Re: UDK lighting on normal maps
Every break you put in your UVs will show up as a seam. This is inevitable as the importer will split the vertexes everywhere there's a UV split or a change in normals. there are only two solutions. 1) split your normals for every split you have in your UVs (this means 'smoothing groups' in max and "hard edges" in maya).… -
Re: LIZARD MAN!!
Thanks a lot guys! Jeremiah: Yeah that's pretty much what I did. The problem definitely comes from welding the two islands together along the edge, cause I've done it to another character since and the same thing happened. That makes me wonder what the PROPER mirroring technique is. About the hood, first I drew some crappy… -
Re: Thinking about new software.
Hi aaronmwolford, from what I've learn from a senior artist, it's better to master 1 software at a time. Example, you try to master Max and Maya, but the time you'll learn Maya (which is more use on film industry), you can put that time on making awesome epic works. This is more for people who just graduate from school.… -
Re: Chapel Ruins: Mini environment
For once, a blog image link. I'm about 90% happy with the walls. I'm going to attempt a parallax map see if I can't get any extra pop out of the texture but if not I need to move on. Short list of what I'm going to do: -Rock formation to surround the majority of the scene -Minor light fixes -Modified pillar, MAYBE a new… -
Re: [UE4] Fantasy scene
@s1dK , @Nuclear Angel Thanks :) @Tomiajayi For games need good optimization, so that they could run on low performance PCs. Also games have much much bigger locations. But I could use any polycount, textures and settings, because I don't need optimization for now. What about marmoset/sketchfab, I can't tell you because I… -
Re: Hand Painted Environment - Blacksmith House
This is really excellent work here! The one critique that I have is that the main wooden beam that is horizontal to the ground on the main structure has an area that is pretty much black from the screen that I'm viewing on. Pretty much anything that is in the WoW universe will never actually hit true black. Having said… -
Re: Robo Hordes/Blitz Demo Unreal 3 Engine
I dont really have any clue what you guys are talking about here(No links? thanks...) But im pretty sure its safe to say you're gonna see tons and tons of games that license very expensive tech like UE3 and have absolutly no clue how to use it properly. I think what really makes Epic's UE3 games look amazing is probably… -
Re: FAQ: How u make dem mats? Hands-on mini-tuts for making materials and texturing
Hey guys...quick question I'm hoping someone may be able to answer. It looks like Maya's FBX plug-in is failing to export smoothing groups for use in UDK. I thought it was a 3D Coat setting I was missing, but If I just create a sphere in maya, smooth all the normals and export (and yeah I make sure all the right boxes are… -

I am just starting to really get into 3D now so it is nice to see some more work, I look forward to being apart of this community. Sorry I may have not made sense with my… -
Re: [URGENT] Disable Ambient Cubemap for character?
According to Epic, the Ambient Cubemap feature in the post process volume is a legacy feature that is back from a time where there was no skylight. It has no shadowing term and parts of its functionality could potentially be broken since its no longer supported. Its like with the environment intensity in the lightmass…
