Re: HL2 Anyone got it? First impressions?
I get that a lot too. Just remember... the game is pretty linear so you can only go the right way. *SPOILER* If you're on the airboat I think your overall mission is to get to Alyx and Dr. Vance (since the teleport went wrong). EDIT: I wanted to mention how cool I think the Metro Cops are. When they community and get… -
need help with procedural generation of veins in marble
so Ive been tryin to get this texture done in MapZone, but I'm having a lot trouble getting veins like this: seems easy enough, but no success. lightning would also help, as its also a kind of jittery linear thing. if you know any techniques for the generation of something similar. it doesnt need to be in MapZone form, any… -
Re: 3d coat how to input measured IOR values?
Sebastian legarde published the maths for converting measured ior to colour values a few years ago (can't remember if it's linear or sRGB) Google that and do the conversions. Oh, and it's either metal or it isn't. Gray values are a fudge for when you don't have enough resolution and need to average over an area - not a way… -
Re: (Solved) [Maya Shaderfx] channel packing and roughness
After a bit of testing, I realize texture sampler for normal map (aka normal encoding) is likely different from other encoding such as linear and sRGB, and hence messing with B or A channel on normal map is a bad idea as sampler is likely doing something special with compression (much like many game engine)... But it means… -
Re: Blur Issue in UDK
Things of note: this looks and by your experiments is a mipmap issue. The rope appears to be drawing from a totally different texture map and its lod may be evaluating differently. As a suggestion take a flat version of this texture (like a tga or something) and down sample it to 256x256 using bilinear filtering. Reimport… -
Re: Technique for modelling tracks
Constrain > Curve(Path). I'd try making a few modular pieces (textured), then constrain them and adjust the age where needed. If the track is large enough that it would take too long to manually duplicate these along the constraint, you could keyframe the path%age from 0-100 (make this linear) and then duplicate it along… -
Re: Sugar Rush and Mars Police wip
thanks everyone! David Wakelin: tnx man, live painting is done by painting vertex colors on the model. each channel ( in this case, r and g ) acts like a black/white mask in the shader's interpolation node. i usually add a few more tricks to make it less linear, mosty by adding or subrstracting that mask with any channel… -
Re: Expectations when working for free
Its linear story driven fps, nothing too amazing as it is, except it is cyber-punk slightly into the future kind of fps. Team structure is 3 programmers, only me as 3d artist (at the moment), and 1 concept artist. It is nearing first playable build, and will be there probably around Christmas (maybe). Reason for kind of… -
Re: Autodesk Stingray game engine
I just have a few more questions about rendering tech that are a little more production-oriented and then I will stop bothering you for a bit, Mr. Shaderfx. - Are there built-in shaders for materials necessary for character art, like hair, skin, teeth, and eyes? - Does this iteration of Beast implement lightmap seam fixup… -
Re: Do we really need to be Uv mapping in 2015?
I like IPackThat and use 3D Coat often, but I still use Max and or Silo sometimes to linearize islands or rotate everything so its upright. IPackThat can be super efficient and its about as good as a current procedural packer can get I feel, but its still not "clever". Then again, I'm the rare guy who likes to dedicate a…
