Re: [UE4] Bugatti Renaissance Project + Material Testing (WIP)
I don't mean the way they mean it... which is a weird way of putting it. No I mean that there's actually 2 different materials, one that's ideally partially transparent, that go into creating something like car paint, which I don't know if UE4 actually supports. Edit- see someone else already pointed it out. Kind of annoys… -
Re: Question for people in industry, has 3D got boring for you?
It sort of depends where you work. Epic offers a lot of compelling reasons to work in games beyond "the love of it". Smaller companies and start ups don't have as much to offer though, that's true. As for the tools ... yeah, I mean, Max is old but what it gets the job done. I use it every day and I can make art for our… -
Re: Creating Ambient Occlusion maps and using them
To add a bit more detail to this discussion Unreal 4 can auto generate AO in screen space taking the normal map texture into account that's applied to your object so you don't have to bake high frequency AO into a texture. That being said it costs frame rate to do this as I believe you need a full res render buffer pass or… -
Re: For a non-Rigger, is it easier to rig/animate a character in Maya, or in UE4
If you're a Maya user, you could probably get away with using Epic's Animation Rigging Toolkit. It's pretty good for most things bipedal. https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Engine/Content/Tools/MayaRiggingTool/ I definitely think it's worth learning how to properly rig characters if that's a direction you're… -
Re: Sign Up For Star Wars: The Old Republic Beta

Re: FWVN - Modeling/Topo Shading Issues
Alright, sold - bought a standard license, looking forward to giving it a whirl tomorrow. I'm sure I'll have questions but whilst I test it out I'll try and get through the longer video. I really don't mind I personally think you can never watch enough, I learn a lot from hour long videos on various topics sometimes… -
Re: [UDK] Japanese Maple Scene
I think I'll mess around with the ground a bit because you're right about that contrast. As for the water, I've had a lot of comments on making it clearer but I'm not quite sure how. This is just an edited version of Epic's water from their foliage map. I changed the color of the fog, scaled the normals to be a lot smaller… -
Re: Sketchbook: Veneq
Erik - Thanks! And thanks for checking out my SB! You do too. Gestures. Bridgman. Gestures. Loomis. Gestures. Gestures. Gestures. Daily diet, right? Anyway... Something different but fun! I freelanced for about 1.5 years almost exclusively in the music industry creating art for shirts - this is one I finished recently and… -
Re: Does Ue4 support Area Lights?
I tried increasing the resolution, it's still very unsightly. These are threads I have looked into and non uniform scaling seems to be any issue. I think they mean not using rectangle shaped meshes that are too long in one direction.… -
Re: limit your job hunt to AAA at your own risk
As long as I make games ( preferably good games ) I'm happy AAA or not. When starting out experience in any studio environment helps. I've had many artists wanting to break into games with companies such as Epic and Bungie at the top of their list. In my opinion it's a mistake to aim that high at first. As PixelMasher…
