Hello, I am a beginning 3d artist. Right now, I know about three different methods to create fur. 1. Maya's nHair system -- which as I understand isn't compatible with the Unity game engine. I think it is fine for Unreal? 2. Zbrushes fiberMesh system -- which I do not know if it is compatible with certain game engines, but…
I've run across couple of problems while making a candle blueprint. * Problem number 1 - Shadows. If I leave "cast shadow" on the candle mesh, then obviously the result is not looking good, as you can see: Well, the first solution that comes to mind is to disable "cast shadow" on the candle mesh.
