Re: Far Cry 3 Art Dump
The ACOG is 100% me, not sure what ACOG you are referring to, but the one we use in the game is from scratch on my side, as well as all weapon attachments. If Massive made an ACOG at one point, we did not use it, I wasn't even aware of its existence. I was told to remodel and rebake the AK entirely (among other weapons… -
Re: PBR: The Problem with Greyscale Metalness
It would be great to put a source to this because right now you are just saying these as facts with no reference to back it up and what you are saying is contradictory to almost all material I’ve ever discussed. I think there is a misunderstanding of what “energy conservation” is. I totally don’t understand where you are… -
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: Futuristic gun - first next-gen model
"Long thin triangles" have generally been more of an issue with static objects utilizing vertex lighting, whereas objects such as these that would likely receive real-time lighting aren't as affected by this....of course this also depends on the engine. As far as your texture size, there is realistically no purpose to… -
Re: Building modular buildings and houses questions
In this context I'd absolutely encourage investigating ways to reduce tiling with small textures as Eric suggests. learning these techniques pays off in all sorts of ways (i recommend mocking it up in photoshop/designer, then figuring out the maths later btw). but That particular example.. not sure I'd recommend it… -
Re: Quixel releases Megascans!
Hello guys, so the material studio compositing thing is a brilliant idea, I just downloaded to try it as this would fit perfectly into our workflow on Gears. Unfortunately, the material scans are 1m x 1m, am I missing something or is all the content 1m? Our target texel density on Gears is 4m = 2048 pixels, this means… -
Re: Is this quality good enough? Please help URGENT!
Padding, when baking in max will do this: Grab the outlieing pixels from the bake, and "stretch" them out X number of pixels past the UV layout. This helps for mipmapping in games, as when the object is far away the texture size is decreased. So you have this border of "padding" to ensure that when it does shrink, its… -
Re: Unreal/General - Scattering Shader - Eye and Light - Correct retention of Energy
There's one important difference. The relation between camera and light is fix when rendering a scene. In this case you just need to transform the light once per frame and save the result to a shader register. On the other hand, each pixel will hold different surface data (normal, tangent,position), which needed to be… -
Re: What's a "gray ball pass" in making HDR panoramas?
Nick says basically the same thing, but in more detail. http://www.max-realms.com/modules/tutorials/guide_to_hdri_lighting.php Some related info from HDR Shop... [ QUOTE ] ...mirrored spheres are never 100% specular, and you should compute and adjust for the percent reflectivity of any sphere used for measuring incident… -
Re: let's talk about sextures... i mean textures =)
Depends on the game I am working on, but right now I work at 4 times the final resolution, so I work at 1024x512 and scale down to 512x256, then sharpen the texture 100% and the difference between the scaled down version is not noticeable at all in game. It depends on the art I think, last year on SSX3 we painted all the…
