Hi everyone, I'm pretty stoked to share my latest project: Kaba Baiz's Meat Packing Plant, a UE5 game environment inspired by Star Wars and more specifically, the "Return of the Mandalorian" episode in The Book of Boba Fett. This fan art project's goal was to recreate the referenced scene as a fully explorable environment…
Hi! I'd note that some edges on the finished asset look quite sharp. I would make sure the highpolys' bevels are wide enough so they read nicely at the intended viewing distance (first person, third person, top down?) and show up in the normal map at the targeted resolution. Based on those aspects you sometimes might have…
This was posted during a long holiday for members in the USA, so you may not see responses for a while. You could share a matcap by sticking it in a ZIP file. It might also help to share the exact version number of the ZBrush you're using, along with some info about your setup... OS, CPU, RAM, GPU.
Hello! I wanted to share my ongoing progress I've been making on personal project in my free time. It's an environment based on Warhammer Fantasy setting. I got inspired by many artworks made for WFRP guidebooks and various concepts and miniatures depicting the Altdorf, capital of the Empire. Currently I fell rather good…
Generally that's something you'd do for hard-surface items. It's beneficial when you've got quite sharp edges in the low poly mesh because it means the normal map has less "work" to do - it doesn't have to account for a rapid change in surface normal. Edges with a 90 degrees or sharper can be problematic even for properly…
back again with more updates! First, Lute string appearance! BEFORE...... and ...... AFTER need to make it either A- stand out more or B- make it less busy easy to read. will figure that out when I have the video demo... second, CUT SCENES I Now have to pick between two different looks, sharp shadows or a faded stone look.…
Hey Roxanne! I would definately try to add the text. I think it would be hard trying to match the right height of the text by just painting on the normal map and by modeling it you can get it just right. Plus I think it would just be easier. You can turn off the turbosmooth modifiers on you objects to make your system run…
While Matthew's car is a good asset by itself, i wouldn't exactly call it a true "mid-poly" (stupid term but how else to put it) asset. You can still see sharp lines from smoothing groups on it. The best example I can find right now is David Finlay's work: http://3dfinlay.com/html/veh/mcla.html to summarize a few key…
@MyPeople If by gaps you mean breaks in the continuity of the rays projected out of the low poly mesh during baking, then there is a quick fix for that: Use a cage. If by gaps, you mean general seams in your textures then yes you will, but keep in mind this issue only occurs along very sharp angles, and usually you want to…
Thx man. Still doodling around in the level editor to sort of feel around and figure out where to work to lift this thing. First of all I think I should bang up the bushes some so they are not so uniform. Then I have some tweaking to do, the sharp rush and barley just don't cut it, maybe I will remake them into better…
