Re: environment uber shader request?
Hi Mikool, go to your custom polygon display options, and be sure to set: Color: enabled Color material channel: Diffuse Material blend setting: Overwrite and hit Apply/Apply and Close now in your viewport hit '6' to go to textured mode, and '7' to see the texture with vertex colors. Each time you change the vertex AO, you… -
Re: The Fall of Arcadia
After lots of critiques, I decided to rework some lighting and materials in The Fall of Arcadia. Thank you Jake for replying. I tried to make the focal point more clear, and clean up the floor a little bit. I hope you like the changes I made. I also want to thank everyone who gave me advice throughout, and I want to give a… -
Re: Any way to get lots of video into packaged game without bloating download size?
Thanks I am looking further into that. I also see this here: Play a Video Stream | Unreal Engine Documentation So it is possible to stream from youtube for example into the game. But ideally players dont need internet access so I'll see if its possible to get all the video needed into the game directly. Maybe it doesnt… -
Re: On the topic of getting into 3D art...
Hi Akas - I'm also a fellow perfectionist. I have improved with this though. I think the best way to deal with it is to make a lot of work/assets. I always think of the 1 versus 100 pots analogy. Basically it's better to spend your time making lots of assets than 1 perfect asset. If you focus on just making 1 that is when… -
Can't get 1:1 ratio texel density on my current unwrap.
Ok I'm working on a model, I've never really encountered this before as it usually works but for some reason no matter what I try the the size of certain objects I've created are incredibly small compared to others. I've tried "rescale clusters", packing my UV's in a bunch of different ways and even downloaded textools and… -
SpeedTree --> UE4 Lighting Issue
Hia! So I'm trying to wrap my head around SpeedTree in Unreal 4 and I'm having some lighting issues - which I'm guessing are somewhat related to normals? I've previously created trees in Maya successfully - but I'm getting some strange, ugly shadows in my new SpeedTree ones. Here's an image with the bad lighting. In the… -
Re: [UE4] Fontana Moore Residence WIP
You can try tinkering with ambient occlusion to get your chairs looking more "grounded". You can use Screen Space AO (found in the post process) to put more shadows in your scene globally but be careful not to set it too high (as you'll run into "halo" artifacts that increase the shadows way beyond the object's size which… -
Re: Shadow monster/killer things
Good job on the model. Some minor technical crits first. Single tears don't come out of the inner corner of the eye unless the person is laying down or had their head tilted. They pool along the bottom eyelid and then run down out of the center of the eye (or the sides if the person is looking up). This is why mascara… -
How to activate 4D modeling in Maya
Not sure if this is the right place to post as this place is for 3D art, but hopefully it's fine. Today Autodesk released a new update to Maya, and with it came a strange hidden feature my buddy and I managed to dig out: 4D modeling. It is not mentioned in the release notes and there is no documentation of it (so far). I… -
Re: Any general way of getting rid of tris and n-gons?
Here's the way I do it in Maya 2010. Use selection constraints by going to Select>Select Using Constraints... then choosing the next selection option and under properties, checking N-sided (or triangles). With all of those settings ready to go, drag a selection around the entire object, and it will select only ngons. With…
