Re: Detailing hard-surface
the function of working like that is that the vast bulk of screen space is taken up by relatively simple shapes and colors that allow the player to see the shape/sillhouettes of the environment and assets. the player/eye is then drawn to the more interesting parts of the composition - that could be a door, ammo station or… -
Re: UE5 - How to render only what's inside a sphere?
you could create a material function (have that MF referenced by ALL scene material parents) containing a spheremask and : 1/ lerp with reflectionvector + a sky cubemap to remain an opaque material 2/ dynamically (blueprint) switch to an alpha material equivalence and use the spheremask as opacity mask 3/ use the… -
Re: Marmoset 4 general laggyness?
There are some shader compiles that happen the first time you do things like add a layer of a certain type, change a blend mode, etc. These cache though and only need to be rebuilt when the app updates & those features change in a significant way. Once you've done most of the basic functions at least once it should feel… -
Re: How about MidJourney or other AI art
I've been playing around with Midjourney for a few weeks now and I absolutely love it. I'm using the paid version, the free version is pretty much non-functional because of how the discord feed is set up. I mainly use it for ideation, thumbnailing and as a jumping of points for illustrations; think, photo-bashing but… -
Re: Save foliage instances so that they are independent of static mesh and/or static mesh?
What I ended up doing for this was just using static mesh for foliage like poopipe suggested and relying on unreal to handle them appropriately. However, after testing out Packed Level Blueprints (https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.0/en-US/level-instancing-in-unreal-engine/) it looks like that might be an easy way to… -
Re: Free Alternative to Premiere Pro?
Resolve would have also been my recommendation. I very much enjoy the editing functionality in there - very similar to what I remember from Premiere - but found it quite easy to run into the limits of the free version. Video resolution for one but also applying fairly basic effects triggers the nag screen for me. Turns out… -
Re: Maya Unfold/Optimize not working
@sprunghunt Have done so, seemed to work after splitting off the hands for example. Only issue is how to find bad geo - I have ran cleanup with all settings and still doesn't show any bad/non-manifold geometry. Edit: The weird thing is, Unfold along U and V works great, just not the actual Unfold function :D Would be nice… -
Re: Need help with UV and High Poly Baking
First 2 images are most likely smoothing errors, the second 2 no idea, maybe UV issues Bottom left should be split apart for the bake, and bottom right is likely a cage thing, maybe larger cage size or you have something overlapping double there, like a hidden mesh inside Btw here is my C4D modeling palette, it has… -
Re: Houdini 14 is here!
99$ for indie guys. For freelancers it's a really good value. And if you say it's expensive, so I suppose Maya is cheap compared to it? You only need one Houdini FX license in a studio, and the rest can use Houdini Engine. I think that buying plugins for each Maya you have in a studio will be more costly, to provide the… -
Re: UDK custom object help
Bounding box is an enclosed box, so by preventing you from walking through it, it is doing exactly what it's supposed to do. From what I understand, you're trying to import the whole house as one into UDK? Use UCX instead of a bounding box for that purpose. Since you want to walk inside it, I'd assume this is planned to be…
