Re: Unreal Cascade: Spawn Location Falloff
That would be cool if you could take a look at it, maybe post an example. I'm trying to learn all this but I have several other things going on the project right now and havn't had time to really dive into it yet. Some examples would expedite that process greatly :) EDIT: OH!, I didn't see your edit at first, the image… -
Braided river, streams ?
Does anyone knows a terrain tools or just a simple way to generate them ? Looking physically accurate more or less? So far whatever terrain generator I tried , Gaea and such are only capable to do roots like looking errosion while I need more like a dried river bad with intertwined streams. Generative AI seems useless for… -
Re: Current Industry Standard workflow for 3D artists??
To echo some of the above : - Be excellent at creating highpoly models, both sculpted and as manually crafted geo - Be excellent at creating ingame meshes - Be excellent at UVs and baking. - Also pick a 3D CAD software like Fusion, Moi3D or Plasticity. And then things will vary from one project to another. Honestly not… -
Re: A short explanation about custom vertex normals (tutorial)
Hey guys! I try to answer to every of you, and to share my opinion now. Wiki - I'm also using this for a long while now, when I don't have exact limits. I use this, and many support loops with my personal projects, and to be honest, now I'm not trying to get it good with smoothing splits... Your results are showing the… -
Re: Hitting Character Likeliness ?
You might consider yourself to be in good company if you are also unknowingly/knowingly idealizing yer ego via yer work. ( depending on your taste in artists ) A lot of famous artists are accused of secretly painting themselves in all their works ( the Mona Lisa among many other DaVinci paintings are accused of being… -
Re: tips and techniques for PBR metal
Metal is actually pretty easy to do with PBR. Since metals generally reflect almost 100% of light that hits them, you simply need to make your specular color the final color of reflections you'd like to see. For example, you'd want a light pinkish color for clean copper, or a bright desaturated yellow for most types of… -
Re: Answered: Questionable albedo on certain textures
AO in most engines is interpolated based on direct lighting. In UE4 AO does not affect materials in direct lighting, Im not familiar enough with other engines but this is a pretty standard approach. That being said ambient occlusion in general is a fake phenomena we apply to allow materials to have small frequency specific… -
Re: interior room
In that case the bronze material needs better definition. Try to get more yellow into the specular and increase the strength. The example you gave is not the strongest and most common. Leaning more towards these examples will not confuse the viewer leading to misinterpretation.… -
Re: Resurrection of Evil goes to HL2
According to a few people at iD they had the grabber in as a fun experiment during development but decided that it was too gimmicky and useless to be put into a serious game. That was long before there was talk about a gravity gun in HL2. Besides, the first gravity gun was long before HL2, a HL mod called Surprise had one,… -
Re: Metal Specular Maps - Your Methods
[ QUOTE ] We actually have a program that lets you paint on it to "comb" the surface, i'de show some examples but its all NDA stuff, sorry. [/ QUOTE ] So do you have an example then where the direction does change direction? This one looks like it's just following the blurred black and white noise around a horizontal axis…
