Re: Lighting Dynamic Objects properly?
I thought you were onto something here, since the problem area is beneath the level. So I just moved everything somewhere it wouldn't recieve shadows from my level, while it generally became brighter, it stilll appeared unlit (only light environment, no speculars and normals affected) Hmm, fair enough. I tried all of… -
Re: Miss Swift head mesh (Critique Requested)
For likeliness you want to use a sculpting application like Zbrush or Mudbox (or blender). Rather than box modelling, try starting with a generic bust like Zbro's Bust Base Mesh: [ame=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fKhOEL4FIc"]Bust Base Mesh[/ame] ...or another generic base mesh from the Polycount wiki. For likeliness… -
Re: issue in marmoset when using normal map
I cant shake off the feeling that this has everything to do with Marmoset's relation to smoothing groups. Whenever your nmap is being generated in xnormal and Max, the lowpoly's own smoothing is taken into account; the nmap is crafted to the lowpoly smoothing that is there at the time of render. I've never used Marmoset,… -
Re: Game Creation Process
Generally the design comes first, you get the broad strokes down with simple terrain and place holders (called either white or grey boxing) These are usually untextured but most of the game play is set up and partially working so it can be play tested. At this point the art team is working on assets and might be working up… -
Re: QUAKE 4 custom Models
Awesome DH! KDR_11k, I didn't use the Q4 normal map generator because I have a lot of body parts that overlap and I thought that these wouldn't render out very well. In max I split up the high- and low poly model in different parts that I created the normal maps from separately. And even that way I had to make a lot of… -
Re: [WIP] MGS-Styled Compound Environment
I created some trim sheets for the walls and some structural assets along with some simple modular pieces. Created a simple decal generator for the floor decals. General shifting around of assets and adding simple placeholder models. Starting to work on some walls and details using the trim sheets. I don't like how flat… -
Re: Apple Silicone / Metal Support
if you're working remote then it doesn't matter what machine you carry around with you does it? .. It's not written anywhere official cos Epic aren't going to admit to it. but yes - thats basically the size of it. You find yourself unable to do things (eg build HLODS, package world partition with nanite landscapes)… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly Environment Art Challenge | November - December (93)
Initial high poly of the truck. Needs work still, but I'm okay with how the shape in general is looking. Hopefully I can bring back some of the squashy dynamism with a bit of deformation after-the-fact, but for ease of modeling I'm keeping things symmetrical and regular for now. -
Re: taking a class online and I am questioning the teachers topology & edge flow
I can't speak for everyone, but the sub-D stage is the mid-point. I use that mesh to generate the base high poly, and LOD0 by removing unnecessary verts/edges. Unreal generates usable LODs 99% of the time. -
Re: Sketchbook: InnCurett
I've also been working on feathers for my Utahraptor model that I made last year, as I never got around to it due to time constraints because the original project was part of a second year game art assignment. I am using Xgen to generate the feathers, but the feathers on the arm were placed as regular hair cards. I also…
