Looks like your mesh is black because you're not supplying the POM node with a light vector input, If you load up the Epic POM content example map, and take a look at the shadow example, you can see how the light vector input works. They use a custom light BP which updates a material parameter collection, which in turn…
:: WIP Takashi's Curse Environment Work :: Some more screenshots of the environment work I helped to create alongside Jack. We have reeled in the size of the project slightly to help us refine on existing areas. [Credit: Blueprint work done by Ben Ashcroft] [Credit: Lighting done by Harry Biggs] [Credit: Foliage by Epic…
I have yet to see a power ranger look that epic, and I'd be more scared if it was a 12 year old that was that well armed. On more of a serious critique though, it looks like your going to almost complete black on the dark pieces which will make it harder to paint in a feaux-Ambient Occlusion. I'd say if it is black lighten…
Thx alex :) Doing a pratice run on unreal. The static meshes and textures belong to epic I only tweak the shaders to unify the colors. The goal was to practice/learn how to set up everything in unreal from scratch, seem more reasonable while watching tuturials on it. Mainly focusing on world building aspect of Unreal. It…
I'm sorry I can't help you other than saying that when I got a chance to talk to some Epic guys about prefabs in Unreal 3 (during an engine evaluation) they said "The guy that was writing the prefab system left the company before he finished, and no one ever picked up the work." He was hinting to us to not use prefabs.…
I will be on NA Pago - Exiles Can't wait. Right before the last big beta ended I managed to take on a world boss with 14 other random people. Boss had something like 1.4 million health and a 600k shield. Was the most epic experience I have had in an MMO in a looooong time. Also, I was only level 11 when we did it so it…
But the point is those people who have an excuse for everything still end up getting more critiques than the average joe. It happens time and time again that the most idiotic threads become 'epic' front page 400 reply threads with 100 people all ganging up on a super defensive OP until they finally either learn to accept…
So far, I've got Deus Ex Collection for cheap (Even though I have the disks, still nice to thave them on steam) and K&L2. I have to say, seeing as its now classed as the ACTUAL Black Friday, the deals they have on are pretty much poo. Was hoping for something epic. The deals refresh at 6pm uk time tonight. I didn't buy…
Thanks for chipping in dralex,the translucent plane method while viable,as you pointed out can be expensive(thought i'd like to know exactly how expensive,i suck at performance profiling),i've also heard that epic uses a cylinder around the player for those kind of things(so it shouldn't be that expensive if those guys are…
Yeah..I could see a decent amount of scripting for an RPG. While Kismet can be used to make an entire --small-- game, but its really designed for unique in-level events, as passerby said. If you hunt around on the epic forums and the UDN documentation sites you should find some good primers on unrealscript, but it's not a…
