My only gripe with CB is that I want to import low res meshes specifically to unwrap them XP

CD Legasse @cdlegasse.bsky.social · 26/04/2025

You should look into cozyblanket! It's probably the chillest way to retopo and unwrap a high res sculpt, and on the ipad no less :P

For anyone interested, here's a before and after. The right attenuation really has a profound impact on the vibes in a scene.

Some time ago I remember writing custom falloff algorithms for use in GZDoom, because the standard falloff was linear and looked like absolute ass. They rejected my PR. XP

The method I use is pretty simple, and involves a dithering texture.

000

CD Legasse @cdlegasse.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

The methods I used here for the dithering and color quantizing could be adapted to any shading style honestly.

CD Legasse @cdlegasse.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

I'm just using standard high res pbr textures for this. the magic here happens in unwrapping the model to texture space, and rendering the pbr lighting to a surface, then applying that surface back to the mesh as an unlit texture. This method won't work with the way you're doing things.

100

CD Legasse @cdlegasse.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

If you're interested in another point of view, I'd love to take a look at this and maybe help you get the lighting to a really solid place. Here's a look at the final result from my last time doing this in GM.

Are you clamping your light values to 1?

100

CD Legasse @cdlegasse.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

The solution I came up with was brute force, every other frame, I'd unwrap the mesh in 3d, with a pbr material, onto a surface the same size as my textures, then I'd use that projection as the texture, thereby limiting shading to a texel. It was inefficient, but pretty lol.

CD Legasse @cdlegasse.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

HEY! Someone copied my idea! LOL This is great, next thing you should do, paletize and dither your resulting texels! It looks great <3

Wow, necro post amirite? I was the sub contractor hired to build Starr Mazer DSP. I've since quit the company for reasons ;). But I kept the code I wrote when I quit, so I'm building it into something bigger and better. So if you had any interest at all in the gameplay of DSP, give me a follow <3

That's okay, I actually quit the company who hired me to work on it, drama and whatnot. Anyways, as a severance package, I got to keep the source code, I'm I'm reworking it into something bigger and better <3
