Good progress so far! The new tiling materials for the floor and wall you've gone with definitely help. Like @Eric Chadwick mentioned, you'll want to look at blending textures (via resources such as the link he provided relating to LOU2.) Even at this stage, you could explore Vertex Painting (this video is a…
After her ascension to godhood and before Messmer’s Crusade there was a brief period of peace between Queen Marika and the Hornsent. Built as a celebration of the two cultures, the cathedral thus shares Leyndell’s golden lineage and Enir Ilim’s heavenly spirals. During the War of the Ancient Dragons however the cathedral…
This is a fine place to post, in future you might get more attention in the 3D Art subforum as you don't have a specific problem you're asking about and this seems to be more of a journal thread. You can ask an admin to move the thread if you like. The asset blending with the landscape is usually done with a Depth Fade…
I have been using ue5 in a lot of different projects since its release. There were a few issues regarding professional work. Can't say for 5.1 yet as I just started using it. The upside is that you always get a wow effect from the clients when they even see your grayboxing with lumen. The same projects look way more…
almost ready to wrap this up. Warped the glass noise around the etching and introduced some iridescence/hue shift to the mat, although it's only really noticeable in motion. The surface is also glinty, but this is not a super dramatic effect either. Dressed the scene out more and tweaked mats on a number of things. The…
@Tzur_H That is a good idea for the cubemap, Since Dynamic reflections arent really necessary in this scene it would probably give better results. I think UE4 still has problems rendering metal materials especially for reflections. Also I think your door needs changing, It doesnt fit the style of the rest of the scene,…
Thanks HAWK12HT . Good to know someone actually use nanite . Wonder what recent games actually use nanite and lumen . I am not sure I see them anywhere based on youtube videos in my youtube bubble . Not much of a gamer myself for a few recent years already. All I see is a few cool demos not actual games I think. Star wars…
The assets are quite good, it is mainly the lighting which could be improved. I am missing a sense of light direction - right now everything feels very (equally) bright. If I compare the big LED light on the ceiling with the surfaces next to it, it has almost the same brightness. I would recommend starting with an entirely…
the Luminance node converts RGB data to greyscale data. Some inputs in maya can take RGB info like the color of a shader. Others such as alpha channels require 0-1 information. If you plug in RGB data straight into an alpha channel it might not work, thus the luminance node. Another option is you can check "Alpha is…
So I'm going to go ahead and bump this thread with my recent learning experience, in case anyone else was wondering as much about this as I was. After a long while of looking around and being broke, I recently ordered an i1 Display Pro. Found it on Newegg for $20 off with a $50 mail in rebate (the deal is still going in…
