Hi all, it's been a while since my last post here and a lot happened in the last year(also new nickname:)). I've been working as an artist at Streamline Studios (let me say, a really cool place), and I'm having the opportunity to work on exciting projects. One of the past projects was Gears of War and I can finally show…
Hi everyone!

Hi PolyCount, I have been a lurker for a while now, and decided to be a serious member of this forum. I have a tent scene that is going to be an interior scene, but because you can see the outside I have to fake the desert/ sky box with the lighting. I use sky light with directional light and few point lights. Any help…

The thought process behind, why they made the…
I've been silent for way too long. I just moved out of New York City. It's been a hell of a five years, and I'm happy to move on. I just don't know where to yet. More on that later. For now, let's compile everything I've learned over the last three weeks. You gotta let a story write itself, same way you gotta let a picture…
I am not sure that epics inhouse spawning/painting systems support static mesh. There is a great plugin called Simple Scatter that does support this. It does not support reading the materials texture directly, but you can use a mask to control placement. So its just a matter of convert your textures to a mask. The one…
Same issue with foilage. If I zoom in close to the foilage. Ue4 crashes. Could anyone pls give any insight. I am beginning to suspect this might have something to do with laptop gpus and their drivers. I am using an RTX 2080, the laptop has a 64gb memory so I don't get what the issue might be. Maybe Epic hasn't given…
The tree from Epic was really close to one in my reference only the branches were too small. So I have just ported IT over to Blender and scaled the branches. Also I have tweaked the texture and material, original was too dark and different shade of green. You can see it in my firs screenshots. Here is already modified…
