[DE]Rebecca Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Hello all - a quick update from PBR world! As you know, our goal is to transition every Warframe to PBR - physically based rendering.What is PBR? Here is some light reading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physically_based_renderingWhy does it matter in Warframe? We have some Warframes that are currently not using PBR. If you look at your regular Rhino in your Arsenal and compare that to regular Excalibur, you can see a different in quality of the frame textures.What does the Proto Excalibur Skin have to do with this? If you are a believer in fashion frame, read on. Converting Warframes to PBR - especially Warframes with metallic details - means we need to make decisions on how to allow tinting of those metallics. Proto Excalibur boasts quite a lot of metallic details which we now have to assign a tint to! Please take a look at the Before & After shots below of how your Fashion Frame may need adjusting when this change rolls out. Be ready to adapt and embrace a PBR overhaul in your Proto Excalibur Wardrobe, Tenno!BEFORE PBR: AFTER PBR: This will roll out in the near future - stay tuned for Update notes! 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightmareT12 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 @[DE]Rebecca Hey Rebs, would you mind posting the skin on PBR using the following scheme, which is how the tint channels work by themselves? Primary: Red Secondary: Green Tertiary: Blue Accents: Magenta Just like this: There is something I want to double check and this would help about it because I'm imagining you're merging some tints here, am I right?

If that's the case then it should be all good -- they use slightly different colors by default, which means a different material, if possible, on the old Accents would take care of the contrast.

The proto-arm and abs are going to be a tint-mask divided between Primary and Accent.

You can see this in the screenshot Rebecca posted Guess you mean it kind of fades/transitions from elbow to the hand? I thought it could be the metallics themselves reflecting light. That's why I wanted the actual colors -- it's so easy to spot those things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The arm looks primarily Accent-based, the abs have segments that share the burnt sienna color that is on the Primary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll know soonTM I guess. EDIT: Actually there seems to be some brownish in there, yup. Edited August 22, 2017 by NightmareT12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk, that's pretty prominent bi-tonal abs, even with the change in lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
