Collector, Unreal Engine virtual camera walkthrough 4K Render Everything 2020-09-22 | During re-making Collector demo in Unreal Engine, I had a lot of fun using virtual camera (using iPad pro) to walk around the enviroment in real space and "film" it.More about the project: http://www.rendereverything.com/project/collectorProcedural asset gernation pipeline: http://www.rendereverything.com/project/procedural-game-assets-in-houdini
Rain surface shader in Unreal Engine Render Everything 2020-09-22 | Implemented in UE, inspired by Last of Us 2. Only input from artist is a single grayscale height map for the model - representing water flow on the model. It is modulated by noise map that is transformed to imitate down flowing motion. Then I generate normal map from this height and set it as a secondary normal for water "coat". I also calculate fake caustic based on the normal, to make droplets more visible.
Collector demo in Unreal Engine 4K Render Everything 2020-09-22 | Recently I remade my Collector/Procedural asset generation demo in Unreal Engine for testing out some things and comparing the workflow with Unity.This is a flythough of the result.More about the project: http://www.rendereverything.com/project/collectorProcedural asset gernation pipeline: http://www.rendereverything.com/project/procedural-game-assets-in-houdini
