Adding Detail Textures. Procedural Nature Pack Vol.1 by PurePolygons in Environments. Preview Video: YouTube Spline Tree Optimization (Exporting and Importing) - YouTube Create rivers, trees, vines, and whatever else you can imagine procedurally!

Rivers: The rivers are all spline generated with a material that increases the speed of the river based off of the slope angles of the geo and adds foam to the water at the tops and base of any water falls. So there is no extra work on your part. Moss: Procedural moss placement on assets or vertex painted versions for the more precise individual. Trees + Foliage: Simply adjust the number of branches, angle, angle variance, twist of the tree trunk, wind intensity, up to 4 separate branch types per spline, and all of this can be found on each individual branch spline. Terrain: High quality hand sculpted terrain materials. Rocks: And of course rocks with worldspace color overlays and normals so you can scale and rotate them to any size or shape without any distortion to the rock material.

[Tutorial] Multiplayer supported UsableActor System in Blueprint - Tom Looman. Introduction By popular demand I created this Blueprint tutorial variation based on my earlier UsableActor tutorial in C++.

In case your project has a C++ back-end already I would recommend following that tutorial instead. In this tutorial we will implement a framework to interact with objects in the world. The tutorial includes event hooks to use an item and handle object highlighting and supports multiplayer. Basic knowledge of Unreal 4 and Blueprints is expected, I will focus on getting the feature to work and less on teaching you how to handle Unreal 4’s Interface.

3ds Max Tutorial (Beginner) Of Bit Depths, Banding and Normal Maps. This is an issue that pops up more and more frequently these days.

Now that many engines/renderers are finally using synced normal map workflows, the weaknesses in our pipeline become easier to spot. First off, what is bit depth and why is it important? Bit depth refers to how many values an image can store. A 24 bit image can store 8 bits, or 256 values of information per channel. From this point forward, if I say 8, 16 or 32 bit, assume I mean per channel. 256 values are usually enough for content like diffuse, specular or gloss maps because these maps tend to use up a broader range of the value spectrum.

Tangent space normal maps, on the other hand, tend to use a much narrower value range. Realistic Rendering Example. Overview This example shows off the realistic rendering possibilities of Unreal Engine 4.

The goal was to create a small scene that had the look and feel of an architectural rendering, as those produced by CG rendering engines such as VRay and Mental Ray. However, the primary stipulation in this case was that all assets be game-ready, meaning that no high-poly modeling could be used. Everything in the scene had to be created such that one could make an actual and practical game using these methods. The scene utilizes the following engine features: Skew you buddy! Making sense of skewed normal map details. This is really a continuation of the waviness thread, but I figured i would start a new topic here as I feel this is essential information and a lot of people still struggle with the concept.

If you don’t understand what a cage/averaged projection mesh is, be sure to read the waviness thread first. First off, a normal map baked from plane. As this is a simple plane, the vertex normals point in the same direction as the face normal, so the detail is projected without any skewing. Its important to talk about vertex normals and face normals separately here, because vertex normals are averaged between the adjacent faces, so even though your polygon is flat, your vertex normals almost certainly are not. Additionally, when I refer to vertex normals, I’m talking about the normals of the projection mesh/cage, which should be averaged and ignore the mesh normals of your lowpoly entirely (if not, you’ll get gaps, read the other thread if you’re confused at this point).

UDK. Issue01. Rope generator update. Textures, feedback and coffee. MohsenDehnavi has some pretty good points.

You definitely should be sculpting these. Your normals and displacements will come out 10x better than if it's based off of a photo. I think the reason your mud texture looks pretty off is because there is no real context in the texture. Without the context it does really look like melting snow.

Character Heads Creation Pipeline and Rendering in <i>Destiny</i> (SIGGRAPH 2014) Tuesday, 12 August 10:45 AM - 12:15 PM | Vancouver Convention Centre, West Building, Ballroom C/D Course Summary In Bungie’s upcoming video game Destiny, character creators needed to produce a variety of visually advanced content that would be rendered in real time for in-game scenarios and in-engine cinematics.

This course explores the challenges and constraints presented by console hardware and the real-life production needs of Bungie’s pipelines for player and cinematic hair authoring and animation, and face-animation retargeting. The course summarizes the techniques the character creators used to set up a future-proof geometry pipeline for hair rendering, developing hair shading that is integrated seamlessly into the full lighting pipeline for deferred rendering, and creating believable motion across a variety of console hardware.

Derivative Maps in xNormal. Version 3.17.8 of xNormal has just been released with a new map type called a Derivative map. The primary goal with this new map type is to provide a map that can be used with a new method for bump mapping that does not use tangent spaces. There are many advantages to using this method. 1. DebrisMaker2 - Procedural geometry creation tool for 3dsMax. Creating a Textured Brush in 3D Coat. PBR Practical Workflow. Photoshop Normal map rotation tool?

It's pretty easy to code this with tangent-space normal maps. basic concept: save every pixel in to a 2D Array with it's current R and G (and B) Value (B will not change). R and G convert to a vector of 3 dimensions (while only 2 have a value, which is x for red and y for green and z is defined as following) with angle in dependence of theyr greyscale value that is alpha = (Greyscalevalue(of R or G)-12 .

So your pixel array now saves two vectors for R and G there one points left and up and one points towards the top (of the image boundaries) and up. These two vectors define a plane from which you extract the normal vector. Now you turn the image by a given angle. Essentials, EP 2: Rotating Normal Maps. Combine normal maps script for Photoshop. Hello! I’ve just finished working on a script for Photoshop that combines normal maps using the “detail-oriented” technique described here: The script takes all the visible layers from your document and combines them.

It should work with 8 and 16 bit images. You can change the intensity of all the individual normal maps realtime regardless of the size It also works with just 1 normal map if you want to increase or decrease the strength of it. I’ve made this script because I didn’t really like the results of the usual methods of combining normal maps in Photoshop (Overlay,...).

Hello, Today we are going to cook a rock! Hard Surface Topology Reference Archive. RefBoard! Nifty little reference viewer. Quote: Ah, that makes more sense, I think it's a security setting. When you drag a file over the app window, refBoard checks the file's extension, and Windows checks refBoard's privilege level. The slashed circle indicates one of those checks is coming back negative. The app's extension check should be fine since it's working on some systems (otherwise it wouldn't work at all) so I think the problem is that refBoard's privilege level doesn't match that of Windows Explorer. (Windows doesn't allow applications with different privilege levels to communicate like that.)

The reason for refBoard's low privilege level is because I haven't licensed a security certificate for it. Good Settings for Xnormal Curvature Map? Horizon Occlusion for Normal Mapped Reflections.
