Re: Unreal Engine 4
Has anyone figured out how to organize the Scene Outliner? Is there a node/object similar to game_object in unity that you can use to parent objects under and tidy up the outliner? So far I found the note actor and tried using that as a parent container. The meshes parented under it still display when you run the game so… -
Re: Unreal Engine 4
Thanks! Here is the difference when plugging in a constant node into the material editor for the spec in UNLIT mode. -
Re: Unreal Engine 4
Hey is there any way I can change the buffer visualization to show smoothness instead of roughness? In my material I have a 1- node right before my map is plugged in so I'm always working with smoothness because I find it more intuitive but when I use the view mode its backwards from what I'm used to and its really… -
Re: Unreal Engine 4
Yup. So you either use Kismet or code in C++. Also their blueprint system is a great idea...being able to have kismet on individual objects (another similarity to Unity) Speaking of which, I couldn't resist: Of course I fiddled with the Unity UI to make it more closely match the UE4 interface...and the node editor is an… -
Re: Unreal Engine 4
Ditto, this is what I'm curious about as well. I watched hourences' video and saw the other top down game somebody internal made in their free time but is it really possible to make a finished game without it or is it more of a prototype builder like most node based programming things I've used? I'll probably just have to… -
Re: Unreal Engine 4
Well, what do you want to know? They're basically just a bunch of nodes compressed into one custom node. The main difference between making/using a material function to doing everything in one material is the use of functioninput nodes for values you want to control (and then plugging parameters into the inputs).… -
Re: Unreal Engine 4
4.8 is released. Notable changes for us art peeps: * Substance plugin officially supported * Screen-space reflections now available for glass and water * Better depth of field, tone mapping, and color grading available. Must be enabled with the console command r.TonemapperFilm 1 (not sure if this can be done during editor… -
Re: Unreal Engine 4
So what you guys are saying is Unreal needs a Wacom hand-drawn node editor that will automatically create the right nodes from handwriting recognition. :poly121::thumbup: -
Re: Unreal Engine 4
Yeah, there were material functions in UDK as well but it seems they're much more extensively used in UE4. Going through the Effects Cave they're used all over the place. I don't know if there's a performance reason or if it's mostly to keep the nodes clean and reusable. Material functions let you set up a sequence of… -
Re: Unreal Engine 4
Hey guys, I have an issue I'm hoping someone can help me out with: I'm trying to create a volumetric light (This but in UE4) for the first time. Here are pics of my current set-up: Now, if I keep going with the tutorial and try to add the falloff for when you would be below the texture, I get an even stranger result: Am I…
