Re: indie arcade flight game
Ok, my first impressions: The HUD doesn't relay information to the player in a intuitive manner. Some sort of visual element to indicate to the player how much health they have and making it more visually significant would be useful. The bonuses would be better announced by placing them near the center of the player's view… -
Re: Bad performance with reflection probe, and how to bake them the right way
Thanks @Eric Chadwick , I'll look into that. That sounds like what would be the best solution. For time being, after a ton of fiddling, I've found a passable solution. I have reflection probe that follows player with limited distance and clipping plane. I also put trees, billboards, and water onto their own layers so probe… -
Re: Monthly Community Noob Challenge April 2014 (18)
Default player height in UE4 is 192cm. Unreal units are now in centimeters, so 4 units inside of Unreal is equal to 4 cm. Default characters are 192 units, so 192 cm, which is approx. 6 feet tall. https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Engine/Content/ContentStandards/index.html I've always wanted to done one of these… -
Re: Concept to environment: Wasteland Waystation
Ok, UV mapping / texturing theory question. The player is going to be able to walk into some of these CONEX containers, and I want the texture resolution to hold up at arm's-length distance. I have the exterior faces mapped to a 1024, but I'm wondering how to maintain good res for the interior, because I was noticing parts… -
Re: Urban Scene (hopefully will be unreal ready)
thanks glad to know this is hitting in the right direction keep in mind I still have yet to add in thing sto really turn this around IE: Weelie garbage cans, deco layers I will fix 1 or 2 of these buildings to be less noticable Since there technically 6 types of buildings (3 of which have the cubby house 3 of which do not)… -
Re: Open world engines
xxxxx xxoxx xxxxx x-terrain tile o-player simple concept.. streaming data as player goes around.. pooliung objects helps a lot with memory peaks at creating and destroing objects [tip: reuse not create and destroy unless engine is designed for that].. when player is too far away you can shift "centre of the world reference… -
Re: Low Poly Hardware Specs
On UDK I got 70~80 skinned meshes on screen chasing the player (1 player 5 bones, NPC 3 bones instanced). Each mesh was about 470 tris. Environment was about 13k. One texture (1024x1024) for the environment, using a UDK made lightmap, one texture for the NPC and one for the character. With Unity there's so much you have to… -
Re: Critique my environment?
Here are some thoughts on this scene. Just reiterating on some of the points i made when i came in and critiqued. The water is a great oppportunity to emmit a nice green bottom light. It could give some really nice up lighting to the tree branches as well as the rocks you have there. I would also get rid of that rock on… -
Re: Apple isn't playing nice
Tom, you continue to split hairs over a minor technical issue. The fact of the matter is that the Flash Player can be adapted for use with touchscreens. Yes, we understand that there are quite a few major commercial sites that haven't bothered to do this. But that is their decision, and their problem. At the end of the… -
Re: How the F#*K do i texture this
you don't want to be texturing this uniquely - you will never hit the required resolution . put all the decals / sticker etc onto a sheet and slap them on little quads. if this is where your player sits, you can probably get away with modelling basically everything rather than baking unique normals etc. - it's basically an…
