So I've been working all day and saving sequentially as I progress. My files are spread out in various folders. No main project file was created with all objects nicely saved in an appropriate 'assets' folder (instead, they were imported into the scene and the scene saved). I've also imported shaders from other folders on…
Hey, I tried searching about this information a bit and was surprised not to find anything. I have issues with when I create Smart materials (in 1.6) within groups sometimes they land in a completely different place then I expect. Sometimes they land in a group outside my current selected group (woot?). For instance, I…
The witch doctors behind Substance Designer, Bitmap2Material (Allegorithmic) anounced Substance Painter PARTICLE BRUSHES How much time do you spend making your assets look real by adding wear and tear manually? What could be better than using real physics to replicate nature's work in a fast and awesome way? 3D & 2D…
Why is Arnold changing in size whenever he moves? Why do his lips move without inbetween transitions? Why are the shadows hard edged, even on the places where shadow must no exist? Why does he have a laser-mecha eye for a normal eye? How come his wife didn't notice this, how does he take a shower without frying it? How…
Yeah I love that idea too. Luckily with all the virtual reality headsets that are in the making, it won't be long. There are even '4D' movies in the making where the entire film happens around you in virtual reality and you can theoretically live inside it and experience the movie differently every time you watch it. Heavy…
I loved the tech insider video, +recognized UE4 running on their computers. I wonder how disorienting something like that could be? VR in portal? IE I wonder what would happen if someone trips and falls with that expensive gear. Still, pretty cool to see virtual reality mapping to an actual physical space. I wonder how it…
I don't understand what the electric blue rails are for? At first I thought it was some kind of electric beam laser boundary or something like that, but it wouldn't fit with the rest of the building. The scenery nor building look futuristic. Are the blue materials meant to appear to glow? If not, I would rework them to a…
This is still not really that impressive when you really think about it. Atomic weaponry is still the most available and devastating stuff out there, (aside from obvious chemical/biological disasters) and it is also perfected. It is, unfortunately, a mythical power that will only be used by the mad and insane. No country…
Yeah that's extremely generous of you to share your process, thank you! I've often wondered how I would tackle layered embroidery, if it would be an entirely separate piece of geometry or something like this that can be layered in texturing. Hopefully I can adopt a workflow like this when I get to texturing on my current…
There is a lot to be said for leading a balanced life. So many jagged vets, started out as those guys in their parents basement surrounded by empty cans of energy drinks with laser focus on one thing. It's a bit like the artist that draws one eye'ed space marines and can't draw anything else. Valve wants well rounded…
