Re: Uncharted 4
Not the cards the foliage clumps/instances. But yes mostly placed by hand. We have some tools that help propagate by using vertex information and you can set layers and percentage of different clump model groups. This is useful for larger areas. But since we wanted direct control in most cases it was not used as much. We… -
Re: Posing Zbrush model
Hmm strange, it should work. I'm guessing the vertex order was changed at some point, causing the problems back in zbrush. When you export, make sure you have Groups unselected (tools>export>), if you have assigned polygroups to your model then exporting it would cause it to be split into pieces. Reconnecting these would… -
Re: Untitled [WIP] - Critique appreciated
@Necrodark hi there, thank you man >how are you handling the bakes on this scene It's pretty much every asset in this scene using default vertex normals, i using classic workflow for texturing with baking on hard edges and also with uv-cuts on hard edges, thats all i guess hope that's what you had needed, anyway feel free… -
Re: Sketchbook: Eric Chadwick
Thanks Joe! Here's a new gif to share. Pretty simple effect, but the fx artist was too busy so I jumped in. We avoid particles if possible, since emitters are pretty expensive. The texture's red channel is the flame pattern, green is the sparks, and blue is the distortion. Though I might also use the blue for smoke later.… -
Re: Crumbling Hospital WIP
Your definitely going to want to use a tiling texture. You could use vertex painting, but just having a decal sheet with these decals is an option as well. Vertex painting is going to be a little more expensive performance wise, and your going to be a little less flexible with how it looks. Your going to be restricted to… -
Re: 3DS Max Make Planar to existing Geo
Over complicating it, if I'm right about what you want? This is actually pretty easy with the basic scale tool if so. Go to the side view. It looks kinda like the top of a car, so if that's what it is, or if you can imagine it like that, go to the side view, go into vertex level and select the two at a time, then scale… -
Re: Blender Edit Mode Performance
Yeah, a screenshot of the UI or preferentially a video would help to understand what's happening and what's unacceptable performance for you. Here for example I'm on a scene with 2m tris and take barely a second to switch to edit mode on a 700k object on my old computer - and I'm okay with that -, while it can take over 3s… -
Re: Topology showing on bakes - need help!
It's possible also to fix all such issues by editing vertex normals only. Face weighting, projecting from hi res or just from a front perfectly flat plane in this case or just manually . Sometimes just edge rotating could help. I would try this first before adding redundant vertexes or edge loops. Make a test polished… -
Re: CAD Export Topology issues
"I need this model render ready. Is there way to fix this while exporting out from the cad software?" If you are able to get exports in a format that supports explicit vertex normals, e.g. fbx if the CAD software or converter can write the normals correctly, there's a chance minor inconsistencies like that won't show up in… -
Re: CGMA - Organic World Building in UE4 progress
In week 5 we focused on rocks and watched some techniques to take them to the next level using shaders. We focused on adding more details to the rocks, work on the slope vector shader, mesh vert displacement shader and Parallax / Bump offset shader. Here is how my scene looked in week 5: The slope vector shader really adds…
