Re: Xnormal vs Other Baking options
You can use a cage for baking in Blender if you bake with Cycles. I typically don't like to do that, though, as it's awfully slow on my machine, especially at the high resolutions that I'd prefer to bake at. There are a couple of big problems that keep me from using Blender as my main baker: first, no antialiasing, and… -
Re: [FOLIAGE] ~ Polycount VS alpha cutout, which one to favour in trees?
@Mark Dygert Well, the integrated LODs system seem to work quite well, in UE4, and I doubt I'll ever have to handle FN level of view distances, in this project. My real problem is just with close up models, I want them to look good AND be performance friendly. I got, from the other replies, that using cards is not just an… -
Re: Unity Metallic/Metalness not showing Smoothness Slider
I'm not exactly certain at that level. The texture is loaded into memory only once, and presumably the bit for that lookup is loaded (it knows that from the vertex shader, and the UVs don't change, nor does the mip level for that point). So it's two samples of the same texture at the same place - meaning there is some… -
Re: Normal Map Jagged Edges
Alright, thanks. I was actually able to fix a lot of the errors by straightening edges on my UV shells as Earthquake said. The reason the edges are so sharp on my high poly is because i turned of "smooth positions" in Mudbox since it changes the high poly way too much. I guess beveling and chamfering edges would be an… -
Re: [Unity] Forest treehouse environment
Good start man! Awesome hand painting skills, really great! I reckon you might be jumping the gun a bit and getting into the texturing a little early, it'd be worth your time to get some base colours in and get your composition right before you make all these awesome textures that looks great individually but when put… -
Re: Small stylized village
Jsargent - Thanks, I actually also preferred those colors more, but didnt even noticed they gradually changed when I worked on it, until I posted it here, seeing them side by side. And thanks for the vertex normal links. I am using it on the trees (unless it broke somewhere) but I think my main problem with it is the… -
Re: What is the correct workflow for creating & importing animated models into Unreal?
4.13 added limited support for Alembic vertex animation but creating a rig in Max is the way to go. Aside from Alembic UE needs a rig with a single root bone hierarchy whether it's a swinging door or a player character. You can create one quite easily using CAT(as the hierarchy is already established) Just create a bone… -
Re: [UE4] Dense Rainforest (Finished/SmallBreakdown)
Hiya guys! Its been a bit since my last update but I spent some time updating my site and updating this scene as well. Doing some test on different light angles. I'm kind of in favor for the first angle as I think it has a nice contrast between dark and light elements. But please do share your thoughts on it as well. Some… -
Re: Multiple detail maps in one material. Possible?
@Butthair Shader languages don't have any data types above a float4. RGBA and XYZW are interchangeable. @gem2492 You could blend in many different ways, from vertex color to texture map to coordinate based in a shader. You could do this in any software that allows you to transfer a shader to your GPU, so Max, Maya, Unreal,… -
Re: UDK - Ramelle
You're almost there. Two aspects of the pieces need attention. Firstly, the cobble stones look too new and are sticking out too much. They need to look worn like they have been there for hundreds of years and have some variation, I suggest using vertex painting. For UDK 3, Tor Frick made a free video tutorial showing now…
