Re: Uncharted 4
Beautiful, beautiful area in a beautiful game. I liked that section because it was sort of like Uncharted became a mini open-world game for a bit while still (very cleverly) keeping you on a linear path. I love seeing how stuff like that gets built up and the iterations you went through. It was really interesting seeing… -
Re: Shader help!
this is really simple. you just multiply the ao map with the ambient lighting. no inverse dot products or linear algebra neccessary. i like to post pictures so here's an example in unity. here the diffuse map is just a solid color but using a texture instead obviously isn't a problem. actually getting ambient light is the… -
Re: [WiP] A Pilgrim's Mountain Journey: A Material Blending Project
Getting back into things. Soon done with the rock material (I hope): @Flight I didn't plan on doing any mesh support for my materials. Though I may consider doing if I want to add rock meshes to my scene before I call it done. @zachagreg I'm mostly just eyeballing the values, trying to keep it around 0.5 linear (because… -
Re: PBR Smoothness bleeding issue
It is about hte Roughness/Smoothness contrast. In a normal situation you have at least one pixel of 50% blending between two values. As I learned in my second post it is helpful to play around with the mask and make it highly contrasted. I don't have the maps here right now, but my water has flat normals, high smoothness… -
Re: INSANE CG film
His videos show him using After Effects :P I'm sort of an uber AE geek. I use it pretty much every day, and we are best friends. One time I got drunk and AE held my hair for me. How sweet. It can be an unwieldy bitch though when you start getting into nasty webs of nested precomps within precomps. Thats where other… -
Re: Modular Building in UDK
those air conditioners and way too big. They are almost as tall as the roll up door. The windows should also not start so close to the roll up door. Try to think of how the building would be built in real life, where the floors would be etc, and allow for some space for those things. Is your building 3, 4, 5 stories? Its a… -
Re: ChronoSculpt: time based cached sculpting
Lets say the director want that a certain part of the brigde still standing, but you simulated the whole bridge to fall appart. You have two choices. 1) Redo the simulation (which can cause a lot of other parts of the simulation not being what the director wanted). 2) Use Chronosculpt to fixate those parts of the bridge… -
Re: Hardsurface artists: The world famous Maya vs 3ds max conflict in a diffrent way...
Ah, did i miss a chamfer modifier ? To me, most actions are done inside the edit poly, thus you could stack edit poly modifiers for each change but the back and forth actions are limited. Max reorders vertices too. Actually if i want to make larger chamfer, i have to remake it. While it may be better than Maya, it isn't as… -
Re: edge padding in photoshop?
Solidify wouldn't work in that case with haircards rendered against black background. It would dilate the black pixels on the translucent edges. So don't forget to do un-premultipled rendering or just divide 32bit exr color output by 32bit alpha in some linear environment like Blender compositing nodes. Could be done in… -
Re: Michael Phelps - Full body likeness
Hey dude! Michael Phelps has pretty interesting anatomy going on, should be fun to sculpt. It's looking pretty good so far, but here are some things that immediately jumped out to me: Just a few things to start on, but my main problem is that your sculpt is very linear and CG, it is lacking all of the depth and subtle…
