Hello, I'm creating an sandy environnment, I'd like to create sand piles as it's a abandon old place. Here is my current setup: I have a plane that I 'bumped' a bit in maya as to create a pile, and I then apply my material (as seen below) that has the floor and sand that can be vertex paint. I then vertex paint the sand…
Hi Eric, thanks so much for the kind words and for taking the time to look at this! First, I want to thank you for creating those sample assets - they were invaluable as benchmarks for testing the importer throughout development. It's been great having high-quality reference models to validate against! You're absolutely…
Hello, based on another post I made about the topic it was suggested to post about some rocks I created for the latest game I worked on. The game follows a semi stylised art direction which took a lot of trial and error to reach the result we have today. Here is a quick breakdown of the process I put in place. 1. Sculpting…
I like your attention to detail as far as I can tell a very high degree of accuracy going on here, just by zooming in on those tracks (...btw an element that's kinda my thing) because usually not only the largest part but also screen space coverage as well, so stands to reason if modeled correctly then consistency will…
Hey guys! I am completely new to ....the industry. I've discovered UE4 about 3 weeks ago and so I decided this is what I want to do. Even if I just finished law school , this is my passion, I've been a gamer pretty much my entire life, and I know for a fact that with hard work I will succeed in this domain, cause it's the…
Hi all, hopefully someone will be able to answer this: I'm trying to create a colour look up table (LUT) in Photoshop and save it out as a DDS. However, the export process I'm following to create a LUT - only saves it out as a 3DL, CUBE, CSP or ICCp. I'm not even sure this is exporting properly anyway as whenever I apply…
You can crease hard edges & subdivide before dynameshing to preserve curved surfaces after dynameshing. The OpenSubdiv Loop-type subdivision in particular handles very tricky ngons that booleans create like a boss. Alternatively you can look into baking round edge shaders.
Hello, I am looking for some help. I just got given a project to create a new character which can be used in the game Street Fighter and I want some help on how I would go about making this. I have reference pictures to make the basic model. My idea was to create the basic model in 3D Max and transfer that across to zbrush…
We can transfer normals, weight them, and that's already super cool ! haven't you answered your own question? ..... it's not painting the normals as such but you could create a "coarse" mesh, cage as it were, and use that with "transfer normals" to perturb the normal on the target mesh ?
Trying to create a bunch of foliage assets for my scene. I am familiar with speedtree and will probably use that for the majority of the work. But is there anything I should be looking out for from a technical side in terms of optimization? What's the best, most efficient way to create a bunch of foliage assets thats not…
