i love making matcaps its always so fun to really focus in on the specifics of what makes a material unique and try and replicate it :3

a tri is fine in a place that doesn't move/deform and isn't going to get subdivided. it's a key part of low-poly modeling and you shouldn't feel bad for using one. check how it shades using matcaps to preview and if it's fine, it's fine.

Omg asked oomf for help on materials bc I couldn't figure out the transparency on the skirt and they added matcaps to the gems and everything ......... this looks so good

From what I know, some shader-like effects could be done on the PS2 CPU because of the unified memory making that accessing relatively cheap - plus probably some prerendered matcaps putting in good work.
Don‘t quote me on that though, I‘ve not done PS2 development :)

Incredible. Seeing the base topology really shines a light on how much weight the additional maps can lift. Thanks!
Got me thinking about sss and clearcoat on my next project - been relying on matcaps. Appreciate the tips, dude! <3

Pretty sure I just took one of my favorite selfies to show off an asset I spent way too long adjusting the shaders and matcaps on.

Definitely! This is just a Viewport Shading/ Lighting option called MatCap
This tutorial by Ryan King covers how to create your own MatCap and use it as a Viewport shading option.
There is a default MatCap shader that looks like a normal map, mine is just a tweak :)

Swordtember 15 - Knight of the Horn Sword
I think this is my favorite Swordtember creation.
The blade is a bugle with a lightsaber "♪" symbol, and the armor is all just made of tubas! Threw in a little Black Mage flair too.

The ancient arts of..everything is better with layers. This one is done with Poiyomi 9.3.6 in unity using the realistic lighting model. On top of using reflections and specular I have two matcaps Bassenji made layered over the different colors that act as a middle layer.

I updated my 3D Camera asset and added a "fisheye" option, so you can take fisheye pics!
I also added a world prefab to render 3D pics in your VRChat world.
Technically, the fisheye pics can also be used as matcaps. Not ideal since not true 180° pics, but it kinda works.

I have many things enabled. Pretty much use all emission slots, and then rim/glitter, decals, matcaps, etc. And Ziggy is split up into too many parts. Less so than a rex, but still difficult to manage good performance with.

Working on some new matcaps. Will probably throw them on Jinxxy for free later.

Matcaps, from a few months ago (end of march, time flies :( ). I wanted OOT-like metals to be possible in my engine, for some reason I thought they were more involved than they actually are, pretty much just a single shader. #gamedev #indiegame

Now I'm thinking about it, I'm really surprised LL never thought (afaik) about adding matcaps at any point...

So my iridescence is just matcaps, which I think I can easily import over emissions, from what I read. I'm curious how I'd put in my laurels since they're purely shader-driven

4k Textures are not needed!
Stuff like Matcaps & Noise texture can be at 500 or lower even.
Trust me, only someone slamming their face into your meshes MIGHT notice those things being low res.
1k or 2k for main textures is more than enough.
