How are glass textures for models made? I want to sell assets like glasses or glass bottles to use in games or 3d art, but I don't know, how to make glass textures. Should I just go with colored, half-transparent texture and throw in a specular map? I don't know where and how the sold models are going to be used, so I'm not sure how should I do that.

>>499230 So In case of glass objects I can just post a model without textures?

>>499234 textures and shaders are different
texture are the things that tell the shaders how to behave. but perfect glass dosnt need anything other than the settings in the shader

>>499229 Pic related is how the boys at GTA5 did their glass textures. Make sure you use a shader with refraction to make it look extra good. (not necessary though and takes more processing power)

sup /3/ just asking some questions about the possibility of transferring from engineering CAD/CAM over to 3d Modelling
Anonymous
3d modeling and CAD modeling are just very generally related in that you're working on "3d objects". They approach the problem of model creation very differently though, CAD being very precise but complex shapes are harder to do while normal 3d modeling is far less precise but you can make whatever you want by pushing verts around without much thought.

>>499192 Yeah I know this much, but i'm wondering what the best way to transfer between the two could be
Anonymous
>>499197 shit doesn't transfer, brah
get whatever program you believe you need and start doing tutorials until you're familiar with the interface and some general modeling techniques. Then you can start making your own stuff.

>>499190 In my opinion starting in CAD and going anywhere else is infinitely easier than the reverse. (from experience)
There isn't much value in being competent in CAD, other than understanding workflows in 3D space. (as it relates to creating VG models). Some tools are the same, but that's where it ends. If you're serious about it, get a Lynda account and start watching some game development tutorials, and apply as much as you can with an open mind. You'll still be way ahead of the curve of those starting with no 3d experience. Good luck.

I need help with how to access OpenCL options for faster Cycles Rendering in Blender. I got tired of bullshit of looking up in Google, and not even BlenderArtist is willing to give me straight answers.

>>499208 I see.
Is there at least most effective tutorial for that? How does /3/ handle best rendering by optimizing scene, render settings, [spoiler:lit] and potato[/spoiler:lit]?
Anonymous
>>499209 You either sacrifice graphical fidelity (lower res textures, lower polygon objects), quality (lower sample rates) or money (buy a new and better potato.)

>>499210 Alright, and what do I need to buy to make it accessable? Not the PC atm.

>>499211 If you're trying to get OpenCL to work, just get a modern and decent AMD graphics card. CUDA is where the proper and mature GPU support for Blender is at so it would be best if you get a decent Nvidia card like a GTX 980 or something.

Anyone knows of a VR player that can handle STEREOSCOPIC SPERICAL renders?
I'm a blender user. I want to render my scenes to stereo equiangular and then view them in VR.
The blender gimps posted a build of blender here that has a camera for that:
https://code.blender.org/2015/03/1451/ Day after I asked them how to view renders from this camera they pulled the upload (or maybe it's a coincidence). I still have the files.
Whirligig has no option for viewing this format. He must have modified it somehow this format.
Does anyone know of a VR player that supports top-down stereo rectangular?
Anonymous
Quoted By:
Just use VR Player and just set it to the appropriate settings. It should all be fairly self explanatory.

I made it work by changing the image in GIMP to side-by-side stereo and changing the settings in Whirligig:

VR player doesn't have direct mode. To use extended mode I would have to downgrade to an older version of oculus runtime. Last time I did it the app still wouldn't work in extended.

Question about normal maps
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>499039 Yeah weird choice. It's not too expencive poly wise but of all the details this specific part could be perfectly replicated with a normal map.
Anonymous
Quoted By:
>>499039 While it's indeed a good idea to do those kind of detail via normal, it's not required. The whole model as it is looks a bit on the higher poly side so I assume he wanted to add every detail that he could.

>>499024 People do things differently, it's not worth wasting time worrying about it. Just get things done.

>>499024 Actually. He could of used this for his normals. I'd just convert those extruded parts into flat spots then bake them back on as normals.

Quoted By:
>>499039 I guess that's a first person view model right?
I don't like when guns in games have all their detail baked in normal maps, I think it looks very flat since you are constantly looking at it from a very angled view. Good thing he added the detail.

I know a fair bit about modeling and texturing, how would I go about learning how to incorporate 3d into film and video? What is the best way to learn? What is the best program?
