Re: The Snow and Ice of Uncharted2?
Been messing around with something in UED. Don't have the control I want over it yet. But should be cool. Will post the shader network if it's worth it. EDIT - Here is the progress I've made. Right after I uploaded the files, I got specular masking properly, so the spec for the snow is separate from the spec for whatever… -
Re: Flintlock Pistol
Andrew has a really good read for understanding PBR: http://www.artisaverb.info/PBT.html Although he uses a metal mask where as it seems you are using spec so where he is making his metal coloured in the albedo you will want to do that in your Spec instead, In general most metals are really dark in their albedo's as… -
Re: FAQ: How u make dem mats? Hands-on mini-tuts for making materials and texturing
The paint itself on most ww2 tanks is a matte finish with what I assume is high specular low gloss. Generally I've stuck to greyscale spec maps but always wondered if I should put some color into them. The gloss tends to be pretty dark when ive done them. Here is some reference to give you an idea Pedro.… -
Re: The Monthly 'Newb' CHARACTER Challenge of Feb 2014
Yeah It was globally clear before but the metalness map and the spec map started to confuse me. I guess that you still need a Reflectance map (just a new fancy name for the spec due to the fact that the specular light isn't just a value but a full range of reflective information of the environment) even if you use a… -
Re: Fantasy Village Props
Thanks =o -- Yep, still at AI, just started final quarter so I've only got a few months to go. The engine's a combination of Ogre (Ogre3d.org)and PhysX and some other libraries. It's basically my personal project as I'm sort of a hobby programmer. There's sort of a nice foundation right now -- It's multiplayer with a… -
Re: Pilot and Brutus
You bumped your own thread after less than 2 hours? Your brutus character looks like a lowpoly diffuse only model. I can't see your wires well enough to really tell where you're putting those 12k tri's. It looks lowpoly due to things like the spikes on his back, the silhouette of his shoulders/chest/legs where the edges… -

Re: Post one nice photo you've taken recently
Thanks alot man! appreciate it! :D this one is probably one of my most succesful photos atm! Ive spend an hour between mice, from 30 cm away up to 2 meters, this took long, so even if they are used to some people walking by, sitting/standing still is really key to succes here. (meaning, besides your head, you do not moving… -
Re: Marrow: My first serious Mudbox sculpt
I'm still learning what to do and what not to do with Mudbox, and I'm still learning a lot about Maya. I only just started using Maya this March because of the 3D character design class I took as part of my degree. Also still learning about topology. I'm not as much of an artist as I'd like to be, which is why I'm doing…
