Re: AO + transparency + MR
If it is for baking with RTT , Max9 has got a nice exclude option in the Ambient Occlusion(MR) element...in prior max versions one way to exclude objects is to assign them a specific G-buffer ID, than in the AO shader there is an option to include/exclude objects by this ID(To exclude objects enter the ID nubmer with a… -
Re: Portfolio Spring Cleaning help
From your 3d section I'd remove the characters, the unfinished image with those 2 guns. The image second the left on the bottom row, the one with a building made with like..satellites or something. Also...do you have any high poly models? I think right now you're limiting yourself too much with just low poly+diffuse… -
Re: The Big Lebowski WIP
Once you've got these bad boys done, I can help you get them into Source with all the updated shader stuff if you like. You'll need a normal map with the spec map in the alpha channel as a bare minimum (the normal map can be completely flat, just a fill with 128, 128, 255 is fine), and the diffuse map as well. You can also… -
Re: [UDK] Fantasy Cottage Interior
ok, looks good so far, love the fact you changed up the lighting, there seems to be some weird shadows on the table though, i'm gonna guess thats from the objects on the table. the mesh idea for the life shafts should work well, just remember to do "two sided" in the material editor, i'm sure you know that though. also, i… -
Re: Fantasy Graveyard Mini Scene
Thanks for the comments everyone. I'm really glad you like the foliage, it's the first time I've ever attempted modelling proper plants, ever, even surprised myself with the outcome. As such, I agree it seems a shame to hide them away behind the railings so much, I'm going to do some work on the front today and with any… -
Re: Uberren's Hand Painted Improvement Thread
This is really coming along nicely Ren! You'll find your own comfort zone with the pipeline but what you've done so far seems fine. Some tips and tricks for a quick Cavity map is if you take the normal map, copy the red channel (emboss it by 0 degrees) and copy the green channel (emboss it by 90 degrees) and overlay the… -
Re: Gas Station [UDK]
Nice! Although if I were you I would have made tiling textures for that building. Also does that gas pump have a spec map? If not you should to get some materialy defination in there! and why is there a weird ridge between the road and the sand? I think you need to tighten up where the road and sand meet as well It is… -
Re: [ Master Material Issue ] Material looks like in plastic vacuum bag
Height lerp with TWO heightmaps, thats the one you are looking for. heightmap goes into height 1, heightmap 2 goes into height 2, vertex color goes into phase, scalar goes into contrast. diffuse 1 and 2 can be ignored, they don't necessarily need to be used. Then this node will return you the lerp alpha with or without… -
Re: Gunne - King Kid Hoarder
Thanks alot i appriciate it :) I did have a bit a trouble with the face for a while but im glad its working! Thanks for the feedback too, material definition is something im still learning i guess, its one of the things i have problems with in this pieces too. Okay ill avoid putting highlights into the diffuse next time,… -
Re: Poll: Excited for Quake 4 ?
The specular mapping in that engine is soo overblown, that everything looks like cheap plastic. Naah, you just have to keep your spec maps really dark. I think they appear about twice as bright ingame as they are on your specmap (and remember that they are added to the diffuse lighting!). Just keep your values very low…
