So i have always wondered
In video games, how do artist create the particle effects in the game? Lets say dota 2 for example, the characters have glow/flame effects on the heros, Or just the spells in general. How are all these made and placed on the characters? Are the spells separate models created inside the 3D software, or are they made inside… -
I want to coin a phrase
"At the expense of a flaming crate" In game development, when a feature that would be fun to have, but not very important, is removed so another feature that's more important can take it's place. I thought it up when watching a video showing some early progress of Thief: The Dark Project. Apperently, in the early stages,… -
Hanging clothing in games
Dear Polycount.I sort of asked this already on Discord, but figured I should frame my question in a more organized manner. The question is: what is the better (or more "reasonable" for an indie team) approach to animating hanging clothing in UE5?Cloth sim, bones, something else?.. Someone asked me to make a character for… -
UDK Material Instance Appears Corrupt
Hey Polycount! I feel a little silly asking for help with such a seemingly trivial problem, but here goes. I have created a lens flare that uses a separate MI (material instance) for each respective lens flare sprite. Everything was working fine until I started assigning the MIs to MI actors. For the first two MIs I had no… -
[3DSMax] Volume Select Modifier + Animated Object = random
Dear polycount community, I am currently experimenting with pushing an animated box over a plane. The ultimate goal would be to have all of the faces inside have a different material ID. For this I set up my plane as follows: (order is like in the max modifier panel) [Material ID] (<- set to 2) [Volume Select] (<- set to… -
"Smile, you sonofab..."
"Model goes in the frame buffer, you go in the frame buffer. Shark's in the frame buffer. Our shark." So I took a break from the desert environment I've been working on and cranked out this bad boy. I saw some pictures a while back of Great Whites jumping clear out of the water when striking prey, and they had some very… -
Re: Tree House
I really think you should ditch your roof treatment on the inside of your tree house, all your concepts (of the interior) you showed, visually describe exposed support beams and you can see the underside of the roof, it's a lot more visually interesting (stronger silhouette), and gives the structure more Believability. Why… -

Re: THRONE ROOM- The Forest Throne- si-man
I also put together a quick giff to illustrate how the dynamic light in the scene would bring the space to life through the flickering flames and light coming throught the water falling between the arches. Oh yeah! the idea was that the Forest Throne was carved into a cliff side, with a water fall running behind the arched… -
Re: Online and Offline personality
I'm pretty sure I am exactly the same online as offline. Occasionly I'll 'flame' someone a bit harshly online, but if I read my post back a few minutes later, I often edit out the profanities - why be a dick? I've tried creating throwaway accounts for other online communities before, but I always end up posting as myself.…
