back to the game project again. A deer hit my car a few months back on only just recovered from it. I'm picking up where I left off. with some fresh eyes on the project it's clear I need to rethink the graphics. Going to build out some 3dconcept in zbrush to see what I'm looking for in target models.
Got the system in and working. Chaos collection are currently buggy and may have to use an actor wrapper workaround to prevent crashes. Will take another solid day to put the bow tie on this system and get back to completing the game. This is the hardest system to build because it's entirely about "what is" the best…
Got some time to day to work on the project and get some of the "need to get dones" complete. One of these is a clean, well-made pipeline between Zbrush and the Chaos Mesh character process. Just got the muscle mesh template, shoot it and rips apart, in the engine and cycling correctly with zbrush. Now adding in the…
got the toon shader done and working with all the lighting. I have strategy and workflow for this game's look. Basically I have created atoon shder with all the controls I need but has no color. Instead of coloring each object I will just "paint with lights". My toon shader is designed to work with the Unreal lighting…
I'm a game and vfx vet. Paid off my student loans working at others God forsken companies. Tomorrow I'll have something more important to show than a key base mesh zbrush model for express character development.
Almost got to mention the character chaos character destruction system is almost complete. It's mainly a form and function thing of the mesh that I have to button up. I have to go through all the joints and make it like the elbow in the image. Make sure the template mesh is flawless and easy to work on in zbrush so making…
The next step is bow tie up an old code experiment I created in Unreal with Chaos. It's a simple character destruction system that is really fun and good-looking. Youtube video of it in action. Also finished up the key base char mesh in zbrush and even have the skel for it. https://youtu.be/zUZU3I5pI70?si=qFlhzeE_UVfGSGyv
