Re: Environmental Artist/Texture Artist looking for work
Well, first, try to build a proper website to present your work. 2nd, you consider yourself as a level designer, but from what I see, it's mostly props modeling. 3nd, you have TOO much stuff to show! You SHOULD prioritize quality over quantity. Better to have less content to show with epic quality than showing a lot of… -
Re: Normal map banding with specific lossless formats
UE4 will compress down to a 8 bits with BC5 or DXT. It is better to bake at 16 bit and make sure there's dithering instead of stepping when it is converted to 8 bits. If you want perfect glossy reflections, controlling the shading and using plenty of geometry will help. Epic added some extra normal precision settings for… -
Re: [UDK] Cosy post-apocalyptic hideout
Yeah, maybe mask it randomly, with a noise texture that you scale up a lot. And on top of that add some offset with noise to the UV, just a little. When you'r zoomed out it feels kind of constructed with those lines :) You should mix the grass with some dead straws and maybe take down the density. UDK grass SHOULD look… -
Re: Unreal Material HELP for Eyes with refraction
In the reality, using double mesh with transparency like this is an expensive and bad practice. Right, you only make little amount of expensive pixels, but still, this is very inefficient. This effect can be easily emulated using a parallax kind of approach. Epic did the same in the digital human demos and in Paragon. I… -
Re: [UE4] Korath: The Witcher Saga Inspired Environment
I'm glad you like it :) I started learning Zbrush back in January this year and slowly putting it together in UDK. After 4 months of ups and downs I switched to UE4 and put everything together in 2 months :p Thanks man! The good news is Epic has contacted me already and I will receive details about UE4 marketplace… -
Re: Starfighter Inc. - Creating Next-gen Spaceships
Thanks! Yeah we have been working on creating a shader for a while and have been talking to Epic about implementing something that might help us, to our amazement a few patches back they actually released this integration so you can layer texture types ontop of each other. It's very easy not with a little shader work to… -
Re: How to download ver 4.19.1 ? time sensitive
Epic's policy regarding releases is that patch releases like 4.20 -> 4.20.1 can fix bugs but cannot change class interfaces or functionality. This means that it's almost always safe (and usually a good idea) to use the newest patch for a given release. So in short: a version release change, like 4.19 -> 4.20 may require… -
Re: New to the Forum and new to the Industry, here's some stuff!
All of those threads you listed have pages and pages of people doing exactly what I said they'd do to the "inspired" artist. They're all just saying how great it is. Which again, is deserved, because the art is very good. But those guys already know they're good because they're working at Epic. So I'm not really sure what… -
Re: Aloy Overwatch Style
ArNavart: Totally agree about the hands. I haven't really touched those as of yet. I will definitely be sculpting the body stuff soon. I think the eyebrows are probably drawing attention cuz of the dark color as well but I will play with thickness too. Thanks! Edrice: Scaling up the necklace balls is on my to-do list. i… -
Re: Grand Theft Auto IV Chat
Some of the sales figures are starting to come in. Truly epic. Halo3 first day sales topped at 266,000 units. Monumental. GTAIV? 335,000 - OVER 100,000 more than Halo3 - just insane, guys. It also looks to shatter the previous record for first-week sales (currently held by GTA:SanAndreas at 677,000 units). GTAIV just came…
