TF2 Hat Model - Lighting Issues
This is supposed to be a reddish necktie on the spy's head. The stripes are paintable. Even when i make my hat un-paintable (i basically copied the VMT for the scotch bonnet) it's still pitch black. All my work is done in Blender and Photoshop. Is there some sort of lighting origin i am supposed to set up? Because the hat… -
Re: Slow performence with GTX 950 in Substance Painter
This project here is probably a good typical example: https://share.allegorithmic.com/libraries/1633 That's the project we use to do our live demos at studios and events. I use a laptop with a 960 for my live demos and I use a 980 at home. As for performance differences between 1.7 and 2.0, some people have reported a… -
Re: The wonders of technical art (Unreal Engine)
I did some tests with using a simple volume texture "cache" of an expensive sdf. It was the mandelbulb. I used a 256^3 volume texture (I could probably use lower) to store rough distance, and switch to the math based one when the ray is near the isosurface. I got like 3x fps! from 70 to 200. This is without fancy lighting… -
Re: how do you create tilable textures for uneven floor tiles not all the same dimensions?

Re: Naughty Dog working on million poly game ready characters?
an avatar char will have about 200 2k textures or even more... that will end up in a displacement texel ressolution of 800 million... say they use only 30% of the texture space... so you will have 240 million texel data to displace the geo during rendering... and thats only the handpainted stuff... if you store the… -
Re: UV Packer IPackThat
Gotta agree with this. Even working freelance, this is going to save me so much time in the future that I'd consider it a sound investment at $150-$200. The fact that it's a tax write off and a fantastic tool just makes it an all-around great purchase. I can certainly see the price being a sticking point for hobbyists and… -
Re: Tablet: Pen or Mouse mode?
Pen mode. I mean, honestly, you're holding a pen. If you wanted to use mouse mode, use a mouse and don't pay $200+ for a tablet just to use it like a mouse. Y_M: The latest wacom drivers have a built in display toggle, at least it does on my intuos 4. Another option I've been looking into for that is a relatively cheap… -
