A mesh gets triangulated when imported into an engine anyhow. The reason why meshes are retopoed mostly in quads is that it is easier to edit them while working on them. But, there are parts of a mesh that just need a few tris and that is ok. The first example of your post uses elongated quads which as a rule you should…
I would like to share our animatic done by our amazing concept artists Valen Kua and Nanxi Ong: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JXgxgZlwa0 Here are some shots that I assembled the character rigs and animation done by my teammates and I have also added in some basic lighting in Unreal Engine just for the feel and vibe.…
Depending on how your model is made, you might actually want to keep it exploded for the AO bake. For example if you have floaters on one side of your symmetrical model with mirrored UV's, you'll be baking the AO on both sides instead of one. Have a look at the polycount wiki for some examples…
more so thinner than thicker. In your latest image, you're kind of going a bit thicker than i thought it'd go, but it could be a stylistic thing? You can show and convey a lot more by using less pressure. in leiu of typing something out, here is a quickie expressionless paint-over example some other quick-search examples:…
Hi. I`m wondering is there soft or workflow for creating leaf venation procedurally. Texture or 3d model, doesnt matter. For example reticular venation: I know that it can me maid with voronoi cells, but i dont know how to seamlessly join little cells with big ones. Also how quickly add variation to veins thickness. Any…
To add to what fabiG says. Modding is a brilliant way to get started. Something as simple as reskinning assets or building maps for a game you play is a really good introduction to how game development works and you get that dopamine hit from seeing your thing running around on screen pretty rapidly. Keeping scope small at…
This topic is probably a better fit for the Unreal Engine forum section. If you want to get assets from one project into another, the migrate tool might be of use. Regarding how to use your own content with this 'Horror Engine', you might have a better chance of getting help/ questions answered on the projects discord…
interesting that every now and then this type of thread and debate comes up. Personally, its not much of an arguement to judge a 3D packages capability because you can't see much stunning work out there. That's hardly solid proof. The simple fact is that often studios don't announce or shout about which software they use…
Even with good video tutorials you still run into having to sit through most of it to find info. They aren't easily searchable like a text document is. Maybe someone will create a system that transcribes text and makes the videos searchable but that doesn't exists... that I know of. It's easier to make a bad video tutorial…
I think that your latest rewrite touches on a very important bit: knowledge. As the game progresses, the player should get more and more hints as to how to solve the game. A way to 'autobalance' the puzzle difficulty, if you will. You should probably try to make it as enticing as possible to solve the game as quickly as…
