Re: Layoff update
Thanks for the responses everyone! Thanks Eric! :) That's a great point and it’s something I am learning now. On a positive note, I am having a lot more fun now that I get to work on my own things, even though I am making negative money doing it lol… Zetheros, I still don’t know how bad it is. I just interviewed for a few… -
Re: Unreal Engine, looking for feedback, thanks : )
Hey @Araka this is a great start. As Eric pointed out composition would be a great start for you. 1. Have a clear understanding of where your focal point is. And then expect to guide people towards it. 2. A good general rule of thumb is "the rule of thirds" - it means that your focal point should fall on a third of the… -
Retopologizing help
Hey there, I'm a Environment Art student and I made an account to ask this but.. What's the optimal way to retopologize basic assets? I'm fairly confident in my skills in sculpting, modelling, unwrapping etc. But I'm always pretty fuzzy on how to retopologize well. It's generally the step where the quality of my assets… -
google street view UK, enviro reference?
Hey I heard as of today that most of the uk is now on google street view. This could make pretty cool environment art reference material? or is that not legal? for example heres my local town hall and library… -
UE3 Materials: Is this kind of Translucent Material Possible?
Hi guys, I am moderately experienced with UDK's material editor but I have no idea how to "program" a very particular feature into my material... I'd like to create something very similar to DepthBiasedAlpha, but with a twist: I want the material's opacity to change depending on the Z-axis depth to the surface beneath it,… -
Re: Creating a very specific type of rock...
I'd probably do a derivative of option #2 (see image) But I'd do up 6 or so fully detailed (not just face) sections like I've colorized in all the differing heights. I'd lean towards doing it in 3d-Coat as voxels just so I could use the retopo tools, but you could just keep them as hipoly .obj's as well in either Mud or Z… -
Re: UV Coordinates in Shaders
It should be fairly obvious by the naming... It takes the world position of the vertices - where they are relative to (0,0,0) in the scene. World position is useful here because it means it's consistent no matter how the mesh is moved, rotated or scaled. Then divides it by 500 (to scale the result up a bit - so that in the… -
Re: Lazy Nezumi Pro - mouse and pen smoothing in PhotoShop and other apps!
Not sure about the whole "draw the different axis on the cube" thing.. seems like it would be really hard to get something precise out of it. If you guys want to try the new measure points: http://lazynezumi.com/downloads/LazyNezumiPro_14_7_30_1501_Setup.exe Use the new "perspective" distortion mode to get them. I will add… -
Re: More then one Lerp blend Shader possible?
Well I tried doing a Normalized World position plugged into my Dot product but this isnt giving the result I would expect. It blends the snow effect based on the height of the model, not its pole position/Zup direction. It seems no matter what I try it is always basing the way it blends off the Z height. So if its above…
