Re: Implementation of Blender in Video Game Industry
@RyanB : I feel I need to jump in to attempt to clarify this. Yes, it makes UE-compatible structures confusing to *look* at, as the visual representation of the main joint axis will make them appear as going sideways. No, this doesn't prevent in any way a Blender>UE4 workflow. It is a pain if someone wants to create… -
Re: CryEngine is Finally Back ! :D
That was a perfectly straightforward test Jed, thanks for taking the time to set it up. Nothing beats hard facts :) There might be another factor to consider, just in case : to my knowledge and ever since Maya 2013, Maya offers a choice between four different kinds of vertex weighting, with "Unweighted" being the legacy,… -
Re: Skew you buddy! Making sense of skewed normal map details.
Nice one Joe, lots of good examples and tips :) I just wanted to chime in with a point that I didn't see anyone else making here - you can always just edit the vertex normals instead of using a cage or adding geometry / splitting edges etc. This can actually work really well for situations where you have bevelled edges… -
Re: 3DS Max - Quad Bridge - Quick Question
I found a way, when reading 'edit poly' mod docs but it's not documented for editable_poly: basically replaced #bridge for #bridgeBorder, and for baseobjects, for numbers: 22 and 23 that I got using GetCommandMode() : MacroScript EPoly_BridgeenabledIn:#("max", "viz") --polycountButtonText:"Bridge"Category:"Editable Polygon… -
Re: Modo 601
Been putting 501 through its paces last few days while waiting on the 601 demo to be released. It's better then I thought it would be in some ways, and worse in others. A few points of interest for those looking at it as a replacement for Max or Maya The default UV tools are not nearly as efficient as those found in Max… -
Re: How to make UDK not look like...UDK?
I'm glad I'm not the only one on this and it's not all in my head. Also I find it interesting that the only game that nobody suspects is Mirror's Edge, which may reveal the overall effect that using Lightmass has on everything. Maybe there's a lightmass setting or two that can be changed to make it run more like Beast.… -
Re: Diablo 3 - Angel Tree - UE4
Thanks for all the great feedback! I have an orange main light in the scene but I might need to boost it up a litte I'm just worried about my bricks as they are picking up a lot of the lights color( they are actually greyish blue) but I'll tug a little with the sliders! Yep its the default sky(shame) I'm just not that… -
Re: Popping my Win7 cherry
Interesting - I am currently doing the switch as well. Same as EQ - I don't care about the new OS itself and its new "features" (because let's be honest, from the end user point of view there are none, you click on stuff, stuff opens up). But under the hood, driver support is important. I think the only thing that matters… -
Re: New Approach to Handpainted Environments
Thanks everyone=)! Makes me even more excited for this project. Fwap, Ha! feels like a long time ago, and I guess it kinda is. Cool to see other people from there, brings back memories. Hayden Zammit, No actually it will look good from any direction, ofcourse some directions have a little better composition but in the end… -
Re: RTS Zombie - 400 Polygons
Ouch, it's not a first timer rig. I've done some rigging/animation before (self taught amateur level, but that's why I'm in school). The only thing done in Maya was the rendering and checking texture placement. Everything else was done in XSI - modeling, UVing, rigging, etc. Not to get defensive, but don't shoot me down…
