Re: Why you should NOT trust 3ds Max's viewport normal-map display!
Also object space stuff isn't as modular. You couldn't really re-use parts all over the place because the normals are too specific. With tangent-space you can essentially say "hey this whole texture is flat relative to my lowpoly!" whereas that won't work with object-space stuff. -
Re: Roads
Try to use one texture for straight mesh, and other to curved mesh, also you need to paint it after modeling, if you paint before curve mesh will distort the texture. Also you can try to do 4 pieces of a modular road, like the straight line, curve, intersection and "T" form. -
Re: Developer Diary - Fantasy Side Project
Now have a functioning fetch quest with modular components. You essentially have a character who begins an event, an object with the same interface, destroying the actor changes the event stage...so...you can have multiple things to collect, kill, etc. and quest completion once you turn it in to the quest giver. -
Re: Monthly Art Challenge March 2016 (38)
Hi all I want to to work with the spaceship. I did a small blockout. But I am struggeling how I will do the main hull. Maybe I will do it completely modular or I do it a hybrid way in Unreal 4. Maybe one of you guys could help me with that... Cheers Evil_Fischi -
Re: Uberren's Tiling Texture Practice
That looks amazing, I'm always mesmerized by good modular environments and textures :p Might I ask how you did the roof tiles? I'm trying to visualize your UVs on your roof texture and I can't see how you managed to get such a good result that isn't too stretched. -
Re: UDK - Material - World Projection Texture on Skeletal Mesh
I used this technique all the time when I want to have environments made of tiling textures but have unique normal maps and seamless detail normals. Saves a lot of memory, easy to author and looks awesome. Got the Idea after seeing snefer's modular exercise post. UVs can be fun. -
Re: Bagner ´s art thread of 3d støff
I wanted to make some modular enviroment that was large, have heavy use of modules and was made with a master material. Still adding models and editing textures. I have taken inspiration from Rage, fallout and Tor fricks Scifi Slum http://polycount.com/discussion/84867/scifi-slum-in-udk#latest -
Re: Article: Game Art Art
Here's a working version of that interior mapping article http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/DevelopmentKitGemsInteriorMapping.html Awesome stuff Simon. In regards to the AC3 windows, I remember Epic talking about doing stuff like using the camera vector and sliding various textures (example shop store front) in a powerpoint.… -
Re: WIP Space Game Prototype
Awesome work man :) ! Love the modular textures you've got going on, looks pretty cool for a prototype. You should post a video if you can ;) ! You can use software like Fraps to film and AviRecomp or something to compress it to whatever size (and resolution) you want. Good work so far! -
Re: Sketchbook: JamesClarke
Thanks for the comments mate. I'm still getting used to controling specular and figuring out what looks right with it so I'll reduce it a bit. Here's the finished texture on the middle building (I'm going to make some modular roofing sections in the near future so they wont all have this crappy paneling.:
