Ok Im getting lost in the process. Im probably trying to over analyze, but this is frustating the hell out of me. The tut relies on linking subobjects together which I cannot since it needs to be boned. It also assumes universals at both ends with a telescoping action. No. One universal with a dogbone (pin that slides in…
I'll try to give you an answer: As far as I know there are three typical workflows when it comes to normal mapping 1: You create a color texture in photoshop, make a greyscale heightmap of it (white up, black down) and use that to create a normal map, either using NVIDIAs or xNormals Photoshop plugin or you can use…
Just a few questions... I'm planning on making some modular walls for an environment. I've made texture by using photoshop and transfer mapping onto a flat plane with no problems. This time I wanted to make a modular wall that isn't so flat to make my scene more visually interesting. I've created a plane and pushed the…
did you reset the x-form? can we get a screen with bounding box, grid, wires and axis? include the x y z transofrm numbers at the bottom, under the animation bar (highlit the geo and have the move tool selected)
yes, and they're all pig-ugly. USA already has over 4000 abrams tanks, the most expensive version (M1A2) costing 6 million apiece. this thing will probably cost around 7-8 million, what with all the techy stuff stuffed into it. here's what the germans bought: its a PZH 2000. it outranges the FCS vehicle by at least 10km.…
Hey guys ! would like to share my idea about this skin , bringing a sci fi style to this character and her trasformation while in ultimate. ive got a couple of references about existing skins of this set .
Jeebers! It would have looked better if they'd just made the canvas taller, selected the top quarter and stretch-tranformed it to fit. Obviously a cock up in the 'Information Adjustments' department.
I don't think it makes you a phoney. How are you a phoney if you did all the work of transforming their idea into another medium? If you use your own labor to take an idea from concept to expression (no matter where that idea comes from), you're not a phoney. Does anyone see how bad this is? People are shying away from…
@dzibarik The floral relief pattern is the only photo-derived part of the gun. I dropped into the Royal Armouries while visiting Leeds a few months ago, and seized the opportunity to get some nice photo-reference. I began by extracting a single diamond shape (containing a subset of flowers) from the photograph and used…
Sure. Physically based rendering in Unreal is implemented via a standard microfacet BRDF. The BRDF is the bit that takes in all the parameters and spits back out a reflection for each surface, where roughness is interpreted as a statistical heightfield of tiny facets on the surface of a model within a pixel. These facets…
