Re: [UE4] Forest Valley
Thanks for the input guys. As for the proper shading and tonemapping, that won't affect the way UE4 deals with lighting proper backfaces and foliage in general. It is a common problem. UE4 does not support lightmaps on instanced meshes, so anything placed with the foliage tool is out of the question. I'm finding a way… -
Re: n00b 3D artist
Hey dude thanks a million!!! :) I turned to Polycount because i really didnt know where to start or how to develop myself as an artist Ive been doing 3d work for the last two years but i have never had a proper understand of how things work 'so to speak' i can model, UV_unwrap and bake normals but i know i need to find a… -
Re: Intersecting and open Geometry, go or no go?
INTERSECTING is fine if they are near 90 degrees, if it goes 30 degrees or lower then that, there might be a problem with the Zbuffer trying to render it on lower bits. Better avoid lower angles for intersection. If BACK FACES are hidden, and for some reason you are not going to use them, yes, definately needs to be… -
Re: A Quick Explanation of Floating Geometry
Typically floating geometry is what you refer to above, usually in a high poly workflow. However I have seen some recently, mistakenly (or not) refer to it when it comes to low poly models. IE:floating smaller elements over a large surface such as a wall, in order to save some geometry and/or allow a bit more versatility… -
Re: Do we really need to be Uv mapping in 2015?
I`ll check out iPackThat thanks. It was a series of meshes I was mapping, spheres and cages that were boolean and to be mapped with a mesh texture. So it had to be clean looking and all the texture join up correctly. It was one of those jobs that you think will take 15 minutes and then by the time you get it into the… -
Re: Doom 3 Fan Art
Yeah, a talk with James helped a lot to keep this alive and to get a better approach. Thanks from here once more! Now its growing a lot faster and I'm really excited to see the end of it as it takes shape as a whole level. Side note - I switched to baked lighting a long time ago because the amount of the light sources… -
Re: Need some Crits...(Noobie Warning)
I'm working in Lightwave, so I can't speak to 3DS-specific stuff---but my suggestion is that you maybe try to build the cage with fewer polys that you're using right now. It's alos a good idea to shift the limbs out of the basic cage so the polyflow runs parallel to the form of the limb. It would be a good idea to find a… -
Re: UDK vs unity and whats the most next gen looking game on unity?
Unity got one huge issue - they are solution developers , not a game developers. They trying to fill engine with wide feature set but they make some tech demos not a games. If your game relatively small you can deal with it , but it is a real pain if you got some big stuff. Mechanim is a disaster then it comes to complex… -
Re: [UDK] Overgrown Warehouse
I stopped working on this back in March, but decided to pick it up again for my portfolio. I rebuilt just about everything, including new textures. Nothing is final and I'm still missing a few things. What I'd like to do: - Puddles on the ground - Few types of plants/grass variations - More ground clutter(dirty mattresses,… -
Re: Modo or even Silo ?
Yeah Modo is great, the modeling tools are similar to Lightwave but more advanced (eg. Topology Tools, CA Tools...). But the Viewport Display is slow on ATI\AMD Cards, thats a big con! :( And NO you don't get lifetime update! ALl you get are Service Packs for the Version you have purchased, but have to pay every X.Point…
