Re: Texture Photography: tips and tutorials?
Yeah this is all good advice. Here is some more 1. Make sure to shoot at base ISO, usually this is ISO 100 or 200 on DSLRs. This will mean the best image quality (most dynamic range, least noise, and best color depth). 2. If there isn't enough light to get a fast shutter speed at low ISO, a tripod can be handy. If you've… -
Re: UDK Mobile Controls
Sorry, it's me and the kids today, so I didn't get to it till a few minutes ago. This should get you started. Just make sure you replace my KActor with one of your own. When you swipe up it will jump. Copy and paste this into Kismet. Begin Object Class=SeqVar_Object Name=SeqVar_Object_2 ObjValue=KActor'KActor_0'… -
Re: Hazzard65's Portfolio
Figured I'd write up all my thoughts, since people aren't being too helpful (;P) -Homepage is barren. The less clicks the better, so why not just add more images below that single one, and have me scroll along your main work. -Overall, too much stuff. There are too many pieces, including a few clearly old/bad ones that… -
Re: Not enough Geo?
I think you're overthinking it a little. If it looks good in the viewport, its going to bake fine. If its obviously messed up in the viewport the bake will be messed up too. The projection angle doesn't change the angle of the mesh itself, so it just has to be flush(or nearly flush within a certain tolerance, generally… -
Re: UT3 Map WIP thread
Tinman, Gmanx: Agreed. I'll go back and make all these touch-ups after testing in game. I can't totally trust max's viewport for how it'll turn out, but if all this crits still stand once viewed there, your ideas are going in! Johny: Funny thing, I actually went into the blue channel and REDUCED the contrast of the texture… -
Re: PBR: The Problem with Greyscale Metalness
Sorry Perna, not a very good writer :( With radiance's latest post I think I have a concise breakdown now. @radiancef0rge That's what I'm saying. In the original implementation the metalness workflow is a 2 or more BRDF layered material setup. It lerps between a metal BRDF and a dielectric BRDF artists define, after both… -
Re: 3DS Max: UV Script to weld Overlapping vertices.
It can easily be done as a script (or at least synchronizing the vert positions can be). The problem is processing the data quickly. Maxscript is not a fast language, and iterating over and matching the positions of thousands / tens of thousands of vertices could take a long time. Anyhow, here's a simple/unoptimized script… -
Re: Northern Ireland: 1983 Project
Alright chaps, got a load of stuff to update you with tonight. I apoligise for the sketchy information relating to poly count on several of these pieces, but as I don't have a PC that can run 3DS max, i don't have the ability to check the poly count before i put work up for critique. I'll hopefully be rectifying that with… -
Re: UDK Dungeon Environment
Gosh, I wish I could just open up your level and click all the check boxes to activate features... You lighting only image tells us a lot of important things: 1) Your materials (textures) are too dark. As you can see, even in the brightest of lighting areas, your screen shots are almost totally black. This is NOT a… -
