Re: [FOLIAGE & UE4] ~ Grass, full 3D strands to cards LOD transition, is it possible?
Yes that would be correct if it weren't taking unpacked normal data. In an albedo the range is indeed 0 to 1 however in an unpacked normal, at least in UE4's case that range is -1 to 1. That is the range the material input expects when plugging anything into the normal channel. This happens behind the scene somewhat when… -
Re: Unreal 5
Just wanted to say thank you all for chiming in on the state of things. It was nice to read through everyone's posts from many devs that I know have been in this game for an exceptionally long haul. Optimization is king, and while I look forward to what UE5 will bring, I'm happy to wait a year or two until an actual game… -
Re: Large Land Formations
Sure, I probably should have mentioned it, but I've figured out that much. Terrain heightmaps are great -- except when they aren't. There are things heightmaps simply can't do (such as almost everything in the below two images), and in games like LoZ: BotW and Xenoblade Chronicles X, their "terrains" appear to actually be… -
Re: Sketchbook: Isso09
suprore: It works better for me, since I like to leave a lot of the edges soft in my final product. Overall you can do either one. Soft rounds just give you precise gradients. It's a lot easier to make form go "bump" perfectblue: To draw from imagination, you have to do it. Analyze artists that you like and figure out why.… -
Re: Kyoto Modular Houses – Tsushinikai & Sonikai
Hey, this looks cool. I think you need to create a height blended material with a few layers, for the streets and roofs and stuff, so you can break up the monotony and paint in some fun grunge. It would help bring this environment closer to a professional level. -
Re: 3D Art - Guns for Unreal Project
Rendering or lighting seems to be slowing things down for me a quick glance and topic search term in artistation brings up a tone of good references to lighting clarity and possible solutions with a search term of lighting guide/tutorial , tip/tricks. For everyone, i know i had to learn these things also, sometimes its… -
Re: Orc Warrior - Warcraft style cinematic - feedback for my first portfolio post
Could I suggest a saturation/value gradient on the skin from waist to head? He looks like he forgot his sunscreen. I think a gradient would really help bring the viewers focus to his face. -
Re: Sci-Fi grenade game asset WIP
So I decided to just move into the block out of this model where I can elaborate a bit on the concept. I was going to finish the concept off in PS to make it more Sci-Fi, but I'm just going to use my more artistic license on the modeling portion. Before I move on, I was wondering a few thing in this whole HP to LP… -
Re: next gen woes?
I think keeping perfect quads only really matters if you need specific edge loop/ring selections, and in particular in facial modelling for accurate deformation. As Stahlberg and StrangeFate (both seasoned pros with high-poly modelling) say, you can get away with n-gons in a lot of areas. A triangle or a pentagon here or…
