Re: [UE5] Cinema
Here is an Update: I adjusted the Shader for the emissives for the Marquee, in the Gif below I have so that a second UV set is used with a horizontal gradient to create a bit of motion for the lights. I also went in and switched out the Large boxes for the block out and created a bunch of metric measured Wall meshes. I… -
Re: logitech G402 mouse issue
As a matter of fact I do prefer wired too, probably because when using a wired mouse on a clean desk the very subtle tug from the wire (when lifting up the mouse and moving it around) somehow acts as an anchor indicating the vertical direction. I actually got into the habit of taping the wire to my desk so that it stays at… -
Re: Help on some modelling
Alternatively, a 'free form' approach : - Subdivided cube (x4 divisions) - Sketch out the various cuts, using the knife tool - Then Inset, which will provide control loops - Merge / delete stray vertices - Achieving this object's unique shape by proportional editing - Apply a sub-division modifier - shade smooth (optional… -
Re: Fern leaf objects rendering over one another in Unreal?
Alpha blend often causes sorting problems, as explained here https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Engine/Rendering/Materials/HowTo/Transparency/index.html Most foliage should be using "alpha test". Called opacity mask in Unreal. https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Resources/ContentExamples/MaterialNodes/1_8/index.html If… -
Re: Visible UV seams in Substance Painter at mirror edge
All right, I figured out how to tell the mirror modifier(s) to shift the resulting UV maps by one square, but I'm not sure about the welding. The UVs shouldn't intercept anymore, and I think the modifier should "weld" the vertices, at least it definitely combines them to the same one after being applied on export. Upon… -
Re: 3ds models - some work in external library others don't. What's the difference?
bench.3ds has a hierarchy structure, 21 boxes linked to a non-mesh node (a "dummy" in 3ds terms), which is linked along with a cylinder mesh to a root dummy node. So three levels of hierarchy. This could be causing your troubles. The monster 3ds file is a single mesh, no hierarchy. However it does have a ton of split… -
Re: How to fix a messed skeleton?
If you plan on using the skeleton in the game engine again there isn't much you can do about it. The geometry of the bone will always point down the X axis. Two things you can do: Apply an Edit Poly modifier to each bone and rotate the vertices into place. This won't disturb the pivot, but will allow you to modifier the… -
Re: [UE4] Deus Ex Corridor
New lighting is much easier on the eyes. Now I'm able to focus more on the details, the sheer amount of vertical lines and elements to the right of the door are distracting. I guess it's a case of imagining some of it not being there unless the layout changes. Also with the new lighting being darker, the bulkhead (with the… -
Re: General Question about modeling simple props with many shapes
What I'm getting at is, where do you draw the line (when making lower poly models) where tacking geometry together without welding vertices becomes a bad practice? For instance, let's say you were developing a game character that had many accessories to the character's outfit (belts, extra gear, water canteen, etc.) but… -
Re: Just How Important Are Specular Maps For Photo-Real Faces? Cameras, filters etc
They're not important at all, infact, you could also not use diffuse, nor normals maps. Just create a bunch of vertices and stick them in you app of choice. Let the player use their imagination! OK, seriously EVERY model needs some sort of spec/gloss map setup, how else are you supposed to define a material? You can't…
