Strange, woder where im troubles are then, I was asuming wallworms importer is breaking things, or maybe its just compatibility issues with Max2015. I did read that the decopilation and unpacking of the native files needs the current soruce SDK (and seemingly some manual modifications as its not up to date for dota models)…
I covered a bit of it in the breakdown: https://80.lv/articles/building-florida-wilderness-in-unreal-4/ The graffiti is on a decal atlas. I've got the UVs parameterized so I can adjust them on an XY grid to match the size of each decal on the sheet. It's then just a matter of placing the decal in the editor. Any text with…
Nightshade UV Editor 2.0.1 has this feature. Select an edge or two UV's and run "Orient Edge". See my signature for the download link. If you still want to code this yourself then you need to calculate the arc tangent in degrees. You will get a result ranging between -90 and +90 degrees - which is the value that you need…
Hah thats a clever render stage! i like the tape. :) I got one setup with a plain arced plane and reflection cards placed all around. I experimented with surface detailing, draped cloth etc but in the end it distracted from the main thing in the scene..the model so iv settled for a simple environment. Personally, i would…
Thanks Handwiches, I hope it's interesting to watch. :) Working on the likeness in short stints in order to be able to see the problem areas whenever I come back to it. Still not right - but getting closer (feedback welcome!) Also been working on the base for the clothing, initially doing a quick retop and unwrap of the…
Hehehe, ummm for games you create hair with hair planes. http://www.3dartistonline.com/news/2015/04/how-do-i-create-real-time-hair-for-games/ There's a lot of anatomy errors in this but you asked specifically about the eyes, the eyelid has no reason to go beyond the upper part of the iris, it's function is to lubricate and…
here is my first impression of razor :P http://i.imgur.com/5MdlRY6.jpg ...andddd i dont recall gundam got such back slot there...(i admit it is huge haha, i will shrink it when i work on that after CNY) actually when drawing body armor i was refer to the twisted arc set for that... maybe due to many straight line/ shapes,…
I was mystery person lol. don't know why Syncsketch won't keep me logged in, and didn't check my username. I'm split about IK/FK on this. on one hand sure everything is connected and FK can give nice arcs. but on the other hand it's difficult to get smooth path and velocities in the extremities when you throw COG, Torso,…
Update: I added several lights, including ones that are slightly blue-tinted and less powerful than the other ones, to bring out some highlights. Also messed with some mesh placements, and added more foliage. Still not quite sure where to go from here... I want to call it a wrap, but I feel like there should be more for me…
there's something really powerful in the change in mindset from being a victim of emotions to being a participant/analyst. I'm learning in any measure, that's what can keep the scales tipped in your favor. stories like yours continue to drive home that point. also, on your subject of upbringing. I've talked to others irl…
