Re: Efficient way to texture a topographically complex mech for Unreal?
Speaking of UV unwrap I don't understand what's the big issue with such kind of a model. I do UV exclusively in Blender for decade already and there it's just: a) make auto smooth angle b) make smart UV project c) pack by packmaster with heuristic and rotation on That smart uv project splits cylinders into 3 islands… -
Re: Which is better for beginners, Blender or Maya?
Just checked , couldn't find free one non-commercial or not. There was PLE Maya years ago, not anymore. As of the pipeline tool you really just need to know how to export your work into Max for example for collaboration purpose when necessary or rather straight to game editor. I did use 3d Max for a few decades and then… -
Re: (UE4) Teaching an old dog new tricks! Landscape studies
@Jack M. Thank you for the kinds words! And that great idea on adding variation to the grass. I think I have a good idea on how to accomplish it by sampling the landscape texture plus tiling a subtle noise over world space but I haven't tried it out just yet! Hopefully soon! @DonSmith Thank you so much! Sorry for the delay… -
Re: [WIP][UE4] Cat in the Rain (Town Square Environment)
@rexo12 As for the static sky light, I think you can put it on stationary and it'll still be good for static lighting, it'll just enable GI too. Most games use mixed lighting (especially with sun and sky lights), it's never entirely static. I'll double check my setting for my static lit scenes when I get back from work and… -
Re: [UE4] Victorian Office
@Darthice Really huge improvement all around. It's giving me some really nice Bioshock Infinite vibes. I think the intensity of the left curtain in particular is a bit much. See if you can reduce the intensity a bit for that. I think the lamps should have a much softer cone of light. Right now it's very sharp and… -
Re: Is it worth it becoming 3D Artist?
I agree a person must grow up at some point, unless they want to be the 35 year old living with their parents with all of their earthly accomplishments summed up on steam achievements page. But I am saying there will come a time when it happens naturally -- you don't have to force it. I am only speaking from my own… -
Re: Sci fi design - how to design that stuff ?
haha I love it. But yeah, complex shapes (or simple depending on if you're going for a society that abstracted everything), repetition, usually a lot of metal, hard-surface, certain shapes. Just look at a particular sci-fi enviro that you like and literally break it down into simple shapes and color patterns. Analyze what… -
Re: The worst time to graduate?
Ahh yea London and Europe in general that makes sense... London in general has a lot of people from all over the world who want to live there and they aren't very poor... In the states if we don't like how the urban planning is going we just move a few miles and scratch out a new business park, a few housing developments… -
Re: PUBG low texel density. Why?
Smaller texel size become, more repeating textures would appear, less natural, distinctive details they could have. Small texel size requires lots of special tricks to hide the repeating ugliness, especially in outdoor scenes : multi layers . decals , special "covering" geometry , UV splits . It's a non-stop fight and… -
