Welcome back one more week!
On the last tutorial, we left our scenes ready to be exported into Unreal Engine 4. This time, we can continue from that point and start playing with our models in the game engine – while we also begin to understand how said software works and what tweaks we need to apply for it to give the best results. Without further ado, let’s get to it!
Hi and welcome back!
On this very first blog entry about real-time archviz, we are going to start talking about those things we have to consider when transferring our work from a 3d application into a game engine. It doesn’t really matter which software you use for modelling and texturing, since the process we are about to cover is something that every 3d app handles. Having said so, let’s start bringing our buildings to life!
Hi back!
Starting this Wednesday, I’m going to launch a series of blog entries about real time visualization for architecture. Taken as a group, they are meant as a tutorial to help 3d artists make the jump from traditional renders and still images to real time archviz, using most of the assets you are probably used to and in a simple and effective way. We’ll be using some great and free tools to power our designs, such as the Unreal Engine 4, and some other good old friends of ours like Max or Maya.
I know I say this quite a lot, but now more than ever… WELCOME BACK!
It’s been twelve days since the last blog post, and no, my computer hasn’t been rendering for those 12 days straight. But alas, I have used some of that time to do that too! In this episode, we are going to take a look at how to set up a material with the textures we’ve created – in VRay no less. This process will be similar in other render engines, such as Mental Ray, RenderMan, Octane… so let’s get started and have some fun!
Welcome back!
It’s time to finish the creation of the textures for our project, after having started doing so last week. Now that we have the base texture – the colour map, exactly -, it’s finally time to make the rest of them. And for that, we’ll be using the last program in our pipeline: xNormal and Photoshop. Let’s get to it!
