Re: Cyberpunk Street [Unreal Engine 4]
About the puddles: They are actually super simple! just a vertex Paint material with my floor and a black material with roughness of 0 and metalness of 1 for the vertexpainting. I think what really makes the relfections nice is the Screen Space Reflections option and the Distance Field Ambient Occlussion (DFAO). And also a… -
Re: 3D Modelling Techniques For A Beginner - Advice and Pointers Please
I used to be a programmer before learning 3D. Here is my advice for a quick start. You will learn the basics which will be useful for any advanced topics there may be (such as Zbrush). 1. Pick a 3D package: Max, Modo, Maya, Blender 2. Learn poly modeling - i.e. how to edit individual polygons and best practices 3.… -
Re: Turbosmooth ruins Unwrap
Edit: oh, seems that it is possible from the links that respawnrt posted :poly136: Ignore my post, except for when it still doesn't work :p Sometimes you can get away with unwrapping the low poly (or in this case basicly the control mesh for the HP), but it's never gonna be perfect. I got away with it on my car, because I… -
Re: I have a question about morph target in unreal engine
To really get the advantages/disadvantages of one over another you need to understand how each operates. A morph target will linearly interpolate/extrapolate between one set of vertex position(s) and another. This can be good for some kinds of animation, like facial expressions, or making sure a character's joints deform… -
Re: Good character modelling tutorials (that isn't Zbrush-based) ?
blender handles it all, no need for maya, photoshop, painter. at least for the start. agreed that sculpting is so valuable for the textures. in fact, no point in doing them purely by hand in my opinion. baking shading down and painting on top of that is a superior method with a lot more consistent results. besides,… -
Re: [3Ds Max] Is rigging and skinning before texturing ok?
Sure you can do that, you can even change the topology or add/remove geometry if you really need to. If you don't change the geometry and the vert numbering matches (it can change if you import/export the mesh to other apps) you can just apply UVW unwrap under the skin modifier, then load/save the UV's. Use the "collapse… -
Re: Polyviewer, a model viewer for android
Fingus - It's weird that it's crashing there. Does a dialog to select a model come up at all? or just press the button and the app crashes? The code as it stands should handle any error in the code when hitting the model button. Electro - First time loading a model is a bit slow since it's parsing an obj file. There's code… -
Re: Game rendering definitions on the wiki
the wikipedia link refers to the ms docs, where more stuff is explained http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb509635(v=VS.85).aspx rasmus, what kind of enlightenment do you expect from the instruction count knowledge? I my opinion too much information can be confusing if one doesn't have practical experience with… -
Re: Is the extra effort really noticed
I think for the most part no one notices, game reviewers don't seem to know the difference which is pretty sad. I remember when SSX3 shipped one of the magazines rated us the same as another game for graphics and made no mention of our final gather lighting, shadow cast from every object in the scene and beautiful lighting… -
Re: Hand painted church , need help
If he had a high poly then an AO bake would do something. An AO bake of that church model would result in a mostly white map with a few greyish spots in it at the concave curves, and would be pointless for the texture. Adding some color variation in via vertex painting could be nice, but then not all platforms use that,…
