Height map work disappeared... help :(
posted a photo below, but all my work from yesterday just... isn't registering? I'm on the same material I was yesterday and I haven't made any changes. Saved my stuff (multiple times), went to bed, and now it seems like it's missing. the error says "No output node defined" but I thought my final base material node at the… -
Re: Vector-based modelling in Blender?
As seen above (pior) you can model quite precisely without the support of numeric value. I started 3D in a vector application and being interested in organics it was a pretty chalk and cheese combination. Primitives and polys were for me a godsend. For game art I am not interested in accuracy to 0.00001 of a mm. For… -
Re: Atlas vs Shape splatter
The solution to a lot of this sort of problem is for the developers to extend the blending capabilities of color fx-maps - ideally by exposing it to the user as a function. -

[MAX] VRay and Lightmap generation storing "Shadow info" on alpha channel
So this 3D engine I'm using(and I can't change the tech sadly) seems to use lightmaps(just simple 2D dds textures which are mapped to the second UV channel in geometry) in quite a particular way for large chunks of terrain. It seems to read the alpha channel from the lightmap and use it as a multiplier to the lighting… -

@gabrielgarga Did you end up finding out if Textools has this function? -
Re: anyone tried armor paint? any good?
Really tried to get into 3DCoat and liked some of the paint functions but that interface can be a tough nut to crack, especially for managing a bunch of layers. Wasn't convinced by the UI, seemed very cumbersome for a somewhat complex task. Btw. there's also 3D painting in Toolbag if you have access to that. Me, I'm still… -
Re: How to look like The Wolf Among Us ? cartoon light / shadow
It's a clever trick. I believe they're using a cubemap. The benefit of using this technique is that it's quite fast since there's no dynamic lighting involved, and you can easily get that toon-shaded, dramatic visual. First, they must generate a "lighting cubemap." You can build a self-illuminated mesh volume with flat… -
Re: Help me buy a new computer for rendering and gaming
Huh, how much of that was actually faulty mainboards or just crappy air flow mixed with overclocking or crappy power supplies? A cheap case or a cheap power supply will kill the best boards and in the eyes of customers and builders they are often the first to be discounted in favor of faster hardware. A V8 strapped to a… -
