Re: UE4 x 3Ds Max for VFX
those vfx are awesome, probably a mix of many skills went into those fx. I would start with something basic eg a campfire or an explosion of sparks. Make those look convincing and have the right movement and weight. Then work your way up to using more complex techniques eg multiple particle fx and meshes in one vfx, mesh… -
Re: Why does UDK suck so bad at NMs
The rest of the model is great, it's just these Elements that are faceted when the normal map is turned on, their UV cluster rotation seems to have nothing to do with it. The issue is NOT present in 3point or Xoliul. It seems to be splitting the UVs.. but I am SURE that I have them weilded down before export. I am… -
Re: Workshop #1 - indian_boy
The biggest thing i think you can approve on here is overall accuracy compared to the reference. That front panel in the refs has a straight edge on either side, very close to the screws, but you've added a rounded section out on the side there. There also should be a gap inbetween the two main elements(sight element, and… -
Re: Firefly - Zoe's Gun - WIP (Image Heavy)
it's usually a good idea to show an hp in a material that has some specularity to it because it will expose any smoothing issues (although that doesnt look to be a problem here) and will show the edges. despite that, atm i'm pretty sure your edges are much too tight across all elements. making them chunkier will make for a… -
Re: First Attempt with Modular Environments (Blender +Unity_
Not to bump unnecessarily, but I managed to finish up some of the missing pieces I needed, so I think I just need railings and all the modular elements will be finished in terms of modelling. Next I guess I should start running through them and texturing them as need be. Also, I brought it into unity, and it looks like… -
Re: Single Texture - SciFi Corridor!
Looks great! I agree it needs props, some seemingly-unique bits of clutter. Crates would be easy to add. Cables might help to add some curvy elements, break up the hard edges. Lighting has good intensity but it's very monochromatic. You could add a colored light in the distance, inside a door or somesuch. You could also… -
Re: Bake multiple objects in Max in one map
I used to do that, but if you make changes you end up deleting the merged and remaking it. So it just sits there, hidden in case you make changes to your bake settings. Also depending on how dense the scene is and how big of an impact the floaters have doubling them up could really bog things down. If you forget they're… -
Re: [Question] Regarding Level Designers
CAD seems like an unnecessary stage added to the process. Sketching ideas down on paper is a commonly used pre-production strategy, as developers usually create a top down map of levels anyway for art and gameplay elements. This allows us to get a visualization of where things will go, what artist/designer is working on… -
Re: First Timer looking for crits on Mr Hyde mesh
Cheers Woog...........I will make ammends, and yep, I considered making the coat a separate element, but did not know how much 'body' i would need inside the coat, if you get my drift, as i am intending to get this into an engine eventually and game ready, I guessed the extra geometry would be overkill. The braces are a… -
Re: Vehicle : Hearse
Thanks for that link BradMyers82, I think that's the best most simple tutorial out there for explaining normals. Still seems an little alien to me but getting there. Started normal baking today with part of the seat. So as it stands this would be the final piece minus the zbrush work, my plan is to only do deco stuff in…
