Animation in gaming
I have a question about animation in the game industry. For the most part, I don't see that many pure "Animator" positions open very often. Is it because game companies generally don't have specialized animators? Is this a trend that is changing? What about the difference between game animation and film animation? I… -

Re: UDK Lighting Effect
You could try and put a very bright white plane behind the wooden planks that fades out when you get close to it using a pixeldepth material node. Put the colours to 1,1,30 for example to get that cool blue/purple over-exposure. This will not require an overbright sky and is in fact a method used in a lot of games where… -
Unity character customization workflow
Hi guys ! I am working on a personal game project in Unity, in which I am trying to implement a character customization system. The idea is simple : Use a single rigged base character and use blend shapes to allow the player to customize it's shape, morphology, proportions and so on. Here is an example of something I did… -
Re: Is it correct to unwrap multiple objects into one texture or should it be done the other way around?
Another good example of where it makes sense to split textures up is alpha blending. If you have some small component of the asset that needs alpha, you should split that off into another texture set/material if you can. Generally (8-bit alpha, DDS compression), storing alpha doubles the size of the texture, so if only 10%… -
Re: Character design palettes versus environmental lighting & locational palettes
But that's what's supposed to happen, the environment lighting is supposed to interact with the character -- this is the only way to create a mood / atmosphere. A dark scene with a green fill light and bright yellow rim light, for example, it will affect your palette but the player still has the dark and bright hints to… -
Re: [UE4] Stylized Character Game Model: Roxie - Looking for feedback
I spent the weekend reviewing the examples you posted @Ged and searching out a few more like them for reference. Using those, I and spent a day working to make the topology more consistent with the corset as you suggested. I've done nothing with the head/hair yet. The legs+feet got the most attention. (Note the arm cannons… -

Re: Shader trouble.
no offense but you're making some pretty basic mistakes here. float FS = max(0.0, KS_Skin_Specular); here you're calling functions like variables which is such a fundamental mistake i'm honestly impressed you got this far. float ndoth = dot(_Normal, H); float spec = ndotl * _Spec * frSpec; not only are you calling a… -
Re: Advanced damage/dynamics systems
That's some great feedback there guys. =) Regarding the car/power station example, I understand the need for the mechanic to be actually worth while because as you said, it may, as you said, not even be seen. Which is something I will need to look into for my project. The general focus of the project started on the idea of…
