Sverchok addon https://github.com/nortikin/sverchok Kind of a Houdini or Max Creation graph for Blender. Have lots of parametric primitives or ways to create your own. A little bit too deep and low level but having a few nice features I have no idea how to do in Houdini or MCG. Works just fine with current Blender version.…
I was wondering if anyone else had come across this problem in Max 8. At the moment it doesn't seem to be happening to all characters, but to a fair few of them. They were all built and rigged and animated in Max 7. If I have saved a character with Figure Mode switched on, when I (or others) load it, it is still in figure…
Assuming you're doing things yourself, I'd recommend Unity. Its much easier to rapidly iterate a useful product even if you're "doing it wrong". UDK and Unity are both highly capable, but they each are a different philosophy of "how to make a game". Which one resonates with you, and what your end goal is, will determine…
Abstraction is something most dont recognize when they in it. Unreal has very little to no amount of abstraction in it, actually in how it works. But that is not to say it is void of abstraction. There is no magic nodes or super slick c++ to save a project for the code you build in it and that code will have abstractions.
in maya 2009, what i do is set the bump map in the slot provided by the mia_roundcorners node and then change the bump mode. heres what the bump mode does according to the docs. bump_mode defines the coordinate space of the bump_vector, as well as that of the return value of the shader itself (which is also a vector), and…
The nose, nose know bounds! Why is it called Nose bound? The shnoze is strong with this one, i am sorry Congrats on this achievement, you are better than i in what we do as i have yet do release anything so you are ahead of the game here. Edit mods: Spolier code doesn't work at all for me.
Lamont, yep, I was thinking the same thing. Could even just be a drop-shadow or something I guess. However this sort of thing makes the shader more complex (and expensive - although I have no idea how expensive it even is at the moment by current shader standards!). I messed up something tonight though and appear to have…
making your own is a bit on the 'easier said than done' side - i'm not exactly well versed in driver authoring but my surface level understanding is that it's a bit of a black box as far as Nvidia are concerned. AMD opensource their linux drivers but afaik not the windows ones. if we're doing conspiracy theories (facts)…
How would one go about making a shader in UDK that blurs a reflection? I cant find any info on blurring a cube map in the engine unless maybe in the dx11 version. I want to do it in dx9. Would I have to manually make 4 different cube maps myself or can I use a custom shader node to write the hlsl myself? I've tried the…
Steam version is non-transferable, as it falls under the software subscription version. I am looking for something compatible with the 'Directive 2009/24/EC Article 4(2) Case C-128/11 UsedSoft vs Oracle' if interested in the legal details. EU only, I know that it does not apply to any other location, but for my usage that…
