maybe make the water a bit more white at the top of the waves?

kinda like this: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tojD1kzr3Ro/maxresdefault.jpg

although this is not really realistic.

Also underwater view

Needs some foam.

Also the underwater one seems to be lacking a sun and caustics. Look at more reference and try to recreate the lighting conditions from the reference 1 by 1.

>but with a machine you can't skin weight
why couldn't you ? you usually just set all the vertices of the part you need influenced to 1 on the right bone.
You may also just parent said part to the bone, but it's bad workflow as you can't pointCache it later

You parent or constrain objects to joints. Skinning is used for meshes that need to deform. I guess you could skin it if it absolutely has to be one mesh object.

PBR is a series of shader techniques, not a texturing technique.

What a useless, pedantic post.

Pirate it and find out if you like it.

I use PBR techniques to texture in ue4. I hardly ever use albedos/diffuse textures now

You cant connect floating verticies to a poly. If you want to make an arch connected to a plane this is a better way.

>>511854
>>511839
Oh please You absolutely can connect isolated vertices to a poly, just use the graphite tools Op.


1) select the vertices you want to become your new polygon and go Graphite Modelling Tools > Cap Poly

2) Graphite Modelling tools > Freeform > Step Build. Then hold shift and drag the cursor around the vertices you wanna connect to generate new faces in that area (common practice in max retopo work).

Might be more ways too, but that are the ones I use and are aware of.

It doesn't like N-gons tho so you gotta do it like pic related.

>hey /3/ my friend extracted entire runescape map and im thinking about rebuilding it in UE4 with HD textures and lighting
So you're the idea guy.

>>511618
i have other skills others than ideas :(

does this look like fucking google

>>511736
This site is for people who aren't brain dead, get the hell out.

>>511738
cant find an answer on google on the official site there is a plugin in for navigation unfortunately it doesn't work on the 64 bit version

>How do I get rid of this white

You're the aryan, you tell me.

you delete the secondary color map/decal/template what the fuck
cheers

>>510753
You can't. White is superior.

its ok

i like it, it's cute

>>511681
what would make it better?

Blender has a sculpting feature in it. Depends what you want to make. I use it to add damage and wear to models i've already made then I remesh them. You can also completely sculpt a figure in blender then remesh it. Check out some youtube videos,

Have tried some sculpting i think i would rather slit my wrists then use that to build something.

>>511499
vertex paint means you assign a color value to a vertex. Like for blending 2 textures you paint some vertices black and some white,
and the triangle between them are interpolated between the values of their neighbours.
Since it's limited by vertex density It's a very crude type of blending only suitable for special purposes unless you want a really retro type look.

if you want good smooth blending you must use texture instead of vertex paint for your blend mask.
Upping the polycount to a density where vertex paint works well would require retardedly dense meshes.

>>511500
Like for you to be able to paint "anywhere" like say on a 2048x2048 texture your plane would need to be subdivided to have 4194304 vertices which gives like 8.3 million triangles.

well how can i paint over the texture itself? because i saw someone do it in a tutorial and he said its "vertex panting" but he was painting freely.

UE4 :^)

VRay, if only because there is an abundance of high quality tutorials out there. Start with some shitty introductory tutorial, mess around for a bit then consider getting Grant Warwick's VRay course - it's the be-all and end-all of VRay courses.

imo i would like more impact and flying parts but dk

Is good. Would like to see more than just two secs though

awful animation. His lefet leg and left lower arm dont even move, neither do any of his head tentacles move. Nor do any of his fingers move. Why waste time doing all this retexturing and rigging which is clearly above your skills? Why not just use a free rig?
