Re: Apex Clothing Tutorial
Yeah no problem :D Make sure you get the Apex Clothing plug-in for 3ds Max or Maya from https://developer.nvidia.com/apex-clothing 1. Started out with just a flat vertical plane in 3ds max with the width of the curtain being a little bigger than what I intend in the end. (That'll make more sense later) Green line shows how… -
Re: Normal Map Question
Have you baked the normal map directly from Maya? I'm actually a Maya user but I've never actually bake maps using it. Have you tried Xnormal or that new Handplane Baker release just to compare?. That's how I do my normal maps. I'm slightly confused as to how you've used the cage there but don't worry about it, I've never… -
Re: To MODO or not to MODO...: MODO VS the Rest... (MODO users needed!)
The forum is being weird and only letting me post two paragraphs at a time. Continuing on: Second, in Blender and Modo the bridge tools almost always work well with sort of arbitrary selections. Modo's is a little more finicky than Blender's which can bridge just about anything, but in any non-artificial situation it still… -
Re: CGMA - Organic World Building in UE4 progress
In week 5 we focused on rocks and watched some techniques to take them to the next level using shaders. We focused on adding more details to the rocks, work on the slope vector shader, mesh vert displacement shader and Parallax / Bump offset shader. Here is how my scene looked in week 5: The slope vector shader really adds… -
Re: Do you prefer Video or Text tutorials?
Text. Easier to parse, faster to read, lets me go at my own pace. Video tutorials are never useful unless motion is important and if that motion cannot be conveyed by a series of pictures. Practical examples: I want to find out more about support loops for hard surface modeling. I'm not going to watch a 30-minute tutorial… -
Re: Game models, polygon count and other questions
Hi. These questions are a little hard to answer, but I try.So... First We need to about triangle count, not polygon count, because this is what really matters in this viewpoint. Actually nowadays on the modern pcs, this count doesnt really matter because these pcs are really strong and can handle multi-millions of… -
Advice for solving various normal map/edge bake artifacts?
So I have this flaregun model that I've been working on for some time. It's nothing special but I've been using it to experience the different steps of creating an asset. And well I've hit a bit of a bump in the baking phase of the model. Obviously I'm using Marmoset toolbag to bake down my maps, and I'm getting quite a… -
Building an environment - Evil Genius hidden forest base
I've been dropping these concepts in the WAYWO thread long enough that I might as well get my own thread going. I've wanted to do something like this for awhile now, but never wanted to pull the trigger on the idea because I didn't want to get myself in to something I'd just stress over at home. Since this is a personal… -
80s-style Engine Analysis Room (UE4)
Scene I put together for an art test for Camshaft Software (Camshaft gave me permission to post this) I had a lot of fun making this, any crits welcome :) Here you can see how the fresnel effect is used to dull-out the displays. the oscilloscopes fade out, the table LCD has a low field of view, and the CRT displays have a… -
