Re: UED3 Version with AEGIA PhysX card
[ QUOTE ] Of course then we're back to square one: Physics being nothing but a gimmick. [/ QUOTE ] It isn't anymore a gimmick than normal mapping, higher polycounts, reflective textures, per-pixel lighting, self-shadowing, shaders, in game music, etc. It can all be used to add mood, and a touch of real-ness to a game. -
Re: Afterburn -> normal map?
http://crazybutcher.cottages.polycount.com/wip/skymeshshaderfull/ I also did some work on dynamic skies, though it has no normalmap use, but I will come back to it once the other effects are done and do a "second pass" on the effects with some pixel shader use. but faking the "height" of the clouds while still just flat is… -
Re: What is the best file format to export texture maps?
afaik compression on PNG isn't modifying the pixel data to reduce the file size, it's compression like zip compression. You don't lose quality, you lose time/cpu because from unpacking the compression. at the least you can set it to lossless just like tga, but with better files sizes but crap photoshop reading of alpha… -
Re: UDIM vs UV sets ?
OK. Well yeah, per pixel I imagine the virtual texture stuff will be significantly more expensive than a standard material but they're in no way comparable cos it would be literally impossible to achieve the same result using standard materials in a performant fashion. That has sod all to do with UDIMs though - they'll be… -
Re: PS5, Series X, (Google Stadia-RIP) Other next gen consoles, lets get on down to specifics
8k for gaming will not happen anytime soon At current GPU hardware progress of 30% gain per generation every 2 years With 4k 60 FPS being still a struggle for 10 TFLOPS GPUs such as a 1080 Ti, 8k requiring 400% as many pixels to be rendered and consoles clearly never using the latest GPUs, thats like 2030 at best -
Re: n88tr's art dump thread
Cliffside 2000x1037 pixels By Alex Grenlie August 31st 2014 Giving photo-manipulation a go. After 3 cans of Starbucks Double Espresso Coffee and no food all day I got a lot done, haha. I just kept going until I felt like it was pretty well filled up. Please leave comments/questions. -
Re: Mech Walker - WTB Critiques
shape and overall wear is a nice touch, only thing that bugs me is it seems to be pretty low resolution in some areas on the hull with some pixel distortion. I'm sure some people would like to see the UV map. There is not as much color variation as I would personally like to see but overall I like it, materials are pretty… -
Re: Normal Map Baking Issue- HELP Please
I find artifact like (small random pixels) generally happen when the rays have to travel too far, or to short. It might not seem too crazy, looking at the relationship between the low and the high models in your scene, but the model might be scaled super big, or conversely super small- causing the bake calculations to get… -
Re: need ideas for modeling
Everyone does weapons, if you want a portfolio to stand out from the rest I'd suggest something unique. That said I'm kind of struggling at the moment too. I just finished making a stylized shark recently and was thinking maybe my next piece could be based on an old pixel game or something (remade to modern standards… -
Re: Efficient UV mapping and texturing
"I have loads of unfinished stuff cause the textures look crap" Post some examples. I doubt efficiency is the problem, probably just bad textures. You can uv map super efficiently and still have a tiny low res texture look good. Its not just about how tight and how many pixels it maps to.
