Re: Shader - Mutiple Gradient Ramps stacked Vertically
All you do is get half-lambert and feed it in as U coord, then get your other value (however you want to select the gradient you want from the stack) and feed it in as the V coord to your ramp look-up. float NdotL = dot ( lightDir, normal ); // Lambert - we'll make it half-lambert when we feed it in as the U coord (i.e.… -
Re: How do you reset the "subobject" gizmo orientation?
Ah yeah, that's probably it. This here. Probably set to Local. You might want World instead, depending.

Re: Vertex Paint vs Decaling vs finding better solution

Re: Act of War RTS and the comical price of fuel
In the States we pay anywhere from US$1.80 to US$2.30 right now per Gallon. This translates to less than 1 brittish pound per gallon.

This a visually-focused field, so it’s only natural that the most effective way to communicate is with pictures rather than words.
