Hey All. What methods does everyone use for preparing a blank slate for a new project in UE4? with regards to Post Process settings, .ini file changes or any other settings pre-setup. I used to disable Auto Exposure to remove the inconsistency of the lighting in the scene but I have come across problems with tweaking the…
Hi all, I'm new to the polycount forum - the quantity and quality of information/tutorials available here is great! Loving it! I've been working in 3D in the film industry for a few years so I know my way around 3D packages but have a few questions regarding shading and texturing and how these areas translate into games,…
This is a really interesting concept with a lot of potential for environmental storytelling. (Broken items are abandoned then made useful again as the branches grow through them, branches continue to grow and strengthen the items as the player levels up, etc.) As far as the sculpting goes: the branches and roots that weave…
Personally I still check out the forum from time to time, I owe it (you all) and its wiki a lot. It's sad to see it right now though, I think it represents the decaying state of the industry. I hope we get to see better days again, this place makes me appreciate having a sense of community around 3D art. Seeing this thread…
Work In Progress (WIP) An artist uploads images and text periodically as they work on a new piece of art. They ask viewers for critique: commentary on what is working well versus what needs improvement. The artist uses this feedback to improve their artwork, and post the next in-progress image. This is repeated until the…
Ancient god 216 triangles, texture size 256px Model I made and animated a while ago. I painted it on blender and then processed the texture with SLG_img2pix for that crispy look, it's an amazing free tool I really recommend it for editing retro textures or making them.
Hi! I think the non-rat elements look a bit undefined/ un-descript and the overall creature shape is a bit too artificial. The surfaces look untextured. To help with direction when making design decisions, you could pick an existing game and make the creature fit within the world and visual style. I too would also ask what…
This week I focused primarily on the texturing process and the initial scene setup in Unreal Engine. I completed the full texturing pass on my model, making sure all materials were properly created and applied to achieve a consistent and realistic look across the asset. I paid attention to detail in the surface quality to…
Hey guys, I was just wondering if there was any way in a Post Process to compute the position in 3D space of each pixel? My first thought was to take the Camera position and add to it the Camera vector multiplied by the value in the depth buffer. But I soon realized that by that stage of the rendering process the camera is…
Tons of progress this week!* split out input and rendering into different loops. input is captured at 1000hz, and rendering happens at monitor * refresh rate. * caching input to handle the above ^^ * brush presets! * layers! * compute shader compositor! * svg icon rendering to atlas (yet to be used) * progress on the…
