we had this discussion recently at work because we had for years a bloated system in place for everyone to work with. The bad thing we had were to many pre defined folders that were not really used, so the new one had the following unique details:* short folder names, more close to back end dev conventions (3-4 chars if…
Have spent some time trying to fill out the mid-and-back ground of the scene to start to bring it together. Put together a pine tree to use as a background asset, although it does seem to clash with the centrepiece a little. Have also bit the bullet and used some Megascans assets, notably on the background grasses and…
Technical Details For this project, I will be using 3DS max to model the assets, and then Mudbox to create high poly sculpts. I will texture within Quixel, and export to Unreal Engine 4 to assemble the environment. The main film I will be looking at for reference is 'Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets' as that is its…
A couple of month ego I saw one of amazing concepts from "Greg Broadmore" for a Venusian environment he did for a Workshop : This world is around his astonishing universe of Dr. Grordbort, totally blown up by that I decided to make this one in UE4 so that i can wonder about inside it in VR, worked on it on spare times, I…
I received a royal spanking with the title and topic in that thread. :poly103: So I am hoping to gather weblinks/blogs for my students with this thread. :poly108: This is a link to my students work. http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=68766 As you can see they work really hard but I would like to help those…

One, what style are you working in? Many times I've seen people put WAY too much…
I wish they did that a couple months ago... But I was able to fix it... so no complaining here. :) I wrote this in an email to someone a couple weeks ago. The e74 error is said to be a error with either the AV cable, ana chip, or graphics chip. So before you go and open your xbox... you need to try a new AV cable (or…
Yeah, this is a scam going out. Got this email from 'segaremotejobs@gmail.com'. You don't need to pay too much attention to be able to figure out how dumb it sounds. $70 per hour, part time, proficient with pencil and paper. The whole thing was just ridiculous. I feel people new in the industry are easy targets, because…
Well the guys at work and I have had a look at unity and udk and both are rather exciting, we havent reached a decision about any of it yet but we have realised that there are some major pros but also some very serious cons. pros - excellent engine with great features, this goes without saying really cons - 1. in order to…
