Re: UE4 Lighting / Need some advice
I'd set this mesh to movable because it would be that in an actual game anyways, it wouldn't use lightmaps. You'd still need to bake once, so it makes the indirect light cache that the mesh would move through. This is something like the light environment in UDK, that you could use on movable things like characters,… -
Re: Portfolio-stuART_3dee
roosterMAP: Yea I agree. That texturing has gone through several passes and Im still not pleased. I'll get on it. looprix: The toon outline is from PS for presentation purposes :) Im still trying to figure out how a mesh can cast shadows on another mesh in UDK. I was working on it yesterday and they still didnt show up.… -
Re: Foliage shadows + Other performance issues
Do you have a world ambient value set? Yes you should make another material just for the double sided objects. There is already a system in UDK for culling out small objects. You do not need to do anything complicated. Just enable 'screen door fade' in your material usage slots. (this does bring up the instruction count… -
Re: [UE4] Desert Environment
This is looking awesome, I especially like that last one. The DOF works really well with the foliage in the foreground, almost like a photograph! Are you gonna do a damage pass on that barrier? If you want more color variation in the foliage, I've used this method before and it it works great.You can set a realistic/subtle… -
Re: What units do you work with? Ft? Inch? Cm?
1cm in Maya equals 1 Unreal Unit since the UDK importer convert the units to have 1 = 1 (even if 1 UU equals 0.75 inches/2 cm). Personally I work in centimeter or sometimes in meters. The big reason is that it's what the engine I'm working on use and also what units I'm used to in real-life. Also Maya works better in… -
Re: Normal maps baking out too bright
I ran into this problem but the material assigned was a default phong set to white. The odd thing was previous bakes worked out fine. I troubleshooted the same things, gamma/LUT, cleaning up scene for other lights, re-applying materials, exporting and opening a new scene. xNormal was fine, but I required max for this… -
Re: world align normal issue - rotating meshes
You're reorienting the UV's in world space, but the material is reading it as tangent space. Simply input your normal map texture2d into a Vector Transform node set to Source:World and Destination:Tangent. I just tested this with the default UDK template map cube meshes and this fixes it. Also a side note, I suggest… -
Re: Math behind Cubemaps and Normals (and how redo it manually?)
@Fic: No idea honestly since I'm just balling the idea, I guess I could say the UDK engine for example? @Equil: Interesting, I'm taking a look for "dual paraboloid reflection maps" but it seems like most documents from GameDev are dead. http://graphicsrunner.blogspot.ca/search/label/Dual-Paraboloid Do I need to setup my… -
Re: PORTFOLIO - Give me feedback on my fledgling 3d body of work!
I'd really love to see a bit more attention to detail. I share the sentiments above. The impression you give is that you're trying to finish work quickly to add pieces to the portfolio. Your focus seems to be primarily characters so I'd like to see more full game-ready characters in a game engine (marmoset or UDK are easy… -
Re: Kate & Virgil
Okay..so I think I'm finally ready to call the initial modelling stage done. Going to take her into mudbox/zbrush to get the shapes a little bit more what i want. Mainly..feminising the face. Then do the sculpt. Aiming to make Kate and Virgil in game resolution so hopefully get them fully textured and into…
