Re: [UDK] Moated Grange Environment
ths is loverly but you need a little more work on the trees -branches on the foreground tree taper much too linearly and need a better squared curve to the taper... also they way the bend doe not look natural enough to me - more variation it the leaf colours seen in the trees, not all types of trees turn at exactly the… -
Re: New Painting Tool. Colour Constructor!
Ah! True, well, the native HCY' algorithm should work then, because it's a double-conical space that results from the formula, without any saturation-fudging like HSL does. The Krita algorithm is a HSL formula to adapted to HCY', so you may find it has the same issue. In which case use the normal HCY' formula, which can… -
Re: using splines to create roots in an environment?
You can't really make this looking decent without making it "too complex". There are several ways to generate very complex splines automatically but you would need like a 20x bigger script. The very first thing that you could do is to reduce the thickness of the spline mesh as it gets closer to the end. Linearly reducing… -
Re: Lighting and Fresnel question
You need to recreate the Fresnel function, not use the standard one that comes with UDK since what you're looking for is a Light based Fresnel as opposed Camera centered one. I think the latest version of UDK has a Function called Fresnel under Material Library. Use that, and stick in the Camera slot Light Vector instead.… -
Re: actors, skeletal meshes, trigger volumes, blueprint
So " I wanted the circle to be green when the player is healthy, and red, when its dying, so I did a lerp between red and green, based on a collection parameter, called "hp". A collection parameter is a parameter that can be accessed by blueprints, and can be changed dynamically. I used a power on this value, because I… -
Re: [STAGE] Street Fighter 2, Bath House, JordanW
Yes, the material for the tile has a vertex blend for Grime, one for cracked/removed tiles, and one for water effects. The floor has water that looks like splotches and vertical surfaces have water that looks like streaks. I store a heightmap-ish texture in one of the alphas of the tile so that the grime can blend in… -
Re: Diffuse Refraction material ala frosted glass
Alright I have a video uploading to explain the overall ideas that went into this material and its execution.. and video just shows the effect better. I also refined the refracting glass a bit, as I had made an error in one part. Not serious, but it makes a difference. here's a new screenshot I'll give a short detail of… -
Re: What was the modeling/texturing workflow and tools used during the Playstation era?
some of those textures have those things that make it look like the model was adapted to the texture sometimes When working with very low polygon models and very low resolution textures there is no way around it, both go hand in hand and have to be tackled non-linearly, all at the same time. It's actually very satisfying ! -
Re: Some basic issues with modelling
Do not use 2 lights, it looks terrible. Now for shading. By default, the viewport is in gouraud mode, or "per vertex lighting". Lighting is calculated on vertices and linearly interpolated between them. You can't do much here to make a better shading exept adding geometry, tweak your smoothing groups... If you activate… -
Re: [MAXScript] Object Transform Matrix3
You can read about Lerp here: http://tech-artists.org/wiki/Linear_interpolation To fix children scaling twice just skip any object that has a parent. for obj in selection where obj.parent == undefined do
