Re: Jabberwocky Tower [UT4]
Got a WIP for the tree, also I never updated the update for the Doors for the Staircase bottom and the Top. The tree is a real pain because of it (kinda?) Hugs the tower, the floor is inclined, it interacts with some rocks and the flag too. But I think that by using these references it will come along well. I need to… -
Re: Dealing with feedback.
While I do kind of agree with this, on the other hand I also don't feel it's too terribly extreme given the guy's posting history. I'm not going to link to his profile, but suffice it to say that his threads and posts were full of nothing but vitriolic bullshit and butthurt over feedback that was entirely reasonable, and… -
Re: The wonders of technical art (Unreal Engine)
I'm mainly testing on 2k document size, and then i can have 100 layers with acceptable performance, fully interactive painting. ~ 30 fps. But this will still depend on some factors. I will add features like the curvature to mask, with some dynamic parameters, and some other similar features to make things easier, like in… -
Re: Star Wars: Ep VII The Force Awakens - *spoilers*
I really liked Rey's character. Solid acting, great interaction with other characters like Fin, and the character development didn't seem unnatural. She was already set up to be capable of handling herself in a fight, and her opponent was heavily wounded by two other major characters. That wasn't Coruscant, but Hosnian… -
Re: Mobile Cross Platform Capabilities
It really depends on what you're trying to accomplish with the cross platform implementation. If you're using a library like photon for realtime interaction then everything should be good to go out of the box, you just need to have two different builds with each one being tailored to the specifics of each platform. If… -
Re: built lighting in UDK looks like total garbage.
@LMP Yup from what I understand characters and generally anything moving gets dynamic lighting, but I guess it's not considered practical to utilize dynamic lights on static meshes (unless it's a game with interactive lights or a horror game where there's flickering lights and shit) however, since it would appear NOT using… -
Re: How vital is the knowledge of shaders
As an environment artist I think it would be more important to know how materials work. How the diffuse/specular/gloss textures interact to make the final image. For me, when I first started to learn shaders I found it helped me make better textures. Knowing how everything worked under the hood helped me understand how to… -
Re: UDK - Huge Sci-Fi Foundry [WIP]
@ AlexCat Personally I like this setup of using different colors of lights that are warm, rather than keeping them uniform. Personally I think it looks much more interesting, rather than sticking to a very linear set of hues. But that's just me. As for the tunnel I believe it looks better with some cooler fog tones thrown… -
Re: UDK versus Source Film maker(SFM) for cinematics.
Game engines tend to be about interactive animation with the player typically controlling it. SFM is a cool tool, but there is no way any real animator would prefer animating in it rather than Maya or Motionbuilder. SFM seems awesome for people who want to do Machinima or don't have access to a real animation program. UDK… -
Re: VA might pay for Gnomon. And I have questions for Gnomon students.
I plan to pursue modeling and texturing. As for the elective classes I would take a rigging class just in case. My ultimate goal is to become a concept artist working with 3D. And here's the problem. I also need to learn either Unity or Unreal because I want to make my designs kinda interactive, or at least turnable. I do…
