Well time to strip! Hi there. I'd like to believe this is a great resource for anatomy things if your covered up model needs it at all: https://www.artstation.com/anatomy4sculptors "focusing on anatomy" Clothing: (random but informative find) youtube link. Armor: (people find these useful) YT link. C&c: Looks alright, img…
I have been researching animations and additives for UE4. I'm making a game with 9 characters (humanoid) that share universal animations (using animation re-targeting). There are 14 weapons. Some are one-handed while others are two-handed weapons (as well as some firearms). I have created animations with additives in mind.…
I'm happy to finally share some renders of my latest WIP character that I've been working on, and will definitely update the clothes and the body later to update more renders of the whole character. I started sculpting the mesh from scratch in ZBrush to polish my skills and focus on human head anatomy, wrinkles, and…
Hi! Cool project! To what Eric was commenting, perhaps you can control the frequency/ detail of textures some by distance to camera. I think the wood structures/ scaffolding could use some supports to stabilize them, could also lead to some interesting silhouettes. The lights being attached into the ropes is a bit weird in…
Don't forget about perspective with the scratches and grime drip. When the drip goes down the wall then over the metal peice that sticks out further then the wall you should offset it or scale it horizontal to fake perspective more. Same with the scratches, the same scrach wouldnt go over the metal and prefectly onto the…
Hey Eric, thanks for the question! 🙏 The original plan was actually for the players to be sitting in a creepy old basement playing the card game. But right now I’m re-thinking things a bit — it might end up taking place inside the house I’m currently building. Not 100% locked in yet, though. Worst case (production-reality…
I would take what's been done before on the Necris theme with a grain of salt and try your best to put your own spin on what you think of when "Necris" is brought up. Generally speaking UT3 had horrible visual clarity in the end product and the Necris maps were one of the worst offenders of this so it might be better to…
This is actually a very viable question Beddall. And the answer is definitely something that I believe needs to be heard a bit more. About 6 months ago we had a few people from Epic drop by our studio to tell us about UE4 and their position on material layering was pretty strong: "don't use it unless you absolutely have…
@Eric Chadwick Thank you for the feedback! I really get what you mean about the textures. I always wonder how best to group my UVs. I'll take this into consideration going forward!
