Re: Tricky decision
The Staffordshire course is genuinely pretty reasonable - but at the end of the day, a degree in games is pretty much useless. Degrees do not get you jobs in games, portfolios do. My advice is simple: 1) If you are capable of self-learning, there are much better ways than spending 3-4 years at University and racking up… -

Re: Albedo Creation Confusion
Metalness is just a constraint on specular values because artists got easily confused in the beginning. It's honestly totally unnecessary now, IMO. Internally (in a shader) it's another way of doing specular. There is no such thing as a colored metalness map. That's the whole point. It replaces specular with whatever is in… -
Re: Custom Toolbag3 Shader - Triplanar Projection (6-sided Implementation)
Finally, After months of delays and pushing off the release. I have decided to release 1.1 of my TPP shader to the public. Unfortunately, I was not able to fix the normal map issue for the time being. It would be nice and I hope that at some point in future this will be addressed but not for the foreseeable moment. This… -
Re: Ever wanted to save out your Diff,Spec,Norm... from a PSD with a single button push?
hmm shouldn't it save the psd as well as making a new tga? I was using the uv toggle by funkybunnies, but yours is smaller (and therefore more efficient? I dont know :p ) Funkybunnie's one usually lags a couple of secs on the first attempt but after that, it toggles on/off instantly. Your one seems to skip the laggy first… -
Re: Toggletator! For Photoshop: toggle visibility of specific layers with a hotkey
Hey Sergey, these tools are great ! I've used your clever "hiding layer visibility" script in the past a few times, definitely a time-saver. (by that I mean : the one relying on layer name starting with "hide " to trigger the action. Really cool for painting under lineart). Now a question for you. One thing I've never been… -
Re: UDK Gloss map HELP
Since you hooked your map up to specular power, it's a specular power map in this case, rather than a gloss map. In UDK, specular power determines the size of the specular highlight, while specular (aka specular color) determines the color and intensity of the specular highlight. You can get a good feel for the numbers… -
Re: CGFX - Polygon Stretching / Uvs - ???
Ok Thanks to the help of a friend, I have a cgfx which is working in FXcomposer. In maya, the result is not satisfactory yet ( and by extension, in FXcomposer too ) because of one parameter which is arbitrary for the moment. Feel free to comment and help. /**** UNTWEAKABLES: Hidden & Automatically-Tracked Parameters… -

Panzer Mech Klasse B
I am opening this topic to upload any progress of my work for the assignment of Advanced Vehicle And Weapon Prototyping. The module wants me to create a giant mech based on some references and images that I am free to chose. I am currently working on the blockout and colour design and I want to share with you my path in…
