Re: UT3 Map WIP thread
You ought to try making all those stairs 1 smoothing group as it looks liek you are splitting the smoothing groups and that creates more expensive assets because of the way the engine doubles the vertex count when 2 smoothing groups are next to each other to get around the fact that the engine doesnt use smoothing groups.… -
Re: Multiple positions open at Epic
Thanks for the information. I am definatly interested in working on environment resources. I will take your advice and focus on high poly environment assets for my resume. I would also like to mention that I do have experience working with pixel/vertex shaders. I have coded some shaders by hand as well as with ATI's… -
Re: fbx exporter problem
I'm working w/ richkid on this as well. In Maya, there is a simple 'Bake simulation' option under Edit > Keys. This does what we need, takes the keyframes from the spline controllers and bakes them down to the bones, ready for export to the engine. The rig is in 3ds Max and the FBX exporter won't exprt the constraints.… -
Re: trying to think around modular environments
one more question that popped into my head as I'm looking over various environment work... How does one set up the ground plane? especially if it's not flat, is there any modularity in the ground or is it all just various pieces of geo that are modeled to fit the flow of the environment using vertex blending for textures?… -
Re: Best workflow for hard surface in UE5?
The tricky part is going to be the texturing. I'm not sure how easy it'll be to texture a hi-poly model in substance designer. Epic said they were using Mari - which the film industry likes to use because it handles hi-poly models better. Has anyone done any tests in Substance painter to see how hi-poly a model it can… -
Re: Maya paint weight issue
Before you locked, did you first correct the weights that keep jumping back? Lets say a vertex is affected by A and B, each at 0.5. Locking B and trying to set A to 1.0 won't work because B is still locked at 0.5. Unless it's as you say, completely different each time and acting randomly, then we have other problems, but… -
Re: UE4 Environment - Warhammer Gothic Cathedral - Feedback and crits needed
Thanks a lot for the support!! I wanted to keep working a bit on something else than unwrapping UVs so i started working on the floor material; and get the perfect vertex painted material to leave some blood stains on the floor next to the still-to-come space dead space marines: Hope you like it, i look forward to any… -
Re: [Demastered Movie Diorama Challenge] Spirited Away [ FINISHED ]
I was working in poses of every character, I'm still working in the No Face pose, (I'll add decals to simulate the black Slime that spread of his body). I don't worked with Rigg I decided move vertex and faces to did every pose, I still need learn more for Rigging in Blender, but I think this way works and chihiro looks… -
Re: Displacement Questions
Also displacement occurs typically along normals defined by vertex normals. So any object that has split /hard edge / sharp corners / normals would typically make a split in displaced surface . Few renderers can fix it automatically to certain extent but not Octane probably . Also typically displacement is working together… -
Re: How does it all come together?
That cave is actually a bit more simple than the dark souls walls and floors to be honest, the cave is most likely 1 or several cave pieces with geometry that matches the silhouette you see there. The pipes and attachment hardware are separate meshes with their own materials. Probably a vertex blended material on the cave…
