Hi :) So I went in to the latest challenge we had here at Polycount thinking I would actually finish it. My fiance was away for a few days, I didn't have to work over the weekend, no one was visiting us from out of town, it was perfect.... Long story short, I got caught up in playing videogames and taking some "me time"…
EDIT 06/24/16: After two weeks, it became increasingly clear to me that moving toward a rich district was not the right thing to do. So I've scrapped the idea of an Indian/Scandinavian style - not to say it will never get done, but it definitely won't be part of this pack. However, I've been hard at work polishing…
So, photography seems to be a pretty big hobby amongst most creatives, and I love talking about cameras. I'd like this thread to be about anything photography related, from advice about cameras if you're thinking about purchasing, or even discussion about lighting equipment and lighting modifiers. Some basic info: The…
So this 3D engine I'm using(and I can't change the tech sadly) seems to use lightmaps(just simple 2D dds textures which are mapped to the second UV channel in geometry) in quite a particular way for large chunks of terrain. It seems to read the alpha channel from the lightmap and use it as a multiplier to the lighting…

Hey everyone, the other day I had a really interesting and informative conversation with someone on the UE4 Devs facebook page about landscapes and I learned alot of things that I was pretty fuzzy about before that point, so I thought I'd share the conversation with you all to help spread some of this seemingly rare…
Ok, I'll do 2 posts here. This is a noobtastic GI light dome but it works. I've got another one on my work machine I can show you on Monday if this doesn't work. It's real similar though. Paste this in the script editor and hit enter: //PrerenderPyramid v0.7 - (c) Dmitry "Troydm" Geurkov int $lights; float $intensity;…
Detective Case and
Clown Bot in: The Express Killer (This is the follow up to PART 1) if you just got here, there are MAJOR SPOILERS ahead for some parts of the game. Unlike the previous game, The Express Killer was done
over the course of 3 years. With the company now established and some client
work going on, I decided I…
Hahah - I was actually reading an article where Valve were saying why PCs were the future of gaming. Personally I never ever play games on my PC as I spend too much time hunched over my workstation anyway and prefer to play something simple and arcadey/ co-operative while lying on teh sofa with my girlfriend to relax.…
I actually had this update ready about a month and a half ago, but forgot about posting it here with how busy things have been. Here it is now though :) The next update is done!
