[Ue4 Environment] Hut in The Fantasy Jungle
Hello This is an environment that I did in UE4, I Created the whole foliage and props and everything you see there. (Water Shader is from Epic Games though smiley Prop Texturing was in Substance Painter and environment Textures were created in Substance Designer. Foliage was created using 3ds max and Speedtree Rocks and… -
Re: Advice for wannabe technical artist's career direction?
First, you can totally still apply to junior level positions. Applying to junior positions is completely reasonable if you've got less than two years experience. As for tech art, you're probably not focusing tightly enough. I know smaller studios like generalists, but it's better to be good at one thing than bad at… -
Re: [WIP] Palm Tree Forest - a study on vegetation and landscapes in UE4
Added temporary grass to fill the scene. For now, I'm using the Grass Tools to populate the landscape with grass without doing any manual painting. The colors and lighting are still work-in-progress. Just discovered that there is a SpeedTree Color Variation function that makes it easier to add variety in each grass… -
Re: What do you think about using base mesh, tools, and Addons?
Better put the effort in making them yourself at the beginning. Going straight to an addon that creates it for you will give you free time, but will rob you from experience. Many studios and even AAA studios dont bother wasting time creating something from 0 if there is a generator that helps them speed up. Huge example is… -
Re: Warrior's Pilgrimage Project
Great work guys, you seem to have the pipeline well sorted between the 2 of you, and it looks like you are working really well together! Couple of questions if I may. For your assets, each one got a unique texture map done in substance designer? You don't utilize vertex painting for example to blend 'generic' tileable… -
Re: Borneo Level Uncharted 2 Modularity? Discuss
If they were using SpeedTree, from what I recall, it has the option to create roots which automatically conform to the mesh it's on, so if they made that part of their pipeline, they could have had a very easy time with trees. Also, they're making good use of AO fades in the game to assemble things. If you notice, many… -
Re: [UE4] Mountainside Road Environment
I changed the leaf meshes from a square polygon to a shape representing the actual needles, had to stick to one polygon still, because the translucency to polygon trade-off didn't increase my frame rate (actually even lowered it) even by switching from 1 polygon to 2. I'm thinking about baking down larger branches into… -
Re: Foliage and Landscaping
Plants and foliage is kind of generic. There are several methods. It could be sprites always facing the camera, or intersecting planes...Could be manually placed or generated with specific softwares, mix of both. Then it could be skinned to bones, static, or deformed by the engine... Take a look at this… -
Re: UDK Vignette - South American cliff road
Here's wireframe for the scene and the large-leaf phylodendron. The phylo is a beast (2370 faces) and could probably be optimized by collapsing the stalks down to 3 sides instead of 4, plus collapsing the base of all the stalks into one vertex with some grass around the bottom, but it covers a lot of square footage and I… -
Re: Monthly Environment Art Challenge - July & August 2018 (55)
Added the clothes pile and pants/socks! Just gotta do the pillows then I'll be done with the fabric assets. Currently thinking over how I want to do the bonsai tree for the zen guy's side. While it's tempting to use a premade tree and save myself the pain of drinking the SpeedTree koolaid (along with dropping $$ for a…
