Re: Maya Vertex Chameleon
Hm, wonder if anyone uses this anymore? I found out about it, got curious, found no prebuilt plugin for Maya 2016 but found the code on Github. Then I got compiling. Now I have a binary that can be loaded through Plugin Manager, but none of the functions in the compiled code work :/ More info… -
Re: Snow Stories!
In Minnesota about a 2 weeks ago, we went from 70 degrees on Thursday to snowfall on Friday (the next day). Last time it snowed an insane about was about 5 or 6 years ago I'd say, I was going down to Iowa for a funeral. Counted 107 cars/trucks/semi's/buses/RVs in the ditch. 125 if you count the motorcycles in the back of… -
Re: ESports, a global phenomenon.
"gg" means "Good Game" according to the Vice documentary (see first post), in Korea the Shoutcasters scream "GG!" at the end of the game when the Towers blow up. And by "Shoutcasters" I mean - commentators. And by "Towers" I mean - Inhibitor Towers and Nexus Towers One of the quotes from the Vice documentary, more people… -
Re: Albedo viewing mode in editor?
I think there's a CVar to disable Post Effects too, but I'm not sure how far that goes since there isn't really a post-process editor to my knowledge. It may just be the bloom and HDR settings disabled. In the Art and Technology behind Crysis 3, there were a few screenshots of Crysis 3 levels during development in… -
Re: [PBR] Physically Based Rendering Bible
the general rule is that the the reflectivity of metals is between 180-255. to further what Laurens is talking about: when texturing for PBR it's very important to take quite a strict layering approach. if you're using photoshop, i'd suggest using a new group for each specific material you're texturing, and stick to that… -
Re: My first map for Counter Strike Global Offensive
I dont think this is the right forum to get feedback, most the people on here just do art, no any type of level design. Check out World of Level Design's forums, and get a 5v5 match going to get some feedback from people there. I play a lot of CS and just from a couple rounds on the map I think its a little CT sided. That… -
Re: Looking to build a desktop but....
I succumbed to temptation on a Fry's Electronics run yesterday, and purchased the necessary components for a new rig. After mail-in-rebates, I spent no more than $325 on it after tax. I have an extra monitor at home, so that did not figure into the price. It's not a 733+ system, but I'm going to use it as a Linux box so… -
Re: Is PC gaming dying?
Actually I found to keep console games from going stale rotate them and then they seem to last forever. I still have SOFII and Wolfenstein on cd yet to install, still gonna buy UT2004 off ebay but yet to bid. My gaming time is about equal to how much time I spend urinating but UT2003 still rocks my world and like Ely said,… -
Re: Scale each square of the Vector noise by individual origins??
Sure possible. But you wouldnt scale the squares themselves. More like creating a mask for them, where the tile size is adjustable. it would go like: Take a 2d coordinate that has the same vector length as the xy elements of the noise grid. so in this case, it goes to 5,5. then put frac on this, and subtract 0.5. then put… -
Re: Hi! My very first item (or 3d model) lol
Hmm I noticed something. When I use a blank template for normal maps (128 128 255) ... I don't see any changes in my model in the portrait view. The model looks exactly the same as before lol. And you gave me another idea. Perhaps I can make each leaf stick out a little at different elevations in the high poly model? And…
