Sorry for not getting back to you guys sooner, been really busy so not too much progress since the last update. @pixelpatron Thanks! Yea I am a bit divided honestly. I want to stay true to the 'concept' but the power of UE4 makes it hard to resist trying to push it further. I keep changing the lighting with almost every…
Setting up swatches is cool and all. But the reason i suggested setting up material layers and having them compiled into folders which you then mask on and off is that you don't have to worry about painting each map separately. You avoid any mis-matching or inaccuracies between the albedo and metallic maps lining up for…
If you really have low resources you should take a look on Blender, seriously. It's really powerful software, and for game art one of the best. I use Blender since ~5 years and 3DS Max about 2 years and I still like more Blender than 3DS Max in way how this software works in modeling. It's more complicated for beginners…
Lost a few hairs of my own trying to get all of this to work while learning blender, but it's working now, so all that's left is actually making the hair look nice instead of seeing how many ways I can break blender with my sheer incompetence. I must say despite trying to cram all of this in one week - the plugin is…
I'm using the high quality renderer so I can view the normal maps in real time. I've got an i7 processor and 16gb of RAM, and everything else is pretty new, so I don't think it's due to a lack of computer power. I just don't see why duplicating an object with a normal-mapped material applied and high quality viewport mode…
I think he'd tip over... perhaps if you angle his front legs from the 'knee' down forward, sort of splayed apart a bit to take on that massive weight up front, it would also result in a slightly lowered head, and overall increase the aggressiveness of him. I'd love to see his cheek muscles as exaggerated as the rest of…
The modeling of this is really good. You have a powerful silhouette on everything almost. The chimney looks a little droopy. The texturing though needs some love. Go back and grayscale them all out (temporarily). Make sure there aren't the same value of grey surfaces next to each other. Then reintroduce your colors. You're…
It seems to me, that both yourself and the OP would be a lot better off if you'd use fewer words to try to tear me down, and more to try to build Unity up. Since you say that is what your recommendation is. Though it seems some of you guys communicate more fluently in memes than in actual English. If that is the case, then…
I believe in myself and my experiences. If god appeared to me and said whats up I'd invite him to sit down and chat. No way am I going to dedicate my life and soul to some unseen thing in a book. What if Christianity is just a tool for some evil deity's that collect the souls of believers to power there war machines. I'll…
the gen has a huge effect on defense for 1 reason. the radar, when upgraded to mk4, it lets your def and HoF see people coming in from miles away and prepare for it. also @ambershee mines work with no power, and motion sensors do sap engery, the problem is that a capper on a good route doesn't need energy right after a…
