Re: Moving to blender worth it?
In Blender everything is simpler vs Max . Starting from view port render and shader editor. I once loved shader FX plugin for MAx . Then Autodesk incorporated it and it became almost unusable. Blender shader editor is easier than even Unreal one . You don't have to compile anything . Everything is real time and self… -
Height without pixel shading in Painter?
Does anyone know a trick to make Painter work same as Designer where height doesn't immediately produce shading until you put Height to Normal node on top of the height exactly where you need it ? Mixing height on top of baked normal map + masks adds extra complication and turns everything into utter mess. I prefer layers… -
Re: Stacking Double RGB Vertex color Info into 1 Vertex Painting potential solution.
Unless I am missing something as well, don't think you are missing anything. Don't even need to get the component mask for R in your one> You are component masking a float but it's already a masked float straight from the vert color node, so that shouldn't do anything. The other graph basically ends up multiplying the vert… -
Re: 3d action game development
Okay not a lot of new animations that haven't been seen in this project before but wanted to note a few little animation workflow things that might be helpful for anyone. -Rotation of joints different in unreal than in maya -- unreal resamples animations on import. This can cause rotation differences compared to what you… -
Re: Making leaf veins
There's a nice voronoi node on gumroad somewhere that some of our foliage artists have used to great effect. alternatively you could look at igor elovikov's nodes which shuld allow you to create the same sort of effect -
Do you keep multiple materials in the same .sbs file?
The more I use Substance, the more I'm confused how SBS files were intended to be used. Initially I kept each material in a separate SBS, e.g. RockA.sbs, RockB.sbs, RockC.sbs. But then I noticed that I can put many graphs in the same SBS and it doesn't affect loading times or anything, so I just put all my rocks into one… -
Re: Question about Arnold PNG export
I haven't used Arnold for years and forgot everything about it already. But to render just a beauty de-noised pass with such a shadow requires a black background, not white, in the actual rendered picture and having the actual background still reflecting in your object material . Usually all renderers have a way to do so… -
Re: Problem with Mari Displacements
I assume you are using Arnold? Mari just spits out a texture map, so what you see is what you get. It looks like texture filtering or a low resolution texture map that are giving you this error. You will have to verify inside Mari. Make sure you working in 16bit as well. Personally, displacement maps are overkill for this… -
Re: UDK Blur Shader
I got it! I needed to turn Screen Align off for the scenetexture nodes, but leave the screenpos aligned. I have another issue now though...it flickers. I changed my shader to better reflect my intended end result, which is a sort of impressionist painting effect. Essentially what this does is take the pixels with… -
Re: UE4 compressing textures??
Most of the blurring techniques - real time and non real time as well - are iterative. What this means is it need to do some math X times. So either you can put the same math X times in the material editor with the nodes or you can just use the custom node and make a "for loop". In short, there is no blur node, and you are…
