Re: Working in the USA..
You're a Canadian, so the easiest route is the NAFTA visa. TN-Visa. http://www.canadiansinusa.com/Working-in-the-US/tn-visa.html (We are listed under Graphic Designer) The O-Visa was used by a lot of companies for anyone that wrote a Vertex article, or was a finalist in Dominance war (This avenue is being heavily cracked… -
Re: [UE4] Alley Environment + Substance Materials
Just a quick update. I have been playing around with materials, and getting a better idea for how i want the floor to look. I am focusing on this angle to take the final render from, so am looking at having low frequency detail areas on the ground, as the walls currently have a lot of detail in the amount of bricks. I will… -
Re: Handplane - GhostDetector
Update: Baked Normal maps for testing Results + things to do: * Some waviness in the floaters (possibly due to cage?) * Figure out how to fix smoothing errors (?) on the Tangent Space Maps * Re-mesh the inner side of the base due to strange offest (replace with floater) * Add some floaters where studs intersect * Vertex… -
Re: maya 2009 transfer maps
thanks for the reply mop , it really helped :) ok i fixed the dodgy bake by increasing the envelope distance and some other minor twekage, but the issue im running into is the artifacts really dont want to go , i tried everything, from normalizing normals, locking/unlocking normals , welding vertex incase there were dirty… -
Re: Creating my first environment in UE4. Some questions!
'Stylized' covers a broad range of visual styles. Some stylized games will use a full range of maps, including normals while others will use a color map only. Or maybe no texture at all and vertex colors instead. I suggest you find one or two (max) games that have a visual style you'd like to emulate. Then you can give… -
Re: Is pipelineIO still prefered for Modo 801?
for me it's just a preference as I was using 601, exploding meshs & xnormal. The new cage baking is great (but it is trial & error because you can't see the low poly mesh once it's active) and now you can manipulate vertex normal vectors :poly121: add Farfarer's tools (waiting patently on his uv tool kit) with the new… -
Re: Trying to get rid of jagged edges
your uv layout it awful. you have to break up your uv's into more shells and get as much coverage as you can. and also make sure that your unwrapping has even coverage for all the polygons. here is what i would suggest. 1) redo your uvs. break the sleeves off apply smooth/unwrap. and refit all the pieces to your uv space.… -
Re: [UE4] Medieval Town (Improvement)
Texture Update. Spent this week adding textures to my modular pieces! Added concrete/plaster and a pretty bad attempt at a "parallax interior". Definitely just a first passes for these materials at the moment but they're good enough to show what im going for in the level. Later on I'll add vertex painting for my concrete… -
Re: Ancient Modular Wall
Well modular walls are usually really low poly, usually the reason you can bump them up is so that you can vertex paint on the surface to break up the tiling base with damange and dirt. In terms of the UDK, you can do alot of tricks with modular bricks like this, it takes a bit of work to paint a heightmap in unless you've… -
Re: Re-topology is there anything on the horizon?
Whoops, I never got a reply notification. Existing UVs will be maintained, no worries there. In 2.0 we're writing directly to Blender's edit mesh, using the BMesh API. The one thing that likely won't be supported is translating Vertex location changes over to the UVs while modifying via RetopoFlow. It's likely possible…
