pretty sure someone, somewhere was…
