You need to use custom lighting for that, also, don't forget to Constant Clamp the Lambert term ;P I remember asking the same question, and Jordan (one of them Epic artist peeps) told me in the thread that using Diffuse directly is showing off all the information, even those you don't need since it's already the diffuse…
You need to work on the trees to get them to feel more like jungle trees, don't forget vines and jungle ivy to spread around in your scene to make it more lush. I think scale is a big issue here as well, place something that will show how big a player will be. Going from the screenshot it screams : EPIC! , yours..not so…
Swizzle: Could you link to that thread? I recently sent a letter of epic proportions to the devs to see about collaborating with outsiders on making the interface more outsider-friendly. Or more specifically: more user-friendly for those who don't like the blender-interface, and who are already experienced with the…
Thanks for all the comments, guys. All sound advice and I really appreciate all of them. I haven't done much on the fish, but here's the most recent render: Big version. Erik and Jack: These are good tips. However, I'm going to try some renders where I use a falloff based on highlights to blend in a metallic texture. Oh,…
Thanks for the input. As for the "quick demo" we are making a product to promote our company. We have a great deal of experience programming here but very little 3d experience (just two hobyists). However for the demo (though we should call in a promo) we want to integrate some back end technologies into a fun platform;…
ah this came out great... good to see it finished. And as gauss said, excellent choice for a modeling project. I have but one suggestion, just a random thought that occured to me when I saw that sexy beauty render. The model doesn't seem to convey the epic/ancient feel quite as well as the structure it's based on. So I…

I saw the vid earlier today and thought the visuals looked really nice, then out of nowhere I hear Vadar's breathing and thought... NO FUCKING WAY... WTF! Epic fail! Jesse, you ask how can some of us not like it? You're a Star Wars nut, you'd probably eat Star Wars Jedi Astro Pop cereal if such a thing existed, only…
I don't think that game uses normal mapping, if they do it must be extremely subtle. The game has great art, though I wish the environments would've been closer to the insanely epic environment concepts they've pimped. I also wish they would vary up the human characters' proportions. A warrior woman should be a lot more…
Hello, So I'm new to using Unreal Engine. I've never had to work in it before, but my class is requiring it and my teacher hasn't given me responses. The scene I've put together uses the free Infinity Blade assets from the Epic Store. I've built my scene and now I'm supposed to light it. I dropped Exponential Height Fog…
