damn, those shader settings look daunting!! The bigger of the two matcaps you shared also crashed for me when zooming. I was able to fix it by clearing out the surface bump texture in S3 and also set the CanvasBump scale to 1 just for good measure...it didn't look like there was any noticeable difference in the visual…
Making a troll head in ZBrush right now with the intent of baking it down, rigging it, and getting some animations on it in UDK. Yet another WoW related thing? Yeah, but I do military stuff all day for work so it breaks things up nicely for me at least. I had been reading up on FaceFX in UDK a bit and it spiked my…
raycasting/hit detection is largely working now. I'm fully expecting to see artefacts where two wall cells meet but it is at least behaving predictably. I think I need to get this drawing from the player's perspective to see how borked it's going to get now...
Hey hey, About time to get some colour and foliage in my portfolio. Not too experienced with it so let's see how it goes! All feedback welcomed, got a lot to learn here. Maya basic blockout - composition will be something like this but with a different fov / camera rotation: Initial grass test in engine, using this top of…
You might want to spend a bit more polygons for the cylindrical objects for LOD 0.They are looking blocky. Overall I cannot comment anything on the project yet as it is something you make and there is not anything referencing from. Place the camera at eye level, about 1.8meters. Thats how we get a better understanding of…
I'd suggest finding a 3D model to use as a guide, to help you figure out the layout. Then decide what the smallest repeatable element is (one triangle and one larger patch), model that as simple as possible, then instance-rotate it around to fill out the whole ball. Sketchfab lets you search for downloadable assets, here's…
Hello everyone. Ever since I've started working with Fluid Dynamics in Maya 2017, I've been struggling to understand why Maya's fluid simulations come across blocky and seemingly "low res" for me no matter what I do. I've looked around everywhere for a solution but I can't seem to find anything. An example of what I'm…
Hi! I have been working on a horror video game along with a friend. Starting out as a University project, we are trying to fully realize it into a downloadable experience, therefore we would seriously appreciate any critique that we can get! We are also trying for the Rookies this year! Synopsis: A psychological horror…
You need to split UV edge when you split vertex normals along an edge (i.e make the edge "hard" or in 3d max terms set different smooth group in adjacent faces. For a videocard it's no difference would you just split the geometry ) Beveled edge on the other hand allows you to keep smooth shading across it. So unified…
I'd thought I'd let you guys know how it worked out. I got the arttest to see if I could match their artstyle, but kindly informed them that I was kinda against offering the source files. ( at least not without compensation.) They understood that fortunately, and I got the general impression that they wanted to hire me and…
