Term Project Progress - Dragon-Age Style Blast Furnace Smithery [WIP]
Hey everyone, I’m starting a WIP thread for a hero environment prop I’m building for my MA Game Art “Developing Skills” unit and my portfolio. 🔧 Project goal I’m basing this on the “Blast Furnace and Blacksmithing Equipment” concept from Dragon Age: The Veilguard (Creative Uncut link):… -
Re: Baked high to low normal map has seams in Arnold CPU render on all hard edges.
I recommend using ureal engine for you real time renders. It sucks having to setup your shaders again but its the best free real time render. Also you get the added benefit of learning UE and putting it in your tool box. Another option would be Iray renders in Substance painter (but thats not free) -
Re: problems with tangents...
What your exporter is doing is embedding the tangent data that is in xsi into the mesh and therefore the engine takes this data and uses it instead of calculating its own tangent space. Now when you bake in xsi the baker uses generates tangents that are the same as you export and therefore your normal map is calculated… -
Re: 2 questions for Low poly modeling
You can also animate the UV's by turning on autokey, moving the time slider a few frames and moving the UV shells around in the UV editor. Of course there would be some kind of wrangling in whatever engine to get whatever system working like it should. In UDK there are ways to animate, scroll, scale and position of UV's in… -
Re: [ONG] Offroad Racer - Indie Game Dev Log
Yes that's right. So how do you get all this into the engine together with real physically moved and steered wheels? The way it works is basically this: The whole suspension with the spring and all gets set up and animated in 3ds max. Nothing of this is exported directly to the engine. Instead the full travel way for… -
Emulating soft edges on hard-edge models? (Possible?)
Hello :) I swear I've worked with an engine that has this capability in the past and I am hoping you folks can help me find out the name of this technique, so I can read up on it. Have you ever seen or worked with tech that could control edge softness right in the engine? So if I have a hard edge in Max on export (each… -
Re: Ryan Jessop Final Major Project - ARC Troopers
is this is intended for games? If so, I might ask around a bit about UDIMs. I thought that was something only used in film (or at least not games). To finish the assignment probably best to just do whatever teacher wants but if trying to get a job in games it's going to be good to know what workflows work and won't for… -
Unwrapping and texture question on model
Hi there so I got this question and bare with me if the answer is so obvious. Just I like to make sure or see if there is something else I should keep in mind for the future. I'm full of questions and get better understand of the pipeline :) So I finish following this tutorial of this model that turned out well. Now I like… -
Re: 3D game portoflio environment, where to start?
If you want good foliage out-of-the-box, CryEngine is the best bet. If you want an engine that is used by the most studios, Unreal is probably the best bet. Dear Esther uses the Source engine. Eidos uses mostly custom engines. Unity is used more often by smaller studios and indies than by the big studios. But the engine… -
Re: Current Gen Rigging
I've only had some experience with Torque so far. and a little with the engine used in Dawn of War. DoW engine used Biped, judging from the art samples. I'm not sure how the vehicles are rigged, since the model extractor doesn't read the bone information. but its probably safe to assume they're max bones. I've only used…
