Re: Can someone explain to me why this shader effect doesnt work?
one other issue i can think of, is that worldspace vertex normals aren't simply a case of "blue channel = up". up is a combination of all three channels. so the first thing you'd need to do is find out what direction is "up" in UE4 (for example, is it Y up? i'll use that as the example i'm about to make). then you'd need… -
Re: Modeling big environments.
Ghost in the Shell is fantastic. I don't have much advice to give because I have similar issues. It is very intimidating to start on a big environment sicne you see the full picture and need to break it down. That would be the advice i would give is break the scene down into smaller chunks. For example you can seperate the… -
Re: Border Fill - modeler's dream come true
Yeah, well, I have like.. huge following :D Seriously though, I first set it up to back creating maxscript tutorials (you can see WIP here) and found geogebra in the process that has a license conflicting with for-profit use and if I have to choose, I prefer releasing it for free and without backing, with nicer and… -
Re: SC2 Hydralisk
Thank you jaydon, I really like you darksider model. Yenkee: Thanks for the advice, I made new uv for this model but it is not as neat as those incredible layout I can see here. That's a point where I am clueless, do you move your uv by hand trying to fullfill every space, or is there a magic button? It seems so hard to do… -
Re: Normalmap baking
If you look into your normal map you see that the texture itself includes this "bending". The segments in the normal map should look the same from top to bottom in your example scene. My guess would be that you might have baked the map without any phong- or edgebreaks - e.g. a model with smooth normals. Afterwards you… -
Re: Why realistic graphics matters to games
I think you could make a lot of easy gains in the editing department This is a great example, watch out for repetitive phrasing. Some other things that jump out: Your editing instinct should tingle anytime you see a phrase like "that being a game in which." It's stilted, nobody talks like that. Read it aloud. Another… -
Re: wrapping my head around modular design
Yea for sure, I guess my question was I see all these nice modular pieces that ppl still manage to fit into a square texture space, like perfectly, and that aren't just simple planes (Like in the philip K example vs the Thiago Klafke one) Another example to illustrate my inquiry would be this modular building exterior by… -
Re: Gravity Generator
you have quite a few detail discrepancies in your low poly. for example the smaller tubes have the same number of sides as the bigger ones, and considering the way they are placed it doesnt seem like a good idea, so you probably wanna increase the number of sides on the bigger ones ( or remove on the other, depending on… -
Re: Tangent Space Confusion
Nice stuff Parkar. jocose, if a normal is -1 (dirty yellow in a tangent space map) then it is pointing towards the back of the triangle (if the surface normal is pointing towards the front of the triangle, as is usually the case). So then that pixel won't be lit unless the light is coming from the back. I put an example… -
Re: DS Game Moon
like most others here I have been following the Ds:Moon project and it looks like a interesting DS game not just from the technology standpoint. Something though that I noticed in the screenshots, Videos and now in your Artwork is the use of Black as a gradient towards dark. Because of that the Astronaut looks tinted in…
