Re: Requesting Advice on Game Environment Design
Things like walls and floors can often be modular and/or used with tiling materials made with something like Substance Designer. Depending on what sort of details you're looking to make or how much time you have, actually creating a HP model and baking may not be necessary. Likewise, something like Substance Painter could… -
Re: Lowpoly from kitbashed mesh?
No, it's not a problem if you're making all the pieces yourself with production in mind. But then you're not really kit-bashing in the 'traditional' sense. :) But there's no reason why you couldn't make a production ready kit of unwrapped parts set up for a low/high bake workflow. Almost like a modular kit of parts that… -
Re: UE4 - Interior Environment - Genius Party Apartment
susbtance designer materials - wooden planks Started building my wooden plank material that I will be using for the wooden floor in the small hallway, and the Hallway wall panel walls in the main hallway. I'm having some lightmapping issues so it looks much dark on the walls than the floor itself. I started with this for… -
Re: Parallax Occlusion Mapping
Remember that we are talking about shaders, here. It is impossible to say what shaders an engine has, or doesn't have, since the entire idea of shaders is expandability and modularity. Did you know OGRE has relief mapping? It does if anyone wants to port fabio's fx file to it (not difficult, actually). If the engine is so… -
Re: Hi/Lo Baking - Silhouette Issues
Ok, by dead UV space I mean its not being used on a detail that's going to be seen. If you have a face with something abutting it or another chunk O geometry inter penetrating it, the covered areas still have UV space assigned to them but that area could be considered "dead" as far as usefulness in displaying textures to… -
Re: Forest Lake Cabin Environment WIP
For a map I'm curently working on for sometime now, I used to create three big rock cliffs, one straight, one corner, and one 360°, three high poly sculpts and unique assets sharing a single 2048 table. That was very efficient to create rock cliffs with enough variation and modularity for UE3. And when I needed it, I… -
Re: W.I.P. Fan Art - The Division - Rockefeller Prison
Hi :) I haven't posted in a while but here is another update: I replaced the modular walls and columns with another version that has uvs for tiling correctly, and fixed an issue i had with getting pitch black meshes which was related with wrong gray textures packing. I will also change the floor texture as well as only… -
Re: Cement Refinery Project
After working on this scene for the better part of 10 months, I think its time to bring this project to a close. I'll be updating this thread daily with the screenshot progress until the end of the month. Whatever it looks like then is what will stand. Hopefully by the end of this i can chronicle the massive effort it took… -
Re: Whiteboxing!
Mostly eye balling, I mesure out box to the player height and use that as a guide. I'll even drop a biped in the scene set to the same height just to get better sense of scale. It can help to put camera about where head height is, link it to your measuring stick and lock its position, leaving the rotation open for you to… -
Re: [Maya] Adding noise to a curve?
That's a very interesting tool. I was experimenting with the sweep mesh tool until I realized that I can't use a custom mesh, as far as I can tell. I like the modularity, but as a way of keeping creative freedom, I want to be able to use an already sculpted, textured and seamless mesh, and only add noise to the curve…
