Re: [UE4} The Journey - Two Kingdoms
Thanks alot man. To be honest there is alot of stuff I am not really happy with in the scene, but I was getting to grips with quite a few things as I went along. There is alot of experimenting with terrain shaders and distance blending which was a great learning experience, but doesn't really show through. So I was forced… -
Re: [UDK] Manor House & Courtyard
Loving how it's looking so far! Although with that said, I have to say, that with the time it took to turn on LPV and with all the crashes, wouldn't it take less time to just "auto un-wrap" into a second UV-space and use lightmapping?? This time around you can work while baking, and bakes go REALLY fast. Since the direct… -
Re: Character Models LOD
Basically, try to avoid anything that makes the silhouette drastically change between two neighbouring LODs. Deleting edges on UV border is bad news too. Tangent space normal maps can be surprisingly robust at a distance, but still try to avoid introducing really big changes in vertex normal direction. As you get to the… -
Re: A shift in the games industry
I think we'll see fewer big AAA studios as we know them today and an explosion in the tablet/online type of game market or any kind of market were there's money to be made from smaller teams with faster iteration cycles. I remember reading a post somewhere in which someone jokingly argued that by 2025 we'd only have a… -
Re: Bloated Normals ?
Little test: Make a diagonal line on a 256 map and apply to it the model, make the same line straight and apply it to the model, the difference is clear as night and day. Having straight lines means no anti-aliasing of a diagonal line, which in turn means you can smaller textures, which in turn means more resources saved.… -
Re: Argatona Station
60 Frames is important to me, it's a goal but i have a feeling with Normal spec and diffuse maps it will be around 45. And i'm going to go as low as possible on Static Mesh Lightmaps, like 256 would be for the biggest mesh in my level, MAX. And yes this is a rediculously huge level, but luckily, everything can be… -
Re: Designer Tessellation issue
The tutorial you're following has their resolution set to 2048x2048, whereas yours is only 256x256..So yours has 64x less pixels than hers, so of course yours will be way less sharp. -
Re: Modular pieces with curves
If you're making any modular system you need a consistent origin placement preferably positioned for the person creating the big picture out of the modules. Center of path is a great metric but sometimes you can do better. Say you have a piping system. Placing the origin right in the middle of the pipe seems good until you… -
Re: [WIP] [UDK] SCi Fi Robot Fac/Scene
WOW thx!! i write down all the comment about lightning and now thinking how to improve it! thx! I did wonder bout the lab too,thinking is it i should add in diff color for the contrast.:) The room isn't any point light yet and all of them is lit by emmissive lights,because i am worrying bout the resource for each point… -
Re: Optimize model for AO baking?
@EarthQuake Thank you for putting an example together! I have some follow-up questions at the end of this reply, but they are nothing major. @pior Yeah a few features in Toolbag might just leave me wanting to always bake in it. ---- I don't want to turn this into a Toolbag vs Painter baking thread but since I am doing this…
