Re: Texture Leveling
I've seen Riki's methodology, and for a while I started to use it. It is good for getting your textures all in the same range (you'd be surprised how many aren't), and it tends to lend itself well to 'realism'. Epic's methodology is geared towards stylization and getting the most out of their lightmaps. This isn't… -
Re: Creating Uncharted 4's Libertalia (Unity)
I began by gather a ton of reference for the level. I also took a close look at the shaders used to texture the scene. This wall seems to blend 5 different materials. That is likely to be done completely through the shader. I will have to experiment with how to achieve this. I have an idea regarding vertex blending and… -
Re: Contuinous Tower
You'll find that randomizing almost anything in Unreal, geometry-wise, is tricky, mostly due to lighting efficiency and lightbakes. I think that'll be less an issue in UE4, due to the shift to a fully deferred renderer. Now, if you kept geometry and number of meshes simple and the materials/lights/postFX simple then you… -
Re: Character : Face Hugger
@ Lee3dee - thanks, Colonial Marines looks sweet! You guys make me want to work that much harder! You should let me know if any junior level art positions open up @ Soul - Wouldn't bringing the fingers down to 3 sided jack the mapping for the normal pretty badly? It might not be too bad if I re-render it... @ Shepeiro -… -

Re: Windows 7 Beta
You just got XP64 a couple months ago. No wonder you're in bliss, you didn't get the early adopters pains :D :P. I've ran XP64 it since it came out and stopped as soon as my Vista Ultimate came in. Went through two motherboards that had crappy support for XP64 (BioStar and an MSI) and ended up on an Asus. My Lightwave and… -
Re: Master Material Starter Kit
Currently, no. There are custom shaders that can do PBR, but I haven't found any that look "perfect" yet. Many of them have artifacts and lighting issues, and also do not work with lightmaps (as far as I know this has been true since DX11 was introduced). As such, there is a bit of a quality drop when using a shader with… -
Re: Answered: AO maps blank/missing for megascan materials
Hi BIlly, Is it still possible to get AO textures for assets? I signed up for the Indie subscription so that I could use assets for my mobile AR game that cannot afford SSAO/entire lightmapped AO due to performance/memory constraints. I became a huge fan of Quixel Megascans after trying the assets shown in Unity's Book of… -

Re: What defines the next generation?
This generation wont have the mega leap the last one had. Going from painted maps to the ability to having material definition was so massive, it defined the current generation and nothing even in the future will have such a leap. From now until games look exactly photo real it will just be improvements on things that…
