Re: "Overwatch HQ" - Long-Term Environment Working Thread [UE4]
(Big version) As I mentioned before, in the past a lot of my personal 'for fun' work has been dioramas or prop collections. My goal with OWHQ has been to produce a shippable, professional, functioning environment, with the emphasis on looks first (I'm an artist after all) but design a close second. For lack of a cooler… -
Re: "Overwatch HQ" - Long-Term Environment Working Thread [UE4]
So! It's been a bit of a while, but don't take that to mean I've been slackin' or that I'm not still dead-bloody-set on finishing this beast.

@Turks Thanks! So I'm not sure if this is the best way or even the standard way, but I do a little bit of both. By default, UE4 will import an asset with its pivot point at Maya's origin. If I'm exporting a prop that is bespoke or if it's a prop that I'll want to use in multiple places (boxes for example) then I have a… -
Re: "Overwatch HQ" - Long-Term Environment Working Thread [UE4]
( @[HP] )Getting textures and materials tuned and looking right has been a challenge. I'd love to blame it on the engine and say "Unreal must just work differently from the Overwatch engine" but that's a huge cop-out and I don't actually believe it besides. That said, Unreal IS super happy to just take metals and chrome…
