Re: Half-Life Project
hey guys. thanks for the inputs. i added reflections, but i have to really tweak them to show right. angles are off, they only look good from certain angles, etc. i have to rotate the cubemap so they are facing the right way. all in all, the reflections are present, (as you can see from the light reflection on the tiles) i… -
Re: (Finished) Alley [Unreal Engine]
I created the materials for the walls in Substance Designer using an instance with a different color for the right side. The light in the Unreal scene is still temporary. I used Vertex Color for the first time on the dark walls using an albedo map with dirt I also created in Substance Designer. (Still need to do the same… -
Re: UDK: X materials on a mesh mean mesh renders X times?
it's actually MORE than that too...if i recall correctly. It has to render the mesh once per material per dynamic light that touches it, which is why UE3 has its lightenvironment stuff for dynamic actors and why its dynamic lights can be so expensive. If you place an object with three materials and put two dynamic lights… -
Re: Server Room WIP
The scene is looking great man, I agree that the new lights look much better. To push them even further it might be worth it to take the layer that you made the blue dots on in your texture and use it as a height map in crazy bump so you can get little normal mapped recesses around the lights. And other than that I think… -
Re: Are normal maps always necessary?
three are no sharp edges in real life. That's the main reason I can see for making a HP of the kind of model you've got there. All edges have a slight curve to them which catches light in a certain way- otherwise it'd be razor-edged on each side! The HP and bake will reflect this. It might seem subtle but the result to the… -
Re: Stylized saloon
Thanks HolBol! You are right. I haven't really practiced lightning at all. I guess I need to find some tutorials about that subject next :) Had hard time trying to make those lanterns work and I didn't really figure out how I could make those look better. Lights are added in toolbag. -
Re: Skaven Watchtower
[ QUOTE ] thanks Matabus! I'll get on those textures first thing in the morning (I work nights). Now the whole light baking thing, wouldn't I need to have the UVs laid out where nothing overlaps? Or is this something I shouldn't even worry about right now? [/ QUOTE ] Possibly 2 sets of UV coordinates? -
[WIP] Piggy
Ok so for my next project I wanted to do an organic model an decided upon a pig. here is the lowPoly mesh I have right now. It subdivides good so it should be fine for sculpting, but it will need to be rigged so that it can be posed. I think my poly count is ok too. First question is, I have never rigged anything so if… -
Re: Mountain Logging Camp Environment (UDK)
Update: Ok so had a look at boosting the ambient lighting somewhat. Still could be improved I think but maybe going in the right direction. What do you think? Got a couple of shrub sized plants done too. Next big ticket is the trees which finding it bit tricky with. Might post a WIP of the branch texture for some advice. -
Re: One more Handpainted Weapon
is that supposed to be some sort of stone? I think if you tweak your darks and lights to have more separation it would help. Right now the colors are a little flat because of this. The wood has red paint on it? IF so, you might want to check some reference on how paint chips, scratches and wears off of wood. Would you be…
