Re: PM's Environment studies...
I haven't tried too much of modular pieces in UT3, but aren't, say, 16 meshes with 256 shadowmaps are as heavy on memory and calculations as 1 mesh with 1024 shadowmap? In any case, for this building a shadowmap can be even 1024. Ideally 2048, but it may come out not bad with 1024. For even better result UVs for shadow map… -
Re: My enviornment thread
You're getting some real contradictory shapes in the mesh due to your normal map. There are soft bit which look really nice, then there are those hard edge bits which almost look like they are inverted polys from certain angles. The mesh itself looks very unnatural and very plain on its own. In nfrrtycmplx's post, he… -
Re: [WIP] Yawning Portal Battlemap UE4 - PIC Heavy
Small update, started to work on the main wall piece. Combination of Clay Tubes brush and Trim Dynamic with a hard square alpha to chip away at the stones. While I elected to make the floor a single element due to its complex shape, I wanted to explore some modular design features where possible. The wall is just a simple… -
Re: Modeling a Character with Changing Body Parts
http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/SkankerzeroModularCharacterSystem I made some modular characters based from this ^^^. There's more than one way to set things up in engine. In my case, all characters existed in a single fbx and we used script to disable and enable different parts. Dunno is this is the most performant method,… -
Re: [UE4] SciFi Deck
Correct me if I'm wrong, what I'm guessing is that you create and define these materials separately on the box shapes with Substance. Then you place the materials in the scene as tiles as opposed to making textures individually onto each meshes UV layout? I'm interested in the workflow as I'm preparing to do an environment… -
Re: How To Get Faster... Faster?
Kwramm pretty much nailed it on the head. The biggest trick to getting things done fast is to know where to focus your effort and add detail, and where not to. When your on a deadline, you learn that you just have to let those things go and focus on the details that are most prevalent and important. Also, specifically when… -
Re: What makes a good Action/Adventure RPG?
True enough. But, I think, for a lot of people the difference between a shitty ARPG and a decent one is starting with having the basics implemented properly. Common complaints are collisions and hitboxes that don't work right, controls that feel shit, cameras that hate the player, pathing that goes bonkers, etc. So even if… -
Re: Lunar Industries - Sarang Base [Game Environment - From Start To Finish]
Cool idea, I was thinking about doing it in 3D when I watched it myself. I loved how the space stuff design was so oldschool, takes you back to 2001: A Space Odyssey. All the props and stuff look really doable,if I can give you on big hint, it would be to keep everything clean (watch out with the grunge you're mentioning)… -
Re: Portfolio Round Up- Dan Plunkett
actually used reference from pics of cho-lon, Saigon which is pretty much saigons china district. I was conflicted about that with the shape of the buildings since they pieces, even the walls are modular and didn't want the wear to look repetitive, unless there's a way to do that. That's defintely what I plan to do when I… -
Re: [Portfolio/DemoReel] - Andrew Welbig
Thanks guys, that's the plan. I've starte work on a "tile set" based on the textures I already have and in the same style. I'm going to implement the pieces in UDK but base a lot of it off of the pieces from Runic Games' Torchlight. It has been fun playing around with TorchEd and seeing how they rearange things and how…
