Re: Scripting vehicle ui/controls in UDK
hey thanks for the replies :q didnt realise you could use code from UT3 in UDK, that will help a lot. The Raptor from UT3 would be a good point to start from. I should be able to use the Raptor Code to make my own custom Vehicle class where I can adjust the movement and weapons controls accordingly? if I need to set up an… -
Re: Photoshop Normal map rotation tool?
it's pretty easy to code this with tangent-space normal maps. basic concept: save every pixel in to a 2D Array with it's current R and G (and B) Value (B will not change). R and G convert to a vector of 3 dimensions (while only 2 have a value, which is x for red and y for green and z is defined as following) with angle in… -

Re: Foliage Implementation in UDK?
Xoliul - Keep in mind that Alt+S+Click will work outside of static mesh mode as well, but you won't get the rotation and scale settings that come with it unless you are actually in the mode. DDuckworth - Haha, yes, that is a problem. I've had the "towering" effect with some trees before, and it's not exactly the look I was… -
Re: Box mapping in Maya
Yes, look in the Channel box with the PolyAutoProj node selected in the object's history (or click the Options box next to Automatic Mapping before applying it, and set the settings in there). Set "Layout Mode" to Overlap and "Scale Mode" to None, then you can adjust the size of the mapping projection by changing the Scale… -
Re: Are MSI Laptops really good?
I am considering btw these two: Acer Aspire V3-772G -16 GB DDR3,hd-1TB,Intel Core i7-4702MMQ,Nvidia Geoforce GT750M with 4gb DDR3. Lenovo y510p -16 GB DDR3,HD-1TB,Intel Core i7-4700MMQ,Nvidia Geoforce GT750M with 2gb DDR5. I wonder what's the difference between ddr5 and dddr3 when it comes to graphics cards. -
Re: Maya shader question
Glib> Hmm... you sure you had it working in the Viewport? Cause I figured how to do it with the Software Renderer. I had a second look in the Hypershade stock nodes and I cannot figure out any method besides comparing the normals of the sampled surface and the rendered camera in order to determine if the surface is facing… -
Re: maya 2008: bake gradient into vert colour
yeah I want it to behave directionally, so all light in the area comes from x to negative x, but the light just comes from the center of the gizmo with the option checked.. I can't notice any difference using that option to the normal mode there's an arrow that appears when you set it to that, but I can't see the bake… -
Re: Modular roads with unique normal
The basic mechanics of that Witcher technique are really cool. I've used the same/similar approaches for various ID related things in a few games - the huge benefit is that it's not subject to filtering and compression artefacting in the same way that texture based masking is. There are some considerations though if you're… -
Re: 3DS Max Beginner help
Like huffer said, I think the main difference between the two programs is that Maya uses nodes and Max uses modifiers. But to be honest, I find them to be pretty much the same thing - the biggest difference would be that Max' modifiers actually let you go back and forth in history, while in Maya you're mostly limited to…
