Re: Noob Question On UE4 Dynamic Lighting
Hi Obscura. I have rebuilt the lighting but this had no effect ( but I have learnt that if I switch the mobility of a light or object to dynamic, the lightmaps will need to be re-baked to remove any outdated lighting ). I have also bumped-up the skylight intensity to 1.5. I suspect my issue was with the tree asset. I… -
Re: [UE4] The Shambles Inn
Hi all, Bit of an update. Added more to the scene that I've been wanting to include. Just yet to add the plants and outer scenery, and it should be done. Completely rebuilt the lighting too as I wasn't happy with it. @nathdevlin: Thanks for the pointers. The second link sadly no longer works though. I've tweaked the… -
Re: Choosing the right 3D computer animation software.
If you want to dig in and want the potential to make things look good, go Maya for animation. Like Animatr said, max has biped but it is limited and it hard to fight it to overcome those limitations, but it is quick and easy to use. You can also go the custom rig method in max and its tools are almost as robust as Maya but… -
Re: $1 million sports car into marshes
The Veyron itself was more of an engineering challenge than anything, in the sense of they wanted to absolutely push the limits, but make it a comfortable drive. The guy responsible for the transmission said it was the hardest thing he'd ever designed, and he builds Formula 1 drivetrains; thing is, those are designed to… -
Re: Autodesk acquires Skymatter
[ QUOTE ] I want to take stuff from Max to Maya to Mudbox to Motionbuilder cleanly. [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] It'd also be nice if some things like baking of normal maps behaved the same in Max, Maya, and Mudbox. [/ QUOTE ] Damn straight. Max needs to be rebuilt from the ground up, in a serious way. I love the app, but it's… -
Re: Shoulder rigging
+1 to monster respond... try using the prebuild shoulder twist bone, if that solve your issue( it should) try using custom shoulder twist bone instead. The biped twist bone are kinda stupid and some game engine don't like them + you can't really control them. Using a lookat + 2 dummy/point gives the animator more control… -
Re: Two Sky spheres in a level (UE4)
Hi, sorry for bumping up an older thread. Had to stop using game engines for a while. Turns out the two sky sphere for ue4 doesn't work after lighting is rebuilt. Is there a way one can tell the engine to use one sky sphere for lighting the level and use one to just be directly visible with no lighting effects and remains… -
Re: Star Wars Mania: Docking Bay 94
Like Tor said, interested to hear your idea of how you are going to go about texturing the Falcon with that tri count? Seems like a lot of materials and unwrapping work when a lot of that detail could potentially be baked or rebuilt with a few large atlas texture sheets instead of doing everything unique. As for scale,… -
Re: Leadwerks engine sample level design: The Zone
Thanks for the tip SHEPEIRO! My new i7 system is now rebuilt, and I'm getting ready to dive back into the level design after having to get some errors with the Leadwerks editor patched. For now, I have a few overview images of how things are looking at the moment, and some updated images of Bober Station. I went back and… -
Re: Shaolin Monk(ish) character
Thanks for the comments. I lengthened both upper and lower parts of the arms, rebuilt the pectoral and also raised the lower part of it. I said shaolin monk(ish) as that is the closest thing I could think of to what is in my head hehe, I've still not decided if he is going to be oriental or not. I didn't put too much…
