Re: [Ue4] Alberta Canada - Realistic lake environment
It looks pretty close to your reference photos, I've been to Alberta, a gorgeous place! Although I'm missing the sense of scale I get by looking at your reference photos. An example would be the water, if you increase the tiling it would impose a large scale. Making your mountains large with smaller texture detail would… -
Re: actors, skeletal meshes, trigger volumes, blueprint
You can just make a public variable. As I mentioned earlier, if its public, you can pick it with the eyedropper when the actor is placed in the level and selected. You will see the public variable on the details panel. This way you can set up which button trigger which bridges for example. Or like in my main thread, you… -
Re: Simple AO tip for skin
Just a quick example of what I did to get the ao for the above mesh. 1. Rendered standard ao 2. Rendered ao with a hemisphere below mesh(much bigger than the example, but scaled down for illustrative purposes) 3. 50/50 blend The two bake method here makes it easy to tweak the % to get the desired amount of the more… -
Re: Subway Station Project: WIP, having some trouble with texturing
No, you totally clarified things there, thanks! Really appreciate you taking the time to help me out; it's helping with the feelings of being in over my head. I've been trying to wrap my head around all this most of the day, so I'm going to cook dinner and relax with some environment painting. Tomorrow I'll push to get… -
Re: Valve approach to Realism - L4Dead and Half Life 2
Crysis is not a good example of realism when we talk about characters. The environments are pretty nice though. The l4d2 characters are the best of the best right now, at least for me. There is an article about their creation, in Cgsociety if i recall well. And if we want stylized character, Tera, the new FFXIV and… -
Re: Substance Painter 1.3 MikkT tangent basis
ercktjoe, uncheck "tangents and binormals" was a reference for exporting out from a 3D app, AFAIK that's different from turning ON "compute binormal in pixel shader" for Xnormal,which is still recommend by the Unreal Engine programmer. In a sync workflow you won't need to split UV at hard edges, beside I don't have any… -
Re: Playstation 4 Thread
Unforunatly downloading will be no good. Games are getting bigger in size, games around 10-15gb like batman for example, will take hours to download to a new console. Right now I can take 10-20 or even more games with me to a friends house and play all afternoon. With this tech I'll need to drag a console over. If we're… -
Re: Ideas for bachelor's thesis?
erm... Thesis for bachelors? I thought that was a thing for post grad degrees. It's a written thing? not an animation? as far as topic goes I think approaching animation from another discipline is most interesting? for example Analyzing cinematography/editing of an animation and study the interplay between the animation… -
Re: 3DS Max 2016, Keyboard Input Intermittent
As thomasp said toggling on keyboard shortcut override function tend to solve these kind of issues. However recently I spent quite a lot of time customizing 3ds Max interface and hotkeys and I noticed an interesting fact: depending on the window currently active (like Main UV, Material Editor, UVW Editor, etc) the… -
Re: ceedric's workshop
You will want a much cleaner base mesh if you are going into Zbrush to do some sculpting. For example on your edges if you try to add any wear or detail you are going to get some horrible deformation because of the polygon distribution (I assume) and the extreme sharp edges. You should take a look at some of the tutorials…
