Re: [UE4] Kamarish Valley
Two weeks... in his free time... it is a very good job given the time you spent on it. To be honest I'm not a fan of the very far statue, I think it is better if you just have a closer one. This is just a personal opinion about the composition of the scene, so it is not an objetive thing. The only unreal and quixel thing… -
Re: Modeling with Spacedraw on tablets and smartphones
Sculptor1234d, I used Spacedraw since one of the very early versions and never had a "disappearing" mesh. Unstable scenes that cannot be openend yes, but as far as I'm concerned it doesn't happen anymore. Spacedraw feels way more stable than 3DS Max was at the beginning. 1) Save your scene in .obj often to be safe. 2) Your… -
Re: [FOLIAGE & UE4] ~ Grass, full 3D strands to cards LOD transition, is it possible?
@zachagreg I know how the LOD colour coding works, sorry for giving you the impression that was a mystery to me too. Here's a screenshot with just quad overdraw on (full 3D grass blades).... I've watched a number of tutorials on grass and none ever mentioned "alpha mipping" or "normal skewing". Anyway, just for the sake of… -
Re: How does one get started with Environments, Vegetation etc?
One of the best tutorials I found that has helped me in really understanding the creation process of vegetation is "Creating Foliage for UDK" by Damian Lazarski on 3D Motive. It is a bit older and he populates his scene in UDK, but the creation method of the branches, leaves, manually adjusting vertex normals, alpha cards,… -
Re: Problematic baking of hard edges (how to do it without adding supporting loops?)
Easiest way to do such things properly now is something like Bevel (rounded edge) shader in Blender2.8. Or similar thing in other soft. Also those support loops along hard/split edges representing beveled/ rounded ones, you need them only for doing initial normal map bake. For the final model you could remove most of such… -
Re: THE GOVERNATOR
Why is Arnold changing in size whenever he moves? Why do his lips move without inbetween transitions? Why are the shadows hard edged, even on the places where shadow must no exist? Why does he have a laser-mecha eye for a normal eye? How come his wife didn't notice this, how does he take a shower without frying it? How… -
Re: Skinning and Bones Help?
Oh yea speaking of Skin Utilities they modified it slightly when they included it in the skin modifier. In the Skin Modifier you can also save the weighting, envelopes and custom vertex weights using Advanced Parameters, Save/Load. If you've changed the topology you will want to uncheck "Load Vertices by Index" when you're… -
Re: ID_Map question
Hi PlateCaptain, I think i figured out what i was doing wrong. i'm using blender to bake the colors from vertex colors to a low poly model. Main thing with this was that I was using first baking 4k maps which i resized to 2k maps. for speed purposes. and testing out. once i was satisfied what i was getting with the lowpoly… -
Re: Livestreamer's be wary!
I guess I can see how you'd feel that way and it sucks to have control taken out from under you, but I wouldn't say it cheapens anything. After all, I don't think that random people posting youtube tutorials cheapens the folks at Eat3D or 3DMotive (as long as it isn't just copying their videos, obviously.) It is just… -
Re: Tips on Making dirt roads?
I'm not sure what game that is from, but it might be a custom curated map with very specific work done to it, almost like sculpting the entire thing and then using texture blending, probably with vertex colors. How you approach it really depends on your goals and what engine you are using. You can hand curate the map like…
