Hi there, Two interesting pieces. Unfortunately, there is no visible indication leading the viewer to connect both scenes as the same location in separate times. Something has to carry over from one image into the next. This may be easier to do if you made the split horizontally instead of vertically. The mountains in the…
I'm not a rigger nor animator for chars however fwiw I've limited experience with hard surface mechanical stuff so just a few options that may be helpful: 1 - Mesh bends or deforms in unexpected ways when you move the bone Check Bone Weights: ensure vertices are properly weighted to the bones that should control them Use…

Hello polycount! New to the forum, so forgive me if I commit any sins here. For the past week and change, I've been plugging away at a level layout using the Deep Elder Caves asset pack from the UE4 marketplace ( it's quite good, you should check it out ). I've been taking screenshots as I go and saving them locally, but I…
Starting next week I'm taking part in a 5-day gamejam organised by my university (Portsmouth), with over 90 participants! Anyone done something similar and want to share their experiences? Any tips for me? My team consists of me and one other guy - we're both artists and will aim to create something visually awesome in UDK…
Hey everybody, First time posting here on polycount. I've been working on this scene for a few months and figured I would share my results. This is based pretty closely on my favorite local donut shop. As this was my first time attempting an environment in Unreal 4, I wasn't really aiming for greatness. My main goal was…
Hope you all had a great thanksgiving. Unfortunately I will be out-of-pocket for some time. Our high speed server cratered on Sunday and now I share an AOL dial-up connection with 7 other people. You can imagine how hard it is to just get work related stuff done, let alone hit the forums. : ( Now I am sure your all in…
I'm new to the world of normal mapping. I'm looking at normal maps to fix some really bad mesh normals on a corrective blend shape. I'm using UE4, but this would apply to any game engine, I imagine. Tangent space normals haven't worked out initially, since they don't override the underlying mesh normals. Seems more like a…
Hello everyone! So while working over the summer on a game for my local aquarium, I became acquainted with some quite interesting lake residents. With some very highly scientific observational skills ('That turtle.. looks like a pancake'), I decided something needed to be done about it. This project was basically an excuse…
I am in a difficult position. Currently I work retail and have started my own game development team. Myself and three other individuals. Progress is going well, but I have been made a job offer as a CAD Drafter with a local company. I have sent out at least 50 applications as a 3d Environment Artist/Level Designer, but…
