Look into edge decals and distance field material blending. Right now the meshes have pretty sharp edges and sharp (i.e. no) blending between adjacent surfaces. Maybe look into edge damage or at least chamfer some edges here and there. Also, even though poly counts (!) are not an issue anymore its still a good practice to…
Yes, you can do Maya-style hard/soft edges in Blender pretty easily (more easily than vanilla Modo at least), and they export to UE4. Unfortunately, you can't just import your .fbx and export it; you have to set up the smoothing in Blender instead. Let's say I've modeled a beveled box in Modo and I want to take it through…
i am not the target audience but i can appreciate the effort of these, they look sharp and that last one sort of feels like some sort of manga/anime so that is pretty top quality, you seem right there with them (for me,afaik) so congrats on that.
Yeah I figured it might be an extreme example... We're using multiple UV channels quite a bit here. One thing is to use baked soft lighting vs. tiled diffuse and tiled normalmap (for detail bumpage). Another way we use it is to do effects like memory-efficient caustics, where you duplicate the same soft caustic emissive…
Hi Harry & Shepeiro, thanks for your comments, as for the "weird" style...haha..., well maybe I have a "weird" graffiti influence...hahah...and I tend to do sharp lines, that might look a bit too cubic in the end, I will definitely work on that. The camera bot was the last prop I did... and I tried to push my modeling…
Is everything here sub-d, or just parts? It seems like some of your stuff here is just blocked in so far - which is fine - but I just want to clarify. Right now most of the stuff that I can tell is sub-d, the edges seem too sharp virtually everywhere. A good rule of thumb I have is that if the edges are so sharp that they…
Hello - yes, this looks normal ... but probably not what you want :) To control shading with sharp edges : - You do not need any modifier or an add-on, and you probably don't want to rely on angle-based smoothing either if you need 100% control (sorry for disagreeing with the above suggestions but I thought I'd cut…
I'm having 2 issues in 3.06 that I don't think I ran in to in 3.05 1. Lights in general don't seem to be casting shadows properly. I can have a light behind an object with shadows, ambient occlusion, and GI turned on, and the light will still cast through the object even though it's not there. 2. Spot Angle seems to be…
Hello, I am an indie game developer working on a first-person 3D narrative game (mid-poly, atmospheric/stylized — not photorealistic) built in Unity 6 URP. The game spans five distinct environments ranging from warm domestic interiors to cold institutional facilities to overcast outdoor settings. The same room geometry is…
