Personally I´ve always looked on any post-render filter like CA or film grain as a way to break up the perfectness of a rendered image. It´s a quick an easy way to create imperfections in the image which in turn fool the eye/perception into thinking the image is more realistic than it is straight out of the renderer.…
I REALLY don't like how each click pops up a new window for the images. Some of the pop-up images were barely any different in size. The Hallway and Robotic Wall Piece is a big offender of this. The popup for it didn't even show me more images and the image size was barely bigger. I like your UC entry, although it would be…
@Ying - Thank you so much!! :) @Kgizzi - Thank you! As far as breakdowns/tutorials for that effect, I do not :/ Perhaps sometime in the future! Hopefully I can explain it effectively enough right now (it is a pretty easy effect). It is something I do in Photoshop after I render. So I just Google search things like "dust"…
First thing I did was take a trip to the stadium where I was escorted round to take a bunch of reference images, about 475 in total, of pretty much everything. For my analysis I have been using those images to break each stand down into a list of modular pieces: As well as breaking each section of seats down into number of…
Images can contain viruses, and those viruses can be obtained without clicking the image or visiting links. Generally, however, you need to be using an older browser for that to work. The simplistic explanation: Bad person puts virus code at end of really long metadata. Browser loads metadata, but metadata is too big.…
Recce to Warner Bros. Studio Not strictly an update, but I'm still kinda buzzing from the trip, it was FAB. I went down to London (5 hours in a car woo) to go round the Warner Brothers Harry Potter studio tour, as this features The Burrow kitchen. I asked a few people, and emailed ahead, but unfortunately I wasn't allowed…
Hey cgilbert, for copy paste here is the workflow we'd like. Press ctrl + c in Photoshop or ctrl + shift + c in Photoshop to copy an image into the clipboard. In Knald press ctrl + v to paste the image from the clipboard as the colour to normal map input image. Move some sliders around until you're happy with your normal…
Ok thank you all for your responses, this is one of the reference images oh and if 3k tris are too much for a third person then what should I do? this weapon is to be used for the enemies in the game, not the player........making a LOD maybe? and to be honest I don't really understand the whole thing about "baking the…
Some good discussion happening in this thread. It seems we are all unsure of one main thing. What combination of positive vote % + number of votes + art quality + advertising + Valve's interest + Valve's implementation overhead does it take to get in game? It seems like an ever changing, evolving answer. On another note,…
Hey, it's coming along nicely. Here's a really old scripted render effect plugin that does the color aberration effect. http://www.pxfactory.eu/scripts/rgbsplit/rgbsplit.html The basic idea is to render the scene, then take that rendered image and split it into the three RGB channels. Take the Red channel and offset it…
