Re: alien eggs are reasonably natural..
thanks taylor - very good points. yea - they are somewhat detached from the enviro - but frankly, i spend very little time with this. i basically took an old project - baked and threw it into ue4. i only recently started using ue4 - from cryengine prior - so i'm looking for reasons to spend as much time as i'm able to… -
Re: Baking vs Texture based normals
Some interesting points, thanks for the replies. I probably should of mentioned before that I am primarily thinking about enviroment/architectural modelling, not that it will necessarily make a difference, but generally you're more likely to be be using some flat medium/small detail surfaces. However, as you mention, the… -
Re: [Portfolio] Chemical Alia
Your 2D stuff is fantastic Shaylyn, especially that 3rd pic with the multi-coloured braids, very very nice. the layout works for me, I know some people like to stress the "keep it all on one page" thing, but your strong in all the categories you've got up. And while it's one extra button press, it's a button i want to… -
Re: Marmoset Toolbag: User input for next major revision
Referring to B. Not too much of a big deal until you have modular assets with multiple materials that all need to be split and moved around or duplicated. Although when i spend a little time and think about this its likely more of a first impressions problem, but enough of one to have me not delving any deeper into… -
Re: Mass Effect 3 Falcon
I think the reason for the weapon not looking that good is because you made it seem like it's made of plastic while the original concept looks like some sort of metal.Mettal works with enviroment reflections and in this case blurred specular reflections and darken diffuse so the reflections are more visible.I'd also avoid… -
Re: Education - Shader Writting for Noobs?
Did you consider using any node-based shader authoring environments? I find it easier to work with, especially at first. Then after you're used to authoring with nodes its easier to transition to writing code. I'm a Maya user and later versions of Maya have the ShaderFX system which lets you create real-time shaders down… -
Re: Realtime Worlds layoffs
I actually got rejected by these guys for "not being what they wanted" in an enviro artist. That made me sad, sniff. I think they deserve my thanks though. Being let go twice in less than a year would have killed my passion to work in games. A friend of mine that is a gameplay designer noticed they were looking for one of… -
Re: Mountain Environment Project
I'm not sure the best way to do birds, but somebody put a video on Youtube using the static mesh morph target workflow to get simple animation with no joints necessary. [ame] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSHlKxqoc9s[/ame] Seems you need a script which no longer ships with UE4 but they have a link here… -
Re: WIP UE4 : Underground Club : Final Major Project
Glad you're enjoying our project so far. :) The lights were just placeholders, I have to admit I'm not very familiar with UE4 at all and this project is definitely a big challenge for me with a big learning curve. Any advice and tips are welcome. :) I'm currently trying to flesh out the environment as well as aid Kat with… -
Re: Crysis demo
[ QUOTE ] It's weird, but normally the demo ends for me when I get to the cut scene at the frozen boat. One time though, there was no-one at the rendezvous, and I jumped over the boat, saw a glimpse of the 'bad guys' and had about two minutes extra chasing it/them through the jungle. Is that normal? Has anyone else done…
