Re: xNormal - MASTER THREAD
Hey, here's an XML that I'm using to bake a test mesh. Unfortunately, for the Normal Map and Bent Normal Map, the specified Background Color doesn't affect anything in the final bake while the AO Background Color works as expected... any ideas why? <Settings> <HighPolyModel DefaultMeshScale="1.000000"> <Mesh Visible="true"… -
Re: Anyone else worried about SOPA?
SOPA and PIPA may be more or less dead, but there will always be more bills like them so long as the people that want these kinds of things passed hold any sort of power. Point being, if you are a rational human being that believes in Freedom of Speech, Thought, etc, (And live in the US) you owe it to yourself and others… -
Re: [MAYA HELP!!!] Rendering and Lights for Demo reel?
Ok, I'll do 2 posts here. This is a noobtastic GI light dome but it works. I've got another one on my work machine I can show you on Monday if this doesn't work. It's real similar though. Paste this in the script editor and hit enter: //PrerenderPyramid v0.7 - (c) Dmitry "Troydm" Geurkov int $lights; float $intensity;… -
Re: [Help]Linear Interpolation of Three Values
I'm guessing you meant that last bit to be "A:0.0 = B"? If not, replace color.b in this code with 0. Something like this should work... float a = color.a * 2; float r = lerp (color.b, color.g, a); a -= 1; r = lerp (r, color.r, a); You could branch it... but I suspect lerping is easier on the shader. They still don't really… -
Re: Tech Artist - What are you working on: FOREVER Edition!
Took the xyzWindow script for Maya posted here the other day and updated it to be a full transform type-in window that mimics Max. Maybe someone here can get some use out of it (or give some thoughts on improving it): ////////////////////////////////////////////////////title: xyzWindow//Version: 2.0//Date:… -

Re: My experiences with DDS NM Compression
Thanks for the link. The documentation that comes with the install is really brief, hardly cover this topic. This is my take on their notation: Let's say that your precomputed normal map has three channels, RGB. A DXT5 has four channels for you to use, RGBA. A "xGBR" would be as follows R: x (nothing/black) G: G (you… -
Re: Game Industry Layoffs - WTF?
Didn't mean to disparage, There's a community in Dragon Age Veilguard that supports Luigi, even going so far as to recreate him as a companion. https://www.reddit.com/r/DragonAgeVeilguard/comments/1hfclxb/luigi_mangione/ Really messed up. I'd rather not bring Luigi into talk about game industry, best he remain on reddit… -
