Re: Second /detailed normal map blending to provide seamless look over hard edges/uv splits ?
Well ... outside of the LOD aspect (which imho isn't the most convincing ...), the part about using a Split Hard Edge Modifier to avoid manually placing UVs doesn't make sense, since the algorithm used to split edges by angle is the exact same used by the "Select Hard Edges" command (which, admittedly, is the worst named… -
Re: Help with my Portfolio
Happy to help! Linkedin is crucial to the hiring process, and many application systems of AAA studios do reference it. You can also search for jobs on linkedin and apply directly through there. There also webinars and news on the platform that you can interact with to increase your visibility. And absolutely add… -
Re: Good offline renderer for visual novel?
I got a threadripper 16 cores. Its a beast no doubt. I also agree that feature wise, cpu renderers are still ahead. But think about how cpu renderers work. You got one core, you got one small bucket where pixels gets iterated one by one. Two cores, two small buckets. Then, gpus works like this. Give it an input image, add… -
Re: Myths of modelling
At render time all polygons are reduced to triangles. For high poly models that have to be rigged and animated a sub divide operator/ algorithm/ modifier is usually applied to the mesh. These sub dividers are non destructive and can be switched on or off, making it possible to rig and animate a lower poly version of the… -
Re: Sketchbook: Ray Frenden
Hey man, I've seen Some of your progress through your Google+ postings. Its cool to see you branching out into 3d :D Some nice stuff you've got going on. You mentioned that you're focusing on getting good forms, and I usually make heavy use of masking and the transpose tools / move brush in that stage. Some people really… -
Re: Converting sRGB to linear color space in Photoshop?
will also add that linearizing sRGB textures in Photoshop will reduce the quality of your textures! It's all around a bad idea. Not necessarily true. Rather, you need absolutely 16bit minimum to have no visible banding and data-loss for linear sRGB. For the OP. It could be worth it to take a linear icc profile(Elle Stone… -
Re: creating normals from alpha/heightmap inside a shader?
You probably want to get the difference of the values pixel-by-pixel using ddx, I think. Off the top of my head... for CG/HLSL; float heightmap = your height map value; float3 normal; normal.x = ddx(heightmap); normal.y = ddy(heightmap); normal.z = sqrt(1 - normal.x*normal.x - normal.y * normal.y); // Reconstruct z… -
Re: Normal Mapping utility for 3DS MAX 7 and 8!
I'm merely offering the plugin. Maybe my one attempt at getting max to generate a normal map was a horrible experience, and max is just as good or even better if you know how to use it. Time is precious and I guarantee you that even if Max is faster, you can't open it in photoshop and edit out the artifacts faster. The… -
Re: xnormal 4.0 features
Ok guys, I'm gonna ask you something important... A guy asked in my blog asked about the possibility to use xNormal as an offline renderer for animations ( to compute, for example, the AO of an scene's frame ). The way to achieve that is to import/export complete scenes and not only meshes... Imagine: you load a Shrek…
