Re: PSA: Always back-up everything.
One thing i enabled in photoshop is enabling creating snapshots every time you hit save. Helped me a ton of times where i made major mistakes. you'll find the setting under "history options" in the history tab menu. I once had a case where my photoshop file got corrupted while i was working on it, dropbox saved me there… -
Re: Microsoft Surface
Well this one has a pen accessory and is pressure sensitive. But they haven't said if it's wacom enabled pen or M$ enabled pen. I like the design and form factor. The Samsung Slate has been on my mind lately too. In England stores have already sliced the price of the Samsung Slate. Hopefully they'll do the same at US… -
Re: Watch Dogs: Holy shit.
Well, but would it be really a problem to notify the user that these features could cause performance or stability issues and should be enabled at one's own risk? I'm pretty sure I've seen games with "you better know what you're doing" kind of settings available via game menu. I mean, I can't see how leaving some way for… -
Re: DOTA2 Hero Shader - 3DS Shader Material - RELEASED!
Thanks so much for sharing this! Still trying to get it to work in Maya, though. Shader sample appears solid green. Enabled "Use Diffuse Map" and "Enable Normal Map" on the hero shader.

Re: UE3 Materials: Is this kind of Translucent Material Possible?
By coincidence, I found Martin Palko's website which has a really nice Triplanar shader explanation and material: http://www.martinpalko.com/Tutorials/TriplanarMapping/TriplanarMapping.html (this is the triplanar shader that I am using now). How much more "expensive" is it if I enable "Per-pixel camera vector" so that I am… -

Re: Simple, artist friendly version control?
VCS: A version control system has it roots in programming.. when multiple people work on several text files any changes on the same file will be "overwritten" by the last one who changes this. So in a VCS everyone has an own version which then are tried to merge.. if there are changes in different location of a text file… -
Re: Quick question about zbrush-->retopo workflow.
Yup. XNormal allows you to bake the polypaint colors of the highres sculpt onto the low poly. You just need to 1. Export your polypainted sculpt with polypaint turned on (decimation optional, but if you do be sure to enable the 'Use and Keep Polypaint' option under the preferences) 2. Uncheck 'Ignore per-vertex-color' in… -
Re: Normal maps looking different from Substance Painter to Marmoset?
Another could be when you create a new mesh, I have had issues depending on the setting in substance painter 2 "compute tangent space per fragment" https://support.allegorithmic.com/documentation/display/SPDOC/Project+Configuration The "compute tangent space per fragment" is used to compute and display the normal map.

Maya 2009: Auto-update textures
Maya 2009 does not have the option to auto-refresh textures. One must manually refresh. NEX enables this feature. Is there a means of getting this feature without the need to buy and install NEX for those that only want this feature? I found this script with a search. What sucks is that the user has to manually enable the…
