Re: Animating bells.
Hey, well you have many ways to do this.. one would be to manually animate your bell, but it would be generic (except you create some animations with variations). I'm close to create my first animated objects, therefore I can't say exactly if this would be easy, as you need to save this as another file (cga instead of… -
Re: What is this texture called and where should it be connected in my material ?
The S texture most certainly not go into a "specular color input" UE4 does not support "specular color" and functions on a metal rough shader model, not a specular glossiness as pictured above. So the texture called S is actually 3 inputs, with each color channel being a different input. I usually put ambient occlusion in… -
Re: Help needed: Artist diving into shader programming!
I started my learning by taking apart Ben Cloward's shaders and putting 'em back together again, figuring out what does what and why. They're also very well-documented, which helps a ton: www.bencloward.com/resources_shaders.shtml After that I grabbed Luiz Kruel's shader production DVD from Eat3D, which in addition to… -
Re: [UDK] Spaceship Interior
I think a few things you need to address: 1 the constant use of ddo 2 all of your models seem to lack really anything more than primitive shapes. 3 the models seem to have limited believably due to the above fact, one of the biggest things people seem to do wrong in scifi is just adding random shapes without any cohesion… -
Re: ...because we all love sci-fi guns!
i like the refined silhouette, but this seems like a pretty big problem! ("I could win the war with this rifle, if i could pick it up!") but, now that you have a 3d version of it to swing around and look at, time to ask yourself a couple of things: where's the barrel? does it use ammo? if so, where is that ammo stored? (… -
Re: DJ Hero? FAIL FAIL *RANT* :E
So similar? Similar in what? Did the above DJs not show that this a "bit" more varied than modifying existing songs? This isn't a wedding "DJ" or the 80s. A turntable scratch operates with hand movement. A very Analog function. The on/off allow the amplification of the sound and EQ functions. Play an electric guitar… -
Re: quick question on joint topology for a toad
Something else to take into consideration is how much volume does the joint need to displace if it is rotated. 1 displaces a lot more volume so would require more in the area of an accommodation than 2, as 2 would be much easier to rotate as it has very little volume. In context with this example 2 will simply expand more… -
Re: Ground Zero: A Post-Apocalyptic RPG
I understand your sentiment, there are so many ridiculously ambitious startup projects that never amount to more than a grocery list of features and a few weapon renders. The architecture of this project actually isn't that complex. We're basically building several simple game systems on top of each other that function in… -
Re: Polycount 3.0 design restrictions
ok, sorry - i was under the impression it was up on a private link for a while before hand, no offense meant just my initial impressions. I didnt mean to bash it. as for what i mean: the design of the banner, links, and body copy flows, so that your eye can travel around the site. I really, really loved the 'POTD' from the… -
Modulated blending woes in non-landscape materials
I've been hitting a road-block with a multi-layered material in UE4, and now I'm wondering if what I'm trying to do is even possible. Maybe an Unreal guru out there can set me straight. I have developed a material that utilizes several material functions, and I'm using vertex colors to blend between the functions. That…
