The UE4 demo was also running on a consumer level system with an i7 and a single GTX 680. I highly doubt the same can be said for the Agni demo, as much as I'd love to see visuals like that being feasible in the near future.
Is it playable at all yet? Are you guys sending out anything to promote it? I'd be curious to learn where the backing has (more or less) come from - for those of us who ... you know... may be doing Kickstarters in the future :D
Good job EmAr I would really like to see how you achieved your smoke trail in this video in a future tutorial ;) [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twg3qN3Ho4Q"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twg3qN3Ho4Q[/ame]
For future reference, the fastest way for me was to take it into Photoshop and cut/paste another tile over the top of it. Took seconds to fix and you can't tell the difference. This fix wouldn't have been possible in a more complex mesh though.
Thanks for the feedback man! Your point about it feeling generic and about how you should build environments with a certain type of game in mind, really helps. I'll definitely take that more into consideration with future environments. Thanks again!
You probably shouldn't bill him for the hours it took to fix unless it was made clear from the beginning that this would be a learning experience for you with the potential of throwbacks. Also depends on how much you value a good future relationship with this client.
@future-fiction, thanks. Yeah I have a fuzz map isolating the effect to the jaw chin and skull region. The cavity map is a bake from knald with a highpass over the albedo to extract the fine details and with some adjustment layer magic.
Here's a thought. Why cant they return to the original design? With like 100 poly characters and triangle tits etc but with next gen physics, lighting, etc. Like minecraft but more "dynamic".... I'd love it! Retro is the new future tbh...
The answers to all of your questions are no, not at this time, but it's possible we may have some sort of solution in the future. This is a problem that can occur at some extreme angles (generally over 90 degrees), and can generally be alleviated by beveling the offending edge.
I am absolutely sure an employee would require his companies permission and blessing to take the day off to be a guest speaker and train future prospective hires. So yes, I assume you got the wrong end of the stick.
