ok epic just released a new exporter now it seems not to crash it was XSI 6.02 and an character with a skeleton applied, i'm not an xsi User though and i'm not the one exporting, i'll be the one who will have to get the damn file into max if the XSI exports doesn work *grml lets hope everything is fine now
I had similar situation and I had to place meshes in UE by hand. There is no way to export positions :(SHAME ON YOU EPIC. but I was able to copy\paste values from 3ds max. I had to change in my system , to . and sometimes had to change - value to + value because some axis are inverted.
Are you serious????!!! that was so cool and epic!!! I loved the transition from the game to the 3d, I was curious how you planed the fight animation , can you share that knowledge with us? :o And I just found you worked on Angel Stone cinematic holy shit dude hahaha you are such an inspiration!!!
Yeah just having the two means you would have to have a crazy high texture resolution! Where if they were modular you could make 3 or four and build it using them. Just to add to ZFerguson's links PhillipK also has an epic tutorial! http://www.philipk.net/tutorials/modular_rocks/modular_rocks.html
New idea. ORNN! Hell yeah! Love him. Ornn and his raging Lava (Ha, lava again, who knew) elemental busting into raging battle epicness. Taking place in the snow among battle debris and in front of a large unidentifiable (could be a secret weapon could not be, I don't know ;) ) building.
I dont know how EPIC call it a fix, I wonder if i will have some real weird enviro where all stuff use concrete texture and is joined like that as they show, if i move all other parts out of UV 1 space than Im in serious trouble oO
Super slow progress on enverything, but I started putting the face into Unreal instead of Marmoset. Still having trouble to make the skin look right, somehow the subsurface scattering in Marmoset seems to look much better than in Unreal.. Eyes are the slightly modified epic games eyes, will further adjust them later.
There is so much money to be made I will be surprised if they don't make more films for the franchise, although I agree that they would probably alter the heck of out The Silmarillion to try and make something appealing to mainstream people. I'd rather see other franchises have a go. Elric, or maybe Fafhrd and the Gray…
The one problem you have with the edge of the shelf is because you probably have a curve in your lightmap unwrap, straightening the edge in the uv should fix it. The other one is harder to fix, since epic is putting quite a bit of compression on the lightmaps. Can you post a screenshot of your lightmap unwrap here?
I think it looks awesome. I can see a ton of improvements and seriously this is our first look into the new gears. Do you really expect Epic to give us the money shot on the first take? If so you need to go watch more porn and realize the money shot comes at the end.
