Re: Capture grass
https://medium.com/@EightyLevel/preparing-realistic-grass-in-ue4-8bf54b1fa01c https://www.artstation.com/artwork/1nx0Yo You go outside and pick good grass specimens. Then you throw them into your photogrammetry setup, create the scans. Pack the scans into an atlas. Then use the atlas as modular assets to build your grass… -
Re: How do I go about texturing small environmental assets?
It is good to do a test first to figure out how you want to batch things together. THere is a lot of variables involved so it's impossible to find the right combination from the onset. Get stand-in textures to represent the main elements you'll be working with. e.g. a tiling brick texture, concrete, metal, glass, etc.… -
Re: (UE4) Palace of the mountain king
Came back determined to finish this. When i started it i didn't have the knowledge on how to efficiently do it,I thought i had to unwrap and bake HP/LP for every individual piece, but now i'm gonna try this with tiling materials and trim sheets. After that comes the environment stuff which i have no idea, but i'll get the… -
Re: Question - Top Down Sketch to UE4 Workflow
If you use Maya then why not build it there? Set up your image plane and scale the drawing to real world size. If you draw your sketch with a mm ruler using a 1cm = 1m(or equivalent ) scale then you can just choose an arbitrary wall from your sketch and scale it to suit based on your Maya scene scale. In the early stages… -
Re: Tiling with Unwrapped UVW's?
Its an extremely specific question and depends on way too many variables to answer with any sort of authority. Hell, you may end up using both methods on a single large asset. Generally, you would consult with your graphics programmers/technical artist for a specific project and come up with some sort of guideline for it.… -
Re: Dreams of Halab
Gotcha. Added a bit of a leveling to my blockout since. I'll be breaking up the silhouette a bit more by exaggerating the bent metal and laying out pieces of cloth. Yes I remember exactly what you're talking about. They'll pretty much be modular pieces and tileable textures blended into each other. I'll be planning it out… -
Re: Is there a demand for hard surface artists in comparison to other fields?
Right, though some roles will generally require a lot more hard surface modeling that others. If you're interested in entering the industry and doing primarily hard surface work, shoot for a junior environment artist position. This will (generally) have you doing: Props, Building/modular sets Tiling textures Set dressing… -
Re: Da Dawg Bowl - New Generator Library Release for Substance Designer
Back to the scene now, I've got a modular building layout done and am working on finishing the first four pieces. It broken up into: facade, 1st story, 2nd, and the roof. This is using all realtime lighting due to my great frustrations with how limited baked lighting is. I'm considering making a breakdown of best practices… -
Re: Monthly Environment Art Challenge - May & June 2017 (48)
I'm pretty much done with the tea house scene. Just looking for any feedback. I turned off shadows for the leaves to help make them appear less planar. And I added post process volume to turn down the default bloom in the engine since it made the lantern lighting overly blown. Overall I've kept it rather low-poly. @Skargut… -
Re: UDK SciFi Mining Base Level Design
The problem is in how you laid out this place in the first place. Your landscape design screams linear path. If you are going to keep this design, then the best way to make this less linear is to add in height variation and make the path go through, say, a large building that goes up and has open areas and tight areas.…
