@DerRazputin- I'll be baking fiber mesh to cards, Im going to try and replicate Endomis technique: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=125346&page=4 @Mitchell Sturtevant- I mask off areas of the face and made a noisemaker layer with tweaked setting based off the pores and skin detail of the different area of…
Good work. Your trees look a bit odd atm, like a ball of green on the end of a stick. Think about the silhouette of a tree, or more importantly, the silhouette of the type of tree that you're trying to replicate. Your branch placement at the moment is rather like a palm tree. All bunched together right at the top. Also, do…
Update: Tried a couple of different markings in the wood. Had a hard time trying to replicate the angles(?) of the surface of the wood (pointed in picture below) I tried making a screen layer and used a hard brush to make a sharp angled area, which is then highlighted with another screen layer, but it just looked out of…
Thank you :) There's some things I haven't been able to replicate from Unity. For example, in Unity you can just leave normal map unassigned and it will just use the model's normals. This isn't the case in my shader template, although there ARE two techniques - one normal mapped, and one that is NOT normal mapped - to deal…
Thanks guys ! =) bjporter : Yes, I am using speedtree to create the vegetation but it's hand made. I do not take the assets from the library. One year ago when I was learning speedtree, I did open the trees from the library to looks how they made it and learn from it. I did also look at some scenes on UE4 marketplace to…
For your shadow problem- try positioning the light source somewhere closer to the window and not at infinity like the sun. I rewatched that clip and it looks like they shot in a studio without any natural light. Area lights cast softer shadows on objects they are close to and sharper shadows on objects farther away. For…
I first heard this two nights ago in my car, and turned it up. I like the song, but I don't see many qualities to it that would allow it to age well. As much as Korn tries to set themselves apart from everyone else, I believe there time is getting short. I do respect them for being Korn, and not one of the thousands of…
What I mean is the Subject matter, the photo itself is messy and dont have any defined shapes, which makes it a harder to try to paint and replicate. for example if you are struggeling with perspective, its hard enough to draw just a bunch of simple geometric objects right, taking on something like this is simply overkill.…
Yep as far as I understand it China = Collectivism. It's the group and its goals that matter not the individual. Individualism is reserved for people in high places but is a weakness in the lowly public. "Strength through unity" heh. Individualism as prized and a staple of western art just doesn't wash with the culture.…
The wrinkles don't look too convincing, but I otherwise love the design - I'm a sucker for fedoras and trench coats . I did one such coat about a year ago, maybe it can help you with your wrinkles, here. The best thing you can do is to look at plenty of reference and I'm sure you will be able to find lots of relevant…
