Re: 2 sided plane lighting problem
I spent a while looking at this myself. Two sided materials just look wrong and don't work for plane heavy foliage. It doesn't matter what you do with the normals, the backface of a two sided material just always looks different. And the SSS currently in UE4 isn't very good... The normals don't seem to be the issue, I've… -
Re: Question on modelling game scenes
You are right to be concerned this is not a good approach. It's not a very efficient way of working. 1) have a look at the example scenes that come with UDK. They show how epic usually makes levels and are great learning tools. 2) read this part of the wiki:… -
Re: Why am I being charged monthly for providing free sample pack? (Gumroad)
I don't sell anything on Gumroad but i think they should only take a royalty fee like Epic ( or Unity, Spotify etc. ) does for the marketplace, paying a monthly fee even if you don't sell or earn anything doesn't make sense and you also need to pay all the taxes after receiving the money etc. It is the same story with… -
Re: [UE4] Abacus
Looking awesome so far, man! Excited to see how this one will turn out. If I had to nitpick, I'd say I'm still having a hard time gauging the scale of the scene. The stairs look far, far bigger than they do in the concept art. I think once you get some small, high-frequency details in your scene it will help out a lot, but… -
Re: UDK Material Reflection behaviour similar to Marmoset?
I'm not really sure what you are asking. If you are asking how do you make your environment map work with your gloss map, the answer is that there is no good answer. Epic failed big time in that regard. If they wanted to make amends they would add support for cubemaps as inputs to custom nodes and they would add a DDS file… -
Re: Dota 2 workshop monthly unnoficial competition #10 - November
Ootrick: thanks, you are right, big scratches would make it look a bit more "epic battle torn" I imagined arrows hit Sven-s Armor rather than big "craters" created by those huge weapons, and honestly after 200+ masks tests I think I like it the way it is, will post soon MDK: I like those chains, could you link the two… -
Re: Gnome 3D scan + Technical Writeup
Epic at GDC showed off how they captured the lighting conditions on 2 spheres, one matte and one gloss, translated that into Maya to recreate the lighting situations and baked a map off of that that helped to eliminate lighting information in the diffuse. How they did that I'm not 100% sure but they might have used HDR… -
Re: Are diplomas useful in the game art world ?
well in your case, a large ass company stood behind the o-1, but o-1 is not the usual case for a work permit, normally its h-1b, o-1 is nothing most companies give out, i only know 2, naughty dog and well as in your case blizzard, i guess companies like valve and epic and the few other really big players do that as well,… -
Re: Game remakes you'd love to see
Well though I think we still need to explore new ideas in the field before falling back on old. I do see soo many redos of the same thing for the younger audience whom they can play it off as "new" game play. So why not take the creme of the crop? But seriously, we really need to go back even farther. Nobunaga's Ambition… -
Re: E3-Nintendo
eh, that's not fair dfacto. Epic created the Gears IP, and EA and created a lot of franchises from mirror's edge, to dead space, and a lot of others. Even Halo was created in in the xbox generation. Nintendo on the other hand is still re-using things from the original nintendo console. Back then they were creative. Now…
