For static meshes, I leverage Nanite, and Houdini is invaluable for this purpose. Trees still have LODs and utilize the SpeedTree wind system. Additionally, I employ Octahedral Impostors when it comes to distant LODs.
Hello! I'm currently in great need of work and open to indie-friendly rates. I prefer full-time positions (remote) but am also open to freelancing. I'm an environment artist with 5 years of experience (studio jobs + freelance, and I can provide my full CV if needed). Previously, I have worked for Pearl Abyss (unannounced…
Here are some potential problems with not combining a mesh: * Some engines have problems with lighting when you have open edges on a mesh. You get light leaking. * Some engines will be creating LODs automatically for your buildings. Having open edges can confuse the LOD algorithm and create a bad LOD. * If your engine uses…
Face weighted normals is not a panacea . They helped mostly on boxy shaped things with geometry bevels. Their main purpose is transferring shading gradients from big flat quads to smaller and thin bevel ones. Not working that good on intersecting cylinders for example. If your next LOD is without those bevels already it…
Looks like flat geo with modeled shingles on the trim/edges. UE5.3 did add support for nanite displacement which needs r.Nanite.AllowTessellation=1 and r.Nanite.Tessellation=1 set in DefaultEngine.ini. Fortnite uses displacement baked into the models for their buildings.
Hi, I am in a situation where I will start stying Game Development, I will test different areas (Environment, Concept Art, Tech and more). I have been offered to keep my current computer (M1 Max 64GB Ram Macbook Pro) at a low monthly rate. Does Unreal have full support for Apple Metal yet? Especially Nanite and Ray…
But I had no problems since 8 month, since I bought this PC ! I work on Unreal 5 with hight texture, ray tracing, nanite !!! I don't understand why sudenly all crash ! UPDATE : my system is compatible
yea if we could get nanite for characters and solve the technical aspects of weightmapping and animating them sure that'd be great, if the average player has the hardware to play games with these features.
