Re: First Project for my level design class [WIP]
thanks for the feedback it was definately what i was hoping for. As for what was expected from my instructor is showing the basics of what he had taught up to that point. I just really liked the feel of the level. The meshes on the top i will eventually replace as another guy was decorating that part and just seems odd… -
Re: abandoned train station [UDK]
I really like this scene and the strong attention to detail throughout. The one thing that bothers me the most is the fact the largest tree in the scene is the one which has torn through the train station and which is likely the newest. I'd imagine there were trees in the area before this one, which would be larger ? It… -
Re: Direct x 11 Tesellation and parallax map question
It's not using one atm. I just applied a PN-triangle tessellation on my mesh and it cracks some times at uv seams and smoothing groups. The mesh I am using is part of a car that I planned on using Tessellation on instead of normal maps. Epic games has acknowledged the problem on their UDN page but gave no information on… -
Re: The Unnaturals Character Thread
Taking a break from "Foxy" to take a crack at the Comicon Challenge. Right now, I find I'm getting hung up on the feminine curves of the character. They're simple, but there is not a lot of details to hide behind and because she is supposed to be that "vixen", alluring character I would like to try nail that aspect, but… -
Re: id tech 6 - cool features?
Those are almost certainly canned Also somewhat interesting regarding SVO: That slide deck by Jon Olick in the citations seems to specifically talk about using voxels for unique geometry. Apparently Brian Karis of Epic wrote about this back in 2009 on his blog. Think it's a safe assumption this never made it into idTech… -
Re: ZBrush problem - mirror and weld asymmetrical
I had an epic fight with zbrush a while back that sounds somewhat similar. I can't say specifically how it happened, but somehow my model got minutely off the x axis and this screwed everything up entirely, as the change was so slight that I couldn't notice it, but working with symmetry on was further exacerbating the… -
Re: 3D scan for materials and scenes
It really is going to depend on the quality. A good benchmark might be to look at somewhere like surfacemimics's quality/pricing for the texture scans (or if you intend to create full sets of metal/rough maps all the better) photos canned textures are becoming the norm so there's a lot of competition. Megascans from Quixel… -
Re: Obscura's random questions about UDK
You need to use custom lighting for that, also, don't forget to Constant Clamp the Lambert term ;P I remember asking the same question, and Jordan (one of them Epic artist peeps) told me in the thread that using Diffuse directly is showing off all the information, even those you don't need since it's already the diffuse… -
Re: UDK-Tomb Raider Based Environment
You need to work on the trees to get them to feel more like jungle trees, don't forget vines and jungle ivy to spread around in your scene to make it more lush. I think scale is a big issue here as well, place something that will show how big a player will be. Going from the screenshot it screams : EPIC! , yours..not so… -
Re: Blender 2.46
Swizzle: Could you link to that thread? I recently sent a letter of epic proportions to the devs to see about collaborating with outsiders on making the interface more outsider-friendly. Or more specifically: more user-friendly for those who don't like the blender-interface, and who are already experienced with the…
