Re: [WIP] UDK Modular Environment
maybe removing a "level", either up above or down below, will help with the chaotic-ness of the scene a bit. try focusing our attention on something in the middle "level", like the hallway from the angle of the bridge or something. i feel the reason its not as readable now is because your trying to make us focus on the… -
Re: Making sense of hard edges, uvs, normal maps and vertex counts
Generally you'd want to avoid fans like that if possible. They can cause lighting issues and they aren't the most efficient capping method for cylinder shapes in terms of both rendering and polycount. You could delete that fan then bridge the side with the forks over to the opposite side and get a bit of a cleaner mesh.… -
Re: Motivation and Frustration with Progressing
well I'd like to get better at modeling environments and assets- so I am modeling a vehicle. I also modeled an environment based off the 6th street bridge in los angeles...It just take so long for me to get them to a point where I actually like how they look. In general i think is what''s holding me back is I focus too… -
Re: Environment Concepts
Hi Outline, These are looking cool and I'm liking the story elements! If you want some feedback in terms of critiques for the designs then I think some value definition, lighting and edge control will go a long way for these pieces. If you check out any of James Paick's tutorials online (free or paid ones) I think it'll be… -
Re: Question: Continuity vs Multiple Elements
Figure A is a false economy. Game engines don't store faces they store vertices. So you could bridge across the vertices without affecting how big your model is in memory. Also a long face like in figure A will light badly (when using vertex lighting) due to the lack of vertex splits to define shadows. I suggest you try… -
Re: [UE4] Big Ass Venezia Environment
Thanks for the feedback guys! Here's some more progress. Still have to do things like the roofs and bridge, then I'll be getting into actually destroying these buildings :) urgaffel Added those normal maps! Cay I added a small bevel to the buildings but I'll probably have to do more to break up the edges. Let me know if… -
Re: Game of Thrones
Yeah, Martin also has some weird baggage about eunuchs too. His imagination is a bizarre tapestry of weirdness for sure. :) This debate over the double standards of violence being ok but nudity not is as old as modern society and we've never come to a tangible conclusion so let's just keep this about the show. :) I'm a… -
Re: Need a cunning way to get your work seen?
i became aware of Banksy's work in 2003, a little bit before he got a lot of exposure for the artwork he did for Blur's 2003 album Thinktank. his site is one of those rare treasures that incorporates great work as well as stories and accompanying texts. it's been a while since i've looked at it, but his stories about… -
Re: Heroes Thread
What ever happened to the invisible guy (Claude) that was helping Peter, (Doctor Who First Season, Christopher Eccleston) I can't recall did he die too, or just not want to be found.... I'm finding the lack of forethought and judgment just to move the plot along and get people in the same place is getting kind of stupid… -
Re: RIP Maxis, 1987-2015
My issue with SimCity was that it was small, the AI was pretty dumb, traffic was a bigger issue than it should be because the dumb AI would always try going to the closest job or house, the first 15 minutes of a city was fun, but after that you always ran into the same issues. It was artificially limiting in a lot of ways,…
