ZBrush - UV Master
I've been searching for up-to-date ZBrush tutorials for UV mapping that don't include additional programs. Right now, I'm working with Blender, Poser and ZBrush and I'm just trying to teach myself how to texture and map strictly in ZB. I'm having a noob issue I think. The tutorials I find say to...

RealTime Texture Blurring in UDK
Hello my fellow nerdy polycounters, I want to share a quick function i just added in a material of mine that enables you to sample a texture of your choosing and apply a blur to it.

Re: The cost of a texture "draw call"? (Quantity vs Resolution)
Hopefully I can deepen your understanding a bit. For the most part you are close to the truth. The items you're 100% correct on I've omitted from the quote. Regarding realtime lighting and shadows: Realtime shadows do require running vertex processing and draw calls for all of the meshes that the light affects. The way… -
Re: Suggestions & / Feature / Request / wish list thread.
Thanks for the feedback, I've added these to our suggestion list as well. Notes/questions for you: * "The gizmo is a little screwy - sometimes rotation is reverse from what you expect."

Re: Minecraft Raytraced
Keep in mind that this is a special implementation(real-time path tracing) with close cooperation with nvidia, and we are looking at almost no geometry. Real world usage is still limited, and it will still take years until we see it implemented on this level in games that has more graphics than cubes. I work with rtx in…
