Re: WIP, Critiques Needed!!!
Nick's dead on. Don't squish something as important as a control panel for something as unimportant as a noisy block of unseen texture. Flip the squish around, the noisy patch will hide the stretch much better. You also have to think about mip map levels. If you're in the habit of stretching textures, its only going to get… -
Re: UV Squashing in Borderlands 2 on masks for color tints.
Oh hell yeah, I love smartypants solutions like this. 2048² in 2012 really isn't bad at all, and makes total sense if you think about it a little. They achieve loads of variation without extra vram usage, and the shader is probably as simple as yours, with not much overhead. While 'hero prop' probably is a bad term, it… -
Re: sigh... crysis...
[ QUOTE ] lol... well i wouldn't say its good or bad, it certainly works well for them. but it just goes to show that there are many different ways of doing things and its not all about normal maps. [/ QUOTE ] To elaborate on what you said, I ve seen a convention on next gen shader techniques (Farcry 2)and there are two… -
Re: [Chivalry] - Mason Knight - Mason's Executioner
Reply by McGuire · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Arms & Armor, Chivalry: Medieval WorkshopI haven't looked at the helmet tutorial for getting them in engine yet - I'll have to find out when it comes to that, a solution might be having it go down the back? Oh my god, thank you for noticing the normal. As for the spec I've been having issues with the stock material settings making my entire axe, even ares with… -
Re: Some Gamework
I had a quick look on google but couldn't really find any decent examples, mine isn't exactly the best texture in the world by any means but it should hopefully show you the function of a spec. The spec map controls how the light hits your model, in my case I have made a colour spec map so that the light hitting the model… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | May - June (102)
Happy May! Once again, very cool concepts :star: I wanted to try out the eye, specifically have it track the player/ camera. First, blocked it out in Unity using primitives and worked on the functionality. Put the eye into a squashed container so it gets flattened and used a look at constraint with the camera set as the… -
Re: how to make a good specular?
Just make the spec map darker. Basically, the lighter it is, the shinier. The darker it is, the less shiny the prop will be. Also, You only need colored specular maps when the object you are making a spec map for actually reflects light in that color. For example, a red christmas tree ornament. It is red, and thus, the… -
Re: using bitmap in specular power slot.
Still sounds like there is something off if such a large contrast and multiply value is required. Mind showing your spec textures? For a quick comparison, this is what I get with a texture with pure white and mid grey and a multiply by 50. You can clearly tell the difference in the spec highlights:… -
Re: Sawnoff O/U Baikal Shotgun WiP
If you compare the 3D shot with the diffuse texture map in the corner, they're quite different. I think your gun may be so saturated because your spec carries the same color as your diffuse. Most often spec is in black-and-white because specularity is the reflection of the lights around your objects; a red light should… -
Re: Specular Pass Question?
I just placed an omni light in and it's now producing spec passes. I originally only had two MR Sky Portals and it looked as though there were spec highlights present. I've attached the file Fletch, I'm sure it's an obvious solution for someone who's good at passes. Are the Sky Portals actually producing spec highlights?…
