Re: How are you organizing level design for ease of iteration?
What do you guys think about this? We've identified a few ways that you can get a model like this (image below) from maya to unreal. We can set it up in maya, and import in such a way that all these little repeating details come into unreal explicitly as instances. In that case, if unreal will load this model, it would be… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | January - February (94)
@klamante: Looks schweet! Great work. I like how the hand painting blends the overlapping faces / separation of the focus gear mount to the body of the binoculars. @Pep_mepla: Good start so far. I noticed a few missing parts, though you mentioned it's still in progress so anyways. Just a thing to keep in mind is things… -
Re: Stylized Real-time Character (UE4)
Additional notes: I went through a number of iterations on how to model the hair. V1 was just a basic box modeled placeholder while I was figuring out the Post Processing, but by the time I started adding lineart textures to the face I needed the hair to have more visual interest. For V2 I referred to Vincent Ménier's hair… -
Re: Do most studios solely use just one 3D package?
It really depends on your tools engineers. If the management thinks it's worth the time and resources to have them code proprietary exporters/plugins (if needed) for whatever 3D package, while finding cheap ways to have correct licensure for multiple software packages, then it's possible. Typically, however, you'll find… -
Re: Putting UV-coordinated vertices on a plane in Blender
Making a new model from scratch isn't the best idea because then I won't have the UV data, which means it won't be compatible with, say, custom skins. I'm not really gonna do any posing until I have the vertices all straightened out. Recently I tried going with the "Save UV Face Layout" to have an image. Problem is, it… -
Re: [Zbrush] Is there a way to batch save each subtool as its own ztool?
Thanks for the post but that isn't exactly what I need to do. I don't know if the way I explained it was weird, but I have 25 sub tools in my scene of various junk and rubble. I want to make a tileable texture using the draw mode in a Document and dragging individual ztools into place. I don't think it will let you use… -
Re: Advice for 3d environmental artist?
Nice! It's funny because I knew a lot of that, but just didn't realize it wasn't considered non-destructive. Lots of great stuff. I appreciate the information, my man! Ok, I know I said I wouldn't, but I have another question. If I am designing an interior scene, what is the best way to do that with intentions of exporting… -
Re: Making Realistic Banner/Flag for a Game (UE4)
any of the above. If something is too high poly, retopologise it -- anything you get from any program will likely be high poly, its the only way to get those wrinkles, from there you make the decision about what needs to be geometry and what can be handled by a normal map. Model the shape manually without wrinkles and with… -
Re: Crytek Prop Texture Resolution
When it's just a brush placed on a desk, it does look passable, or when it is equipped on an NPC rifle. I tried to make it much larger in Crytek to get a better look, and the result were still muddy. If i scale it up in max before I export it, it looks clean. So one method i could see about getting around that is to export… -
Re: Abandoned Swamp House Environment - [UE4]
I decided to download UE4 and get the barrel and basic understanding of UE4 down before moving on to the next asset. I have some general questions about content management and workflow best practices. When creating assets or content do you guys suggest keeping maybe one master file for props in Maya with everything in…
