Errors that either dont exist or I dont understand ^^;;
Errors that either dont exist or I dont understand ^^;; Im following along with tutorials sent to me by a previous college instructor. To help with my learning he basically told me to just copy what I see him doing (Im learning disabled). I completed two different files (MyGameType.uc and MyGameHUD.uc). The first file… -
Re: Weird output with occlusion map
This is my brother's tutorial, made several years ago. It's using an old version of Xnormal so be aware that a lot of the settings used no longer produce the same results. Also, I've heard some people have grievances on this type of "ambient occlusion." Typical AO maps I see don't make much use of a ground plane. Most… -

Re: Art Dump: Imperator and Oblivion
[ QUOTE ] You modeled alot of the high poly into the mesh.. You could of just rammed alot of that geometry into the other instead of cutting it in and some you could of floated on top or used a height map to do it. Why did you choose to model it in? [/ QUOTE ] The pistol is really the only model that has blatant examples… -

Tip-Zero Effort Beveling for normal maps
I've searched the normal mapping thread and i didnt find this tip so I thought I'd post it here. If you are rendering with mental ray there is a superb time saving feature called 'Round Corners'. Basically any hard edges the shader sees are automatically 'beveled' using a bump mapping trick. The cool thing about this is… -
Mecha Runner - UE4 level scripting study

Noob Question - Tri's vs. Quads
Hi all, Newly registered to the forum, so a proper noob in every sense of the word. The thing that got me to register are the challenges set on the forum based on concept art. As an aspiring 3d artist I have been dabbling into the fine arts and teaching myself, slowly but surely, how to model basic geometry and how to… -
Re: Why you should NOT trust 3ds Max's viewport normal-map display!
Thanks a lot for the good read, guys. This has been a very helpful thread. I'd like to share what I have learned from it - and this is mostly aimed at people who are writing FX shaders for the Max viewport: The standard way (the method that I have used and many others) to create a normal vector from a tangent space normal… -
