Re: Wizart - New 3D Software
That's typical for inhouse editors to be made to look and act like an industry standard software. At one company I was at back in the day they had a pretty full featured inhouse modeler that looked just like Lightwave... for reasons I don't have to explain only the old schoolers used it though. This one here looks like… -
Re: Creating Trim Sheets 4 Part Tutorial - Polygon Academy
you could use a second uv channel with a different ratio for blending tiling materials over top, you can use your lightmap uv channel for example and then tile whatever materials you want in the shader by increasing the tiling in there with a texcoordinate node in unreal for whatever you want to blend over top. decals… -
Re: Noob Question On UE4 Dynamic Lighting
Hi Obscura. I have rebuilt the lighting but this had no effect ( but I have learnt that if I switch the mobility of a light or object to dynamic, the lightmaps will need to be re-baked to remove any outdated lighting ). I have also bumped-up the skylight intensity to 1.5. I suspect my issue was with the tree asset. I… -
Re: Ligthling and Shadow artifacts in UE4 :/
Hey thank you EliasWick! Thanks alot for the links ! The problem were the lightmaps, it was creating its own ! But now I've got another problem :/ In 3ds max i modeled everything in a group, like this : Each model in the group has their own uv's but when i export the group into an fbx and import them to UE4 the uvs get all… -
Re: Broken Pillar
@urgaffel, thanks! I tried to break up the uniformity of the circles. Any better? This is my first 'done' pass of just the model + textures. I'm still getting that weird line where the UV seam is, even after cranking the shadow rez (in UDK) and adding a lightmap. Hmmm.... I plan on adding a coffee cup, like in the ref, and… -
Re: Sketchbook: Azaraen
@pixelb - Thanks for the instruction! #2 sounds similar to what you do to create lightmaps. Never done it before, so I'll try that out!! @Snafubar7 - Thanks for pointing that out! I'm not familiar with vertex colors, so I'll be doing my research. :) Now, I'm also working on a puppy model along with my boat, just to keep… -
Re: Swarm Failing
I don't know, but, make sure your light map sizes are all correct, and you have clean lightmap UVs that aren't too packed. One time I had swarm failure, I accidentally set the light map for a static mesh to 6432 (should have been to 64 from 32) Then, this other time I had much too complicated meshes (lots of floating… -
Re: Texture Baking and Mental Ray Max
I'm not sure I can. Will ask. I think the main thing is I just don't know all these new options its offering. Instead of jumping off the deep end, just start with a lightmap in MR and work my way towards larger things. I went back and tweaked with the regular scanline and got it to cut down the render time. Still not as… -
Re: [Rant] Tutorials
to be fair, creating a good modeling tutorial is a really hard task. modeling is extremely simple once you figure out all the technical aspects, and that'll only come after looking at a basic tutorial to figure out what that all means and lots and lots of time spent creating models. that said, modeling with maya is the… -
Re: Im gonna be an enviroment artist!!! but.....
[ QUOTE ] Unfortuneatly, the PS2 has crap support for alpha blending, so you can't do a lot of things with it. Colored light/darkmaps in particular, are horribly expensive on PS2. They require one render pass per-channel. So for a RGB texture, that's three rendering passes for your scene. [/ QUOTE ] That is, quick frankly,…
