Looking good, that UV unwrap job is a nice one good use of space =) The Ben nailed what I was talking about. You don't need to go as extreme as painting the entire background one color. Just put 1-2px of padding that matches the pieces color around each piece so the alpha mask doesn't pick up and try to blend with the…
Is the issue that you're having, is that it just "SNAPS" to the direction without interpolating? Because unreal pawns do that by default and its pretty annoying. Ha! I'm not in front of unreal at the moment but off the top of my head there are three setting that you almost always have to set before you can start working…
After seeing Ankit Garg's redesign of Link from the Nintendo series The Legend of Zelda, I decided to redesign the goddess statue from the same series to be my hero assets in the scene. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/bg0LZr (The Goddess statue from The Legend of Zelda series) I am aiming to redesign the statue as a…
Good progress so far! The new tiling materials for the floor and wall you've gone with definitely help. Like @Eric Chadwick mentioned, you'll want to look at blending textures (via resources such as the link he provided relating to LOU2.) Even at this stage, you could explore Vertex Painting (this video is a…
Hi guys! I am learning about 2 ways to texture large landscapes. Mask creating and terrain creation not a problem. I am more interested in texturing workflows. If someone who is pro can gave some good tips, pros cons what is usually for both terrains for games or in 3ds max, Blender. If I have 5 masks and textures for…
This may depend also on the used topology.. also on the reference there seems to be a smaller blend/round/fillet than the shown wider (angular ) bevel/chamfer (depending in which app you are more familiar with).. so the left one has no weighted normals (almost no difference; at least with these options) and i tried the…
Over the last few days i have implemented a few more blend shapes. I have found it very easy to go blend shape crazy and add corrections and little movements through out the body. Little things like stomach inflate and deflate when rotating the chest up and down, skin creasing on places like the elbows and neck and good…
Time for another update on this project! Been focusing more on environment materials for the ground since my last post as I want to practice a bit of designer materials. Took some time over the christmas break to make a leaf generator using splines and shape splattering. This is the progress so far, but I think it would be…
It started to seem to me that shaders codding is one of this "web things" too. For a while we had shaders done after my and other artists requests and ideas , blender nodes constructs, blending modes , what multiply/add to what and in what order and why. Which way to do proper height blend without blur involvement etc. And…
This looks really, really good! It reminds me of Half-Life 2. =) You’ve truly excelled in the amount of detail here, and it’s honestly hard to come up with suggestions. One small thing I noticed, mainly in the darker scenes, is that the player could perhaps be highlighted just a little more, or given a subtle light source…
