I tried creating my first video tutorial. More like a demonstration actually, since Wings is a very simple app. This 7 minute video shows how to use functions like AuvCharts, Cuts, and Unfolding to quickly unwrap geometry for texturing. http://www.elysiumvisions.com/home/tutorials/WingsMapXvid.zip ( 21 MB zipped ) The…
Pretty portfolio Adina, I like it a lot. There's some great potential ; ) A have few comments if you allow me: -To be able to have a complete view of your work, I have to scroll down on my poor 21" screen each new page freshly loaded to see the pics at the bottom. Since wide screens tend to be more wide-spread nowadays,…
I live 2 minutes away from Otis. Consider yourself lucky that you are moving to my favorite part of LA (to live in that I can afford) Playa del Rey is great for the following reasons. 1. not filled with tourists. 2. not filled with homeless people (LA is the homeless capital of the US unfortunately...) 3. near the beach.…
I managed to finish this up. Turns out that this does not require a new shading model: I found out a couple days ago that you can include custom shader files from a material custom node. https://forums.unrealengine.com/development-discussion/rendering/1409859-custom-hlsl-tips Also, the model only uses the mirror direction…
Read my post above and stop thinking this is just traditional octrees. I've already posted many things that would help to get around many issues, and you have to do those things I said to get around the issues, so they are likely doing just that. Sorry, but people don't get $2 million from the government on a daily basis…
UPDATE! (Sorry for the delay) It's been a while since I've updated, been working a lot on my thesis game 404Sight. Here are some updates on the enviro project! Finished the model, here is a lovely AO shot. I then dropped the geometry into Unreal, set the camera focal length to 60 (same as Destiny), and then set up a quick…
Eh... usually freelancers don't openly give out quotes. Competitors and all that. So you might get PMs about this instead. One thing that is important is the timeframe. The quote will be different if the artist has 2wks or 2 months to finish this, though you said you're not in a hurry. You might get some discount because…
Thanks a lot for the feedback on my Perlin Fire shader. If anyone else has a "it doesn't work on my card" post to make, please email me instead of posting it here. My address is ben at bencloward dot com. I didn't mean to hijack poop's cool thread on FX shaders with a bunch of trouble shooting (sorry poop!). So far it…
Awesome setup! I thought I had a good setup with 2 x 24 inch monitors and a 12wx cintique in the lower center... but access to 2 x 21" cintiqs? Amazing! Anyways, I thought I would share because you were talking about the split keyboard setup. A month ago I bought a Belkin N52te Speedpad and love it. The software that comes…
