Announcing B2M-3. The first image to PBR converter!
We are proud to announce the release of a new Substance tool this week: Bitmap2Material 3! We rewrote from scratch the algorithms and we can now generate the best seamless normal and albedo maps out there from any source image. The lighting cancellation methods it uses can get rid of pretty much any lighting and output… -
Re: Normal Map baked good but I see low poly edges in other apps
@Tosyk ... about this img i too have run into the "love" of whatever they are doing with their view-port, they seem to be utilizing some neat "tricks" or are just ahead of the game in understanding how to utilize their shading algorithms, from what i can gather it has something to do with an nvidia attribute in the shader… -

3D artist for an adventure game needed
We are looking for a person which would like to help us with creating an adventure game. Most of a game is ready but it lacks cool graphic. We need somebody to create low-poly models and locations (indoor and outdoor). The candidate must have the following skills and experience: - Experience of 3D Studio Max - Skills in… -
Re: Sketchbook: Stororokw
For the past couple days I have been trying to understand the fourier transform. One of its applications is faster convolutions and also being able to approximate the diffraction of waves through an aperture typically seen as glare on an image. The bottom shows the amplitudes after applying the fourier transform on… -
Re: Matching render result, how close is close enough? (Painter vs Maya vs Unity)
You will have to construct a ShaderFX Shader from scratch so it takes a degree of shader knowledge but it's actually not that much work to port an hlsl/glsl Shader over to ShaderFX as you can dump raw code into custom code nodes with fairly minor changes (ShaderFX doesn't understand vector types so you have to change them… -
Re: Normal map compression and channel packing
Yes sorry, my UE4 editor was closed and i didn't took the time to verify the right name ;) Yes i mean the Texture group. Basically the compression takes the Red and Green channel of your imported normal map and apply a re-normalisation which determine the blue channel for each pixel. It mean that r+g+b is always equal to… -
Re: SD5 - FX Map - Pattern scatter by Mask Input?
Hello, You may seen my topic on allegortmic forum, because I tried to do exactly same thing. I spent on this a few days; me thoughts: -it's almost impossible to do it- have you seen a good looking grass made in SD? Maybe one or two, right? I wish SD could operate on 3d models...without it it's not possible to create… -
Re: Good sites for keeping up with game engine tech
I find the polycount forums pretty good for pure art techniques, but game programmers don't really talk here about their engine tech. I like to listen in on these lists. A lot of it goes over my head, but now and then there are some great insights. They have searchable archives too.… -
Re: RT CASS Source
MoP - there are two ways to increase graphical quality on game models (apart from good craftmansship): a) Increase number of polygons until number of edges limits infinite (pytagoral approximation of the circle) b) Develop such Algorithms that will create mathematical functions (Beziers) for given points (Function defined…
