I had some real issues with getting the haircards right in UE4. I am at a decent place I can stop tweaking them for now. I want to get the rest of the character in and then go into final refinements. I checked out UE4 forums and articles about haircards and I found the same difficulties. A few UE veterans seem to be able…
Welcome everyone to the 101st Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge for the months of March and April! This challenge is a way for real-time 3D artists to test their skills and create a piece of work based on concepts provided. It's open to those of all skill levels and we do our best to provide meaningful feedback along…
Hi, As first advice, I would tell you to stick with default UI if you first want to learn and understand it so you can more easily rely on tutorials. There's still improvment you can easily do like installing PitiWazou Pie Menus (http://www.blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?348496-Addon-Wazou-s-Pie-Menus ), changing…
Love the creatures! One tiny crit I have is the UE4 render's might want to use a bit more love in the materials and perhaps the roughness channel. It could just be a matter of preference/style since it looks like you have a nice diffuse texture thing going, though I couldn't help but notice all of the UE4 renders have a…
Well i'm not doing exactly that, read too quickly ^^ I detach all shells that are in the 0-1 square. But it looks like you made the right thing. The only trick i use is from Jorge "Polytools" Rodriguez. I convert uvs to a trimesh, because mesh are faster to deal with than uvs, not to mention unwrap modifier. Also you could…
what pior said. The normal map doesn't look like UDK unpacked it on import. It looks like a regular texture which will give you wrong info. And yeah, remove the normal map multiply. when you import the normal map with actual normal map settings UDK unpacks the data to a -1 to +1 range which it expects for it shader system.…
So unfortunately my free time at the studio has come to an end so my only time to work on my personal work is restricted back to my after work hours and lunch periods (as it should be any way). Here is what I've been working on for the last week or so... I haven't really touched Substance Designer 5 at all to be honest so…
I used Mudbox actually. I find mudbox more straight forward - quick and painless to get something to look somewhat good :P This what an AO map looks like The darker area near the top is the bottom of the rubble, I just put a plane underneath it (the model is not directly on top, but a bit higher) so it would give it more…
Hey guys, just a little update on this issue. I started having the same sluggish Command Menu all of a sudden on my 3dsmax 2021 and none of the above things helped with it. I'm talking the simplest select deselect is taking 2 - 3 seconds, not to mention switching between the create and modify tabs in the menu. For me, the…
Welp, I've just achieved it. I only needed to switch some nodes and change the blending with the edge noise using multiply instead of add.. And also crank up the world scalar value hehehe.
