Re: The Sandcamp / Environment Challenge #56 Project Breakdown.
Great scene and really nice breakdown.I thought the distance field blending explanation was especially clear on a somewhat complex topic.Resampling the landscape in UE4 is increasing your resolution without increasing your size so your at twice default giving you 2 vertex per meter,am I remembering that right? Also what… -
Re: [UE4] Small foliage scene
Hey I've been messing with foliage in unreal 4 lately, just like you.. How did you approach these grass "tufts"? Did you mess with the vertex normals at all? And did you do anything special with the shader.. pure foliage shader or any stuff like FuzzyShading in there? I'm not a 100% happy still with the results I'm getting… -
Re: The Arctic base
@Scifix: Oh, wow, dude, thank you! Seriously, I'm touched. Actually yes, everything in the scene has hi-poly versions, including the tiling textures this scene is largely composed from. The biomechanical creep on the floor is obviously sculpted, it tiles too, I also made a vertex color-based material for it to make its… -
Re: Essen AE-0006+ Assualt Rifle
So, once you have the font material expression generating the single channel output (as you can see with the red channel in the image) you can do anything with it. You've got the text there, you can color it (for example with vertex color), use it as the alpha channel for your decal, generate a normal using the… -
Re: Gentlemen, I give you HALO 4
Well, surely we are here to discuss game art ;) Also I don't think you can import Morph Targets and the like into game engines, which is why I mentioned it. I think they aren't exportable from their respective programs. It pretty much has to be done with bones, or some kind of baked vertex animation, at least that has been… -
Re: UDK normal map / shading issues
Well like I said, because Maya and UDK aren't synced you will get those shading errors especially at hard edges etc.. I would say make sure you smooth those bevels and/or if you don't want too much gradient on your planar surfaces which can lead to smoothing errors also, you can fillet the vertex normals. (search for MIG… -
Re: efficient model? Baking Normals
Yes exactly what I thought. That's what I did the first time around but there were artifacts along most of the edges. Splitting the pieces up fixes it but as you said it's gonna gonna be pain to texture afterwards and as far as I'm aware this increases the vertex count too. Maybe I'm being to anal about it. I'll go back to… -
Re: ZBrush, Dynamesh, and Subdivisions, Where did they go?
Please help! I have a problem with dynamesh, when you activate dynamesh on make me a strange triangles, my model has 370,000 vertex points and more I do not know what the problem is! Somehow I manage to solve the problem at the moment so that the z remesher solve all the work again but when I press the function dynamesh… -
Re: Map baking in Zbrush vs. Xnormal
From the top of my head, Xnormal lets you: Use completely different meshes for the lowpoly and highpoly (good for when the highpoly contains multiple meshes, floating geometry, etc) Specify the tangent basis of the normal map Have control over a mesh's vertex normals Bake more map types Preview maps as they bake,… -
Re: Modo 401 for game art
I have been mainly using modo 302 as a freelance artist for the last few years. I use it for modeling highpoly subd's, lowpoly, uving and painting wear/tear seams. I have written a custom .obj exporter which supports smoothing groups, vertex normals, does triangulation on the fly and more. It might take a bit to get used…
