Re: ECGC art contest submission
Sometimes it's difficult to do when you're in the process of making a model, but take a step back and come back in a few minutes and take a look at this model. Does it look realistic? Does it accomplish the look you're trying to go for? This is a picture of an ak-74m What's interesting about this picture is that the color… -
Re: What does the Specular channel in UE4 actually do.
It makes sense to me but it helps to have some background as to why. (I'm not an expert so don't put too much weight on anything I say but I generally know the gist of things) The metallic value is for saying what type of material it is and what shader model it's using. I'm simplifying but a non-metalic material will have… -
Re: FBXport a maxscript to help automate exporting files to UDK
kaburan, yea I didn't make it smart enough to handle a model without a material, it shouldn't be too hard to get it to create a new material and assign it, but for now just make sure you have a material assigned. Nice work parkar! I started working on a UI and then thought, I'm making this more complicated than it needs to… -
Re: Sketchbook: Willow Paquette
Almost done with blocking things out, more details to come as I start finalizing geo and making more advanced materials. A lot of my time since my last update has been going into material creation. The hologram material and Text Decals especially. I also am finally showing off the other side of the hallway and have… -

Looking at the images i cant really tell the material rifle is suppose to be made of, only sharp highlights that indicate highly polished surface, now while that… -
Re: How to understand textures?
Allegroithmic put together a great "intro to PBR materials" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1A0YqdRhe4 Even if you are familiar with PBR, its worth watching, they drop some good knowledge that even pros might find useful. The biggest thing I see with your materials is that each material seems to be done in isolation and… -
Re: [UE4] Mirror's Edge Fanart Environment
hm, that was a bit of a revive :poly136:: thanks! It really was a bunch of tiling details on top of more tiled details and so on... the cleanliness of the environment did contribute to the ease of tiled materials (on top of tiled details and so on :v) because there were less unique details like grime and leaks to represent… -
Re: Old IBM Datacenter Environment Piece
@studtoprof Here is the Master material. Honestly I could have optimized it a little (not needing cubemap reflections and standalone emmisive material but I had them because I needed them for a few assets and I did not want to make another master material just for an asset or two). Because I can Offset/Scale my UVs in my… -

I have some questions about PBR
So the current project I'm working on, in UE4, has encouraged me to rethink everything I know about PBR as I'm needing to create dynamic assets that work in the blackness of space as well as well lit hangars. Some basic questions, 1. Should lighting be built around PBR or PBR around lighting? For instance, is there only…
