Re: Beginner Environment Artist Looking for Tips
Make a high quality prop first. Since environments involve a construction of large and small props, it'll be easier conceptually to focus on a single, well made asset. Looking at your work right now, I think you immediately need to understand the following: 1) What is Physically Based Rendering, and how do you make PBR… -
Re: Pack and later split several grey images in and from a single 32 bit channel?
Each cube is masked in by a tile_sample_blend_2 function that you find a big stack of in the final pixel processor. (this bit) The above looks like a kernel filter but I think that's misleading - the offset sampling appears to be there to support multiple pattern inputs (which are compacted into an atlas) rather than being… -
Re: Think you're good at drawing from memory?
[ QUOTE ] I wonder what resolution human eyes are, and whether the brain has a decent compression algorithm... [/ QUOTE ] From wikipedia: "The human retina contains about 125 million rod cells and 6 million cone cells."

I had an idea for armor that I thought was great but the 256x256 texture resolution and the… -
Re: Theoretical LOD system?
in general if you look at most algorithms that get widespread adoption in graphics it is because they cover the highest % of use cases. for instance you can do depth sorting in a variety of ways. but zbuffer is used 99.9% of the time because it is simple, efficient and works 100% of the time. its sort of a Darwinian… -
Re: Programming Language Order
personally i think starting out with max script or mel is harder then starting with a language like c or python. for one there is a huge amount of books on those languages that teach you programming basics. that's what you need in order to make sense of what programming is and how tho write good programs. how to structure… -
Problem with Opacity
Hello, everyone! I'm fairly new to Substance Painter but have a pretty firm grasp on PBR materials so far. I'm working on a scene and need a glass material on part of a bookcase I made.
