I've been using Sequencer for exactly this. With UE5 there are significant improvements with Sequencer and ControlRig. If you're limited to using UE4, you can still pull off results like this even without setting up raytracing project settings. Feel free to check out my portfolio link below. The most recent posts…
Might try and come back to write out a more fleshed out post later but some quick pointers first * Your portfolio link is wrong. You only want the 'sethusher1.wordpress.com' bit! and include it in this post, sorry. Your skill level and approach is relevant. * But unfortunately, also, your website is kind of a pain to…
Hi Dillon and welcome. Concerning the software you use, and please anyone correct me if you feel I'm wrong here, but I think it mostly comes down to what you know/what the studio you work for uses. I've not used much Cinema 4D but most of the people I know who use it work in advertising and digital media rather than games…
alright, I'll try to help, I've worked on 5 MMOs as an artist. I do have to say, you sound like you're biting off more than you can chew. I've got a good amount of experience and I'd consider a 2d platformer too complex for a first game. If you've never made a game before, I suggest making a simple block puzzle game like…
Yeah, basically my workflow is: Concept / Research: For weapons that arent 1:1 realistic. Example would be the flamethrower, which is inspired by the LPO50; however the LPO has a fuel backpack, we needed a canister/ammo based flamethrower. So I came up with a few designs in max. I dont get concept art so its really just…
When using Code formatting, we see several problems: * @ symbol should be escaped. * # symbol should be escaped. * Text should not be so dark. * Syntax coloring should be supported. * Scroll bars (vertical and horizontal) would be helpful. -- This structure wraps operations specific to the Procedural Content feature

If you actually think about it, for most game engines they are still triangles :) Of course now polygons are hardware accelerated but so are patches and even NURBS in some cases (PSP and even PS3 i think but i have to check with our guys) What MoP said is correct. Perna, "A quad-base mesh has the predictability and…
My artist to coding converison went like this: basic - just very very simple stuff at school, I wouldnt consider coding now ;) java - at university, courses... we learned a lot about algorithms and data structures. Java or C# make it easier to do this, as they take care of memory management. maxscript - doing very simple…
Oh how novel, another 'Maya blows' thread! People never quite get this, but Maya is exactly what you want it to be. Target weld mel code: /* targetWeld- emulates the behaviour of the 3dsMax tool - snap selected vertex to location of a second vert, and weld/merge them. Campbell Strong 9/02 4.0 > 02/03 4.5…
Yep that's a portable forced air heater alright. Everything looks good except for the unwrap there are a lot of edges that should be straightened, specifically the long straight pieces in the upper left and the straight curved piece in the lower right. Because these aren't straight you'll get aliased lines, these will get…
