Re: Blue Dot: A 3Lateral Showcase of MetaHuman Animator
Truly amazing stuff in the Blue Dot video. It's one of the most impressive demos I've seen. If I didn't know it was 3D in advance I would have probably been fooled into thinking it's a real human actor. Two times where he raises his eyebrows it looks a bit uncanny for a brief moment. Specifically at 0:23 and 0:32 mark in… -
Re: How can I get a mask from tile sampler?
Usually people use shape splatter nowdays . It has a companion data extract node for this. If for some reason you don't want to use shape splatter. It has very limited scale range on narrow textures 256x2048 for example . So sometimes sampler is a better choice. In such case you can use a trick of giving your inputs some… -
Re: Question about weapon polys
Most of what you've mentioned doesn't really help with the weapon polycount question. Knowing you have 32 players max is a good thing, as your worst case for 3rd person weapons is 31 hand held plus 32 thrown (grenades). You could round off to 64 onscreen weapons at once. Knowing this sort of thing is useful since what… -
Re: Texel-pixel ratio
This is right. If you think about it, you want to keep a 4:1 "pixels to game-units" ratio, so if your object is 32 units long, then you only need 32 * 4 = 128 pixels of texture. Basically, a 1024x1024 texture is far too large for this object if you want to maintain a 4:1 ratio. As you can see, if your object is only about… -
Re: LPC vol2 #01 - transformers, robots in disguise!
Hi Dave, lovely work! more on the textures: 1x 128 texture map, 256 colours. (8-bit) 1x 128 specularity map, 16 colours. (4-bit) 1x 128 alpha map, 16 colours. (4-bit) 1x 32 env map, 16 colours. (4-bit) (for use with the specularity map) An Env (environment) map is the "world" that is reflected in your specularity. The… -
Re: Black Winter Environment
well, I looked it up, and the max climb angle for valve is 45 degrees, unreal is... dunno, can't find it.:\ The maximum height, in game units, an object can be while still allowing the player to walk over it is about 18 units high in hammer and 32 in unreal. half of these (9 and 16) are usually used in stairs. 18 hammer… -

Re: Packing 4 channels question
Very true. I agree it is a smarter move and makes organisation of textures and streamlining the workflow to be more efficient. Their environments seem to perform well and looks very stunning. Also png files does not work well with this method. The alpha channel for color shows completely white when imported to ue4. TGA… -
Re: Arkadius' Sketches
There's an easier way that wil keep the volume but reduces the polycount. You model the chain for the lod 0 as always. One link is 32 faces, seven link = 224 faces. After that, when you're doing lod 1 you can delete the inner faces and close the holes, this will bring the count to 12 per link and 84 for the whole chain.…
