Re: Spline/Surface modeling utility and when to use ?
Almost everything I make starts with splines. You'll have to go back a few years (like 15) to find decent tutorials - The main thing for me is to stick to corner and smooth points wherever possible - if you need a more specific curve, add points. Bezier handles are difficult to manipulate explicitly (can't be… -
Re: [UE4] Making Ships - Sails of War
As planned I have moved on to the next ship and now that the pipeline is set up I feel like this one is going a bit quicker than the one before. The next ship is the smallest we will see in-game. A naval cutter mostly styled after the French privateer "Le Renard". I am not too concerned about making it 100% the same, this… -

Re: THRONE ROOM - Throne Among the Trees - bcarter
Sorry for the lack of response Lilith! Thank you for your input. Well this contest has come and gone so fast and as it does life has gotten in the way a little bit. There's a pretty low chance I'll be able to finish by the deadline, but let's see how far we get. I had a lot of trouble deciding what kind of "stuff" should… -
Re: How do you motivate small, remote, rev-share teams?
Thanks guys, I totally agree and get it. That is a good point about not being "buddy-buddy", and yet it really only works if people on the team get that. Sometimes people will submit some work, and it will be like a really rough first pass at a thing, and they just say "I'm finished." So I tactfully mention that it's good… -
Re: Sci Fi Corner Project
It's very generic - you could do so much more with the transport ship premise. What are the black rectangle parts there for? How would future builders go about assembling the corridors? How do you replace broken parts (especially the lamps)? How do they move whatever they're transporting through that corridor? Right now… -
Re: FEEDBACK - Gun fire Animation
Some of my original critique still applies, mainly about the twinning of the arms. I can see that you're adding more breakdowns to smooth out the action. Since it's not super different that the previous versions, you'll have to let me know what specifically you want critique on, otherwise keep charging ahead. If you're… -
Re: Low Poly Elephant project (infant stage) looking for help
Well, right off the bat, the proportions of the drawing are quite off. The reference is a much more stocky, chunky animal. Yours has a rather elongated body. As for basic tips on lowpoly: -silhouette above everything. I usually assign a flat color material, Like this, and then check for visible angles. -a blockout would be… -
Re: [CE3] Beach Bar Environment
Computron, your wish is my command! Been working on some more atmospheric stuff over the past few days, trying to nail that slightly overexposed, just past midday, feel. Also added in a few blockout surfboard textures for a bit of colour. I really need to stop putting off detailing the bar! Though to be honest, I am… -
Re: Do quads matter when detaching to element?
There's no wasted verts there if you're thinking there are faces underneath. Check out the 3rd pic I posted of the parts moved out. Yep we're going with the diffuse, spec, etc with dynamic lighting. Were designing the level based on pc performance. I'm trying to get this model done cause I have the blockout of the main…
