Re: M26 Grenade
I would make a low poly version with a more proper poly count. Part of a portfolio, is showing a perspective employer that your capable of creating assets useable in a production environment. Your asset isn't production ready due to high poly count. And its not like you used those unnecessary polys to real good use. A… -
Re: Vertex colors not working, 3ds or UDK problem?
You can check Pixel Camera box in your material to allow Vertex and Transform to work, but inorder for that to work, you must have a Reflection Node connecting into your Transform. Either Mutiply/Add your Reflection to whatever is entering your Transform, or subtract reflection by itself and again, Multiply/Add to whatever… -
Re: My UE4 Learning Thread.
Just as a heads up for the BSP lightmap res.... its actually inverse of how you're probably thinking. So Lightmap resolution of FBX's in UDK/UE4 are determined by the pixel resolution of how you set it (ie: 32 lightmap res on an FBX = 32x32 texture resolution), however the Lightmap res on BSP defaults to 32 and gets… -
Re: Monthly Environment Art Challenge - July & August 2018 (55)
@Ashervisalis Thanks, man. I was thinking I like to keep my props in my UV map normally, but this prop is going to be so dang big there's no way I wouldn't see pixels, thanks for confirming some of my speculations. Ya know, I did not even see that pillow-shroud thing you got going on, that is so cool! Retopo wont be that… -
Re: Am I right for hating bloom?
This is not connected to PBR at all, nor to materials. Only to pixel brightness. Its a post process effect, so its an artistic thing. Bloom is exaggerated in a lot of games, sometimes its way too exaggerated but it can add to the final image depending on what look you are aiming. It can be a part of the style. To me the… -
Re: PBR Smoothness bleeding issue
While you first puddle example looks actually pretty realistic and real life puddles often have such shiny halo , looking a bit differently although, it 's definitely a problem with PBR, especially metalness approach in certain situations. Too contrast roughness pixel values always makes such filtering halo and often looks… -
Re: Make shabby walls out of two objects with separate tiled texture
Well then I'd look carefully at what has been done before with it, and steal (ahem borrow) ideas from that. If you Google LS3D engine, it leads to Hidden & Dangerous 2, so here's a destroyed city in that game. Looks like just damage painted into the textures, and reused a ton. Lots of big blurry pixels, a real shortcoming… -
Re: THRONE ROOM - Seat of the Stargazer - (Team) Jellied Whales
Thanks for feedback guys, it's really motivating! =D What we're onto at the moment is, partly whilst I'm carving away at the throne and some other assets, our lecturer has raised the question of texel density for our scene as it's super big. So what we're kind of doing now is a proof of concept that the textures for our… -
Re: Help With Skyboxes
I've heard cubemaps are optimized to render fast on most GPUs. Also for fast IBL. Depends on your engine I think. For full sky coverage, with only two layers, a cubemap is a good way to go. Best pixel density in every direction. Then add alpha planes on top (side clouds, upper clouds, lower clouds). If you're limited to a… -
Re: Static lighting in Unity 2018.3
Even directional lightmaps are just a rough approximation. What you are seeing on the left picture is the specular of the omni which depends on the exact position of the light. If your omni is the strongest light, its direction will be saved, but (probably) not it's distance to each pixel of the lightmap. So basically this…
