Re: Help needed: Artist diving into shader programming!
something like this: ambient = diffuseTexture * ambientColor diffuse = diffuseTexture * dot(N,L) * Shadow specular = specularTexture * dot(N,H) * step(0.0, dot(N,L) ) * Shadow color = (ambient + diffuse + specular) * ambientOcclusion color += reflections you can put the calc for diffuse and specular components inside a… -
Re: Need help understanding xnormal, Knald and Substance painter
No problem :) Don't hesitate to report your experience to Allegorithmic since feedback from new users on the discoverability of the program (or lack thereof) is certainly very valuable to them. They already put a great error prevention/hand holding system in place for resource importing (the popup showing up when… -
Re: Best tutorials for unity?

Re: Walk Cycle Crit
I think it's great that you can see there is a problem. I know you posted it at half speed, but don't do that. It would be easier to crit if you just looped the action a few times at full speed. Also, don't move the camera when your asking for animation critiques. Taking it a step further than acting it out, record… -
Re: Mage WIP
Had checked out his site before; it has a lot of good texturing info, but I didn't see anything on unwrapping. Thanks for the thoughts on placing seams. I have a pretty good idea of the theory behind unwrapping, but as far as the actual step by step of commands / tools to use, I don't even know where to begin. Gonna keep… -
Re: Screws/screwholes normalmaps - minimizing work
I agree with Ryan. Don't assume a contract is set in stone. Alter it or add to it as you see fit, since the agreement is 2 ways. Just don't get too crazy. :-) Ryan, painting out errors seems to be a necessary step no matter what your workflow, so hitting the AO corrections just adds a minute or two, it's really just a… -
Re: Demon Maquette
Beautiful piece, Tully.. I truly enjoyed watching your sculpt as much as I enjoyed your awesome paintings on your site. Of course it would be great if you can spend extra times to share more details in step-by-step manner.. Just pull it out my old bookmarks, and here is the link I used for my sculpt project I did in last… -
Re: SoilChild Texture Tutorial! (image Heavy)
cool Josh, yeah it does seem like a big step from 8 to 9, I find that writing tuts is more draining than actually making the texture, and I find myself detailing every step until I get anxious to finish, then just slamming out the final texture and not bothering to breakdown what I had done in the final stages. Though,… -
Re: Ubuntu 6.10 out!
Yeah, most programs should run on WINE now. I've been using this version of Ubuntu for a couple weeks now. I have a media PC connected to a projector, and the beryl/XGL is fun on a 100" screen My kids love spinning the desktop and making shit wobble. The next version is already beginning and their concentration is supposed… -
