Re: nDo - Normal creation toolkit
just a quick suggestion: could you rename instantiate into copy, because its not really an instance (like in max), if i change the values on one layer the other doesnt get changed (would be a little dumb if it would) also, if one ads another layer, could you implement a short dialog which will make us able to rename the… -
Re: planning a model

[WIP] UE4 Personal Project, Environment - 1663, Yuri Hill
I'm a technical artist I'm trying to get back into environment art in my free time. I decided to do an environment based on a concept by Yuri Hill.

Ok, well the general gist is that MetalMind and myself are creating a Zelda styled, RPG-lite for the iPhone. The general rule of thumb is that it will play… -
Two questions re character creation
Hey all, I'm in the planning stages of starting my first attempt at a game character. I've done characters for animation before, high poly only stuff but never anything geared towards games. All my current game based work is environment stuff and while it's what I enjoy, I've always wanted to give characters a go too. I…
