Re: Likes on artstation are important. Let's be honest.
Guys, I have science though. Look: On a serious note, there is a very real bias (there is even a term for it, I can't remember though) where people who have gotten in tend to conflate it with personal merit to an unrealistic degree. It happens everywhere, doesn't mean you are a bad guy or full of shit or anything. It's… -
Re: Hair Unreal 4 - Issues
haven't tried the following myself but the two sided foliage shading model, compatible with engine versions 4.7 and later looks like it might be helpful? Particularly the settings in the Opacity mask from the "UE3_to_UE4_Transition_Guide": Materials "Soft Edge" for Particles and Translucent Materials ( like hair I spose...… -
Re: New Model - Sawed-Off Shotgun
Hey Alberto, If you bring it into Z-Brush, just export it back out as an obj, bring it into max/maya, and render to texture. That's what I do at least. I'd be interested in knowing if there are faster / more awesome ways out there though too. The flipper switch is lookin a little high now in its height. Also, if you want… -
Re: Inspiring Songs For Working!
Yeah, I can totally see the appeal of jazz music for that - I just feel that it has been used soooo much that it almost starts to detract from the animations themselves. In other words ... I now tend to associate jazzy tunes to overly-animated characters hitting extreme poses for no reason (that is to say, straight out of… -
Re: LoDs: From how many tris does it make sense?
I tested your meshes in Marmoset using the tessellation that was recently implemented. The sphere tests were not that different, even though the quad sphere subdivided much more evenly. As expected, the cylinders were like night a day. The quad cylinder gave vastly superior results. :) Side Poles Side Poles Both tests had… -
Re: What Are You Working On? 2012 Edition
Swizzle, loving the look of that shader, but I agree with Ravenslayer; some exaggerated highlights would be welcome. Strkl, those concepts are pretty sweet! Nice shapes and all. Been working on an explosion FX thing, partly as a mental exercise. Wanted to approximate the look of the explosions in the Nvidia DX11 paper,… -
Re: Traditional 2D art is... weird
In an age of digital photography and CGI special effects, a quest for perspective in 2D illustration seems almost pointless. Why bother attempting to draw anything realistically? Anyone with a 3 Megapixel camera or a copy of 3D Studio Max is going to be able to do you one better in a fraction of the time. In drawing you… -
Re: [UE4] [WIP] The old factory
@Paulod The main light for the scene is a directional light and it is set on movable. Also for this project I'm trying out global illumination. So the scene has realtime global illumination (which is awsome, take a look at this video if you are interessed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGO7VNcq6uE ). Also change some… -

UDK Lightmaps Issues
It's been a few days that i'm working on that problem and it feels like i'm going nowhere. I created 3 tileable modules that's render pretty clean in Max and when it comes to UDK, I get this weird shader on one of my mesh (corner). I tried everything I know so far with no result. - Set LOD Bias to -1 or -2 - Set lightmaps…
