Re: Physicaly based viewport shader for max?
Not exactly right! They absolutely need specularity, since it's part of the BRDF equations which drive these shaders! It's the core of a "microfacet". Specular map is 100% must. RGB Specular map controls the f0 of the Fresnel term which controls the reflection intensity/Fresnel and color. The gloss map simply controls the… -
Re: Blender dark pixel artifacts while rendering - How can i solve this?
this is cycles, and the texture is just a simple white (the default color of the the diffuse node). Sorry i forgot to say this, but everything is at a default value, that's why this bothers me. Lights are not baked. The only light comes from an emissive shader that's part of the lamp. -
Re: Wordpress Users!
Im using wordpress, but its really basic setup at the moment that comes with restrictions I am not happy with due to a theme. Main issue I have is that page width is too narrow so I will have to research how to either extend it or just use another theme suitable for portfolio. In the end of the day u get really flexible… -
Re: Want to learn more about shaders :?
Get cracking with ShaderFX. I think it's the single best way to get into it as a non-technical person. You can gradually work your way from mastering node logics towards actually reading and editing the HLSL or CGFX code. Yes, you're using Maya, and yes ShaderFX is for Max. Shouldn't matter: Max has way better support for… -
Re: Getting in the game industry : some (serious) questions.
Start off on your own, you dont need a team to make a start. Get a solid idea of what you want to do , and write it down, then start expanding on it, if you are scetchy about how some parts will work thats ok, you can come back to it. As soon as you know enough to start a demo youre set to do some coding. If you can get… -
Re: TGA Physically Based Lighting CGFX Shader for Maya Viewport
melviso> No I'm afraid not. I'm not sure if it's possible at all with CGFX-shaders in Maya? Autodesk did add their own DX11 Material shader node in 2013.5(?) and obviously they get the same shadow possibilities with this shader as the rest of their shaders, so it should be possible to get real-time shadows in a similar… -
Re: Tri vs quad modeling questions
I happen to know a guy who coded on 50 Cent 2 and their art dept apparently uses just Maya, his previous place did just Max. I'm on Maya cos it came with my computer, but I have Max trial ready to install. I have been told that it's less about software and more about core skills, in that if you can model well, you can… -
Re: geometryshader driven muscle rig
Quite honestly, anything done in the GS can be done on the CPU. The issue is exactly what you said- encoding some vertex attributes or constants. Doing things in shaders allows them to be much more self-sufficient and requires no additional engine code. I haven't looked at GS performance, but yes I'd imagine it wouldn't be… -
Re: The Portfolio Predicament
A halflife2 mod with an NDA? I know people have posted this before me but that is completely ridiculous, they are taking themselves way to seriously and obviously focusing more on the idea of them being professionals than actually creating a fun mod. I miss the days of Quake1 where a coder would just mess around with the…
