Re: Learn Maya if you already know 3ds max
Yeah I hear you, I taught myself basic modeling and UV'ing with Maya for DICE, but it's not great. Both programs feel dated in interface, but Maya is just the worst in terms of UI. I feel it's missing a few key features (or makes them less accessible) that speed things up a lot for me in Max. Like no proper Edge… -
Re: [UE4] Learning Lighting Art
This was a fun and quick one - found some cool ref and wanted to try out a way of lighting a large area in a way that didn't feel too game-y or wasn't clumsy & expensive: ArtStation Plus now I know the limitations of emissive planes in UE4, I know better when/where to use them -
Re: [UE4] Floating Islands
Very nice adjustment (Y) In terms of the video, I'd say it's a little odd that the sakura particles/trees etc are static and the water has motion... I guess it's your call to decide which you want more? a static shot or a environment with full motion because you're caught somewhere in between right now. -
Re: 3ds max, Substance Designer, Marmoset and UDK workflow, someone please shoot me.
With Toolbag 2 you can do this two ways without inverting the green channel 1. Set tangent space to max on a per-object basis, this will make is so you don't need to invert anything 2. Set Flip Y in the normal map slot in the material editor Not sure about the substance thing. -
Re: What should I do to create my ideal workflow?
Thanks for the tips. It's not gonna be a game per se - more like a VR animation with a game-y feeling (think action cinematic). As for the windows: oddly enough, that's exactly how they are built in my references. I'm modelling a part of the old Smyrna Quay and most buildings had windows covering most of the height of… -
Re: Issue with Normal maps
It looks like your low poly might have hard edges at those locations, or the Y channel of your normal map is inverted for whichever program you are using to view it. Images of your low poly and the UVs of this location and which program you're using to bake and view will help narrow down what's wrong. -
Re: Photoshop - Anti-alias - Options?
This is really only intended for pixel art, but you may have somewhat decent results overscaling it and then resizing it back down in photoshop depending on how line-art-y or smooth it is: http://code.google.com/p/hqx/ some examples: http://www.hiend3d.com/hq4x.html EDIT: There's also plugins like Genuine Fractals and the… -
Re: Normal Map Question
If you want to plug in your normal maps that are correctly formatted for UE4 (i.e. MikkTSpace with the bitangent vectors flipped to match DirectX normal maps and the bitangent computed in the pixel shader), you have to change the tangent basis to xNormal/Mikk and then check "Flip Y" in the normal map parameters. The other… -
Re: Sketchbook: Nuclear Angel
@Y-NOT486 I do not think it has a certain name, I just played with the post processing volume a lot. Which gives it this non realistic style. I might go back to the environment and play some more with the lighting and the post processing to catch a more alien vibe, would be a good exercise. And thanks! ^^ -
