Re: Wow, pretty amazing what the Crytek engine can do..
nah they surely have some of the most insane tech around. A bit too much yet for mainstream, but still lots of impressive stuff... It#s not just more hi-res stuff and some cool effects, but mostly organizing all the data for it... And that is not easily matched by other engines. The effects "standalone" have been around in… -
Re: Cool Ideas thread
Google for a bit, it's been done in various ways. Not in a real game form, but there are several video-analysing audio-setups, and then ofcourse there's the use of the wiimote as a musical 'instrument', usually controlling parameters (beats per minute, pitch, filters, etc...) of a synth. Maybe have a look over at… -
Re: Catacomb
My suggestion about the ambient light: I was also thinking add in lights for the areas that become totally dark- but so that there are pools of light in strategic places and not just a uniform dull light. you can still choose where there needs to be enough light to see but keep control over it. for example- if you stuck a… -
Re: Triva / History Dev Question
Quake 1/2/3 were all vertex animation, though Q3 divided models into three jointed sections. Killer Instict and its sequel were both sprite-based. Half life sounds like a likely candidate as far as major or modable games go, but who can say what small projects might have used it on a small scale before then? [edit] We have… -
Re: UT3 Normal map seams?
Unreal has some pretty strict guidelines for mirroring if you don't want to see seams. The rule of thumb - mirror only horizontally. You're UV seams will also need to be on a perfect vertical, no curves, just straight lines on the vertical axis. As for the second UV channel, this only has to do w/ UE3's real preview in the… -

Re: Gaea/World Creator workflow
Yes, I tried creating landscapes in sustance designer and there are some examples that exist but its surely not as flexible. I havent heard of the image size problem and doesnt designer support exact per pixel changes of the output image? I dont have specific needs, I just like to think of the possibilites of procedural… -
Ancient Forest (Vincent Lebocey concept sketch)
Happy Holidays everyone, Just "finished" my second ever unreal engine environment based on a really cool sketch from Vincent Lebocey. It took quite a long time as I've never attempted an exterior scene with foliage in UE4 before. I got my start in 3D with SubD modeling and rendering with Vray so Realtime rendering is still… -
Tree library recommendation (3d scanned?)
Hello, I'm looking for high quality tree assets for a small scene where performance is not so much of an issue. Something like this: Quixel Megascan Jungle Star wars Battlefront - Endor's moon I do not want to make a huge open world forest like this one: Unreal Engine 4 - Open Jungle DirectX 12 Demo I've looked at xfrog,… -
Art Test Docks
Hey guys, I applied for Splash Damage and was given this art test to do. They seemed to like my portfolio, but sadly, I was turned down (with zero feedback), so I thought I'd see what you lot had to say. Any tips would be much appreciated! Realtime images are in Xnormal, with some post-processing (light bloom, SLIGHT…
