Re: "Overwatch HQ" - Long-Term Environment Working Thread [UE4]
I noticed as I was revisiting the hallway sections that my lighting was overblown. Sometimes it just takes leaving an area and coming back to it after a good amount of time away to finally see something super obvious. I'm using a pretty simple LPV realtime lighting set up for this, and most of the lighting is driven by an… -
Re: Feedback and critique for someone new to 3d modeling.
Now that you've got a basic understanding of modeling you should briefly plan out your next few projects. You don't specify what your goals are in the OP but I'm going to assume you want to make props for real-time rendering (game engines). Current gen workflows generally involve the following: making a high-polygon mesh… -
Re: Sci-Fi grenade game asset WIP
I agree with Mark, I think the Silhouette is really going to sell what these grenades are and what they do. I think your shapes are awesome, and your approach and references are really smart ways to do this! At a first glance, the grenades look like (to me): 1.) Looks like an orbital artillery laser device, (push the… -
Re: Taiga First Encounter of Alien Ruins - Warcry Extermination - enviroment
Hey guys. I am really not very happy with how it looks yet. I will have to add a lot of more smaller cracks to it but I will see if I will do this everywhere because it might not be very visible up near the head (it will be very tall statues) The technique is noting complex. First i make sure i have enough subdivisions and… -
Re: Reel & Portfolio - feedback please?
Demo reels, in general, are really only useful for animators & effects artists. The best way to show off static models is with still images. Concentrate on setting camera angles & lights to best display all the facets of your art. I'd put the navigation buttons on their own line immediately below the banner. With the… -
Re: Game Brightness and tv/monitor calibration+hdr
HDR tv is nothing but a gimmick to sell all the same old things : wide color gamut + nuke brightness. Cheap colorimeters could be blinded by such light intensity and usually work less accurate for wider gamut . More expensive ones would do just fine probably. Thus an advice to calibrate such tv as usual one, probably for… -
Re: PBR Texture....ALBEDO Photosource
For removing dark spots/dark shadows you might try, if you are using photoshop. 1. Select color range. 2. Then, Content-Aware fill. Unless you have really big shadows it tends to work quite nice. As for photo textures I'm of two ways here. If material is very rough (like concrete, rough wood, brick wall, rock, you got the… -
Re: Modular Environment Techniques
* It'll depend on the overall complexity of the kit and the player's camera perspective. I'd lean towards separating them for the sake of layer management . * Manifold meshes give you some wiggle room for tweaking/offsetting without light leaks, but you'll pay for it with your lightmap and you'll inevitably have some… -
Re: learn animating : need help
That is handled with Inverse Kinetics (IK). The end of the leg chain follows a point that is glued to world space, whatever the rest of the body is doing that foot is stuck to that point. In biped its called "planted keys" (Biped Menu > Key Info). They enable you to plant the feet on the ground plane then use "sliding… -
Re: M1911-A1 (first firearm)
Really great advice here guys, I appreciate it! s620ex1, I think I actually just ran across that image from razer: http://wiki.polycount.com/NormalMap?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=normal_edge_thickness.jpg I haven't collapsed most of my modeling stacks for the high poly, so I'm going to try and go back and add some…
