Well, I know shadow gun. They have some great ideas. Though I do not need most of their shaders. I'll look at the wind stuff at some point. Mine is quite simple and do not look very good. I do not use alpha test. All trees and vegetation is alpha blended. What are the hacks ;) ? My view is fixed and I sort the polygons in…
Managed to get the remainder of the block assets setup and into UE4 (Vegetation, additional props, raised steps and building blocks). I wasn't that happy with the space from the previous post so started looking at how it may have been originally envisioned by the architect. This led me to create an enclosed playground area…
@Rurouni -- Thanks, good suggestions, I'll dirty up the walls some more. Also, the walls are actually supposed to be smooth plastic (if you've seen the movie Moon, or I guess 2001 A Space Odyssey would also be similar), so I guess perhaps the walls aren't reading quite as intended. I'll have to work on the spec/gloss a bit…
Thank you for being so constructive. I was going to rework a few things into the texture based on other posts. I will definitely take your advice to heart. I was dumbing things down because the effects I first went for would not have gone well in a game like WoW (more like gears of war). But you are right. I will go with a…
@samifira : Thank you! @Kid.in.the.Dark : Thanks for the detailed feedback. I've tried the front out of metal and concrete and just doesn't look good. I also added more grunge as you said. The pipes are there to break up the symmetry and add some rounded shapes that break up all the square shapes. Also i added some steam…
@refriedspinach - Do you think the branches would do better with a mesh like ftorek wrote? I made them a bit hastily when I felt I needed more detail to the vegetation, which might have been a misstake. @The_Blenderer - I suppose I could add some lichen and moss with vertex painting. That might work. So adding some…
Thanks for the feedback so far. I worked some more on the well textures and cleaned up the scene to get the well more into the focus and get rid of the clutter. Next I am going to work on the ground. Adding some grass areas for vegetation to grow on instead of plants popping out of the stone. Deliberately got rid of the…
Wanted to do an enviroment piece, I've always avoided these, but no more! Here were the thumbnails. And here is the current WIP, I feel like the image itself is a bit boring, Im gonna see if I can add some more interesting stuff to it. I was thinking of having the castle be a lot more ancient. However, there were some…
we often render billions of polygons at work but that is mostly for environment related stuff, foliage, vegetation and the like. Character wise, its all down to displacement. Remember though, even if you are displacing the mesh you still need to have enough detail in the mesh before displacment to capture your desired…
I can't imagine why you'd need a knife that big in school, Sonic. I have a kitchen knife in my room that big, and I don't think I've ever used it for anything other than cutting vegetables. Do you do a cookery class? ¬_¬ Whenever anything bad happens anywhere, there are always the ultra-paranoid who try to ban everything…
