The Spine Animation Story at Logic Simplified

Logic Simplified

MAY 7, 2024

Each image part was converted to mesh. The USP of Spine animation software is how smoothly it converts an image part to mesh. In each mesh vertices are placed to define how we want to move the character. Bones are created to help the mesh move and provide fine-tuned control. It is these vertices which can be moved.

MARCH 1, 2023

The more polygons that an object has, the more detailed it appears, but high numbers of polygons demand more computing power. The polygon layout, or topology, of these items must be planned efficiently and created in advance to minimize the number of polygons and generate objects of the highest grade.

What is Level of Detail (LOD) in 3D Modeling? | Techniques & software

CG Spectrum

FEBRUARY 1, 2023

It helps reduce the amount of detail by simplifying polygons and textures as they get further away from the camera. Here are three software programs used in 3D modeling for creating LOD models: Unreal Engine Unreal Engine has the built-in functionality to automatically create LODs out of the textures you use, which saves a lot of time.

FEBRUARY 23, 2023

The world of game development has seen a significant shift with the recent release of Unreal Engine 5, which promises to bring an unprecedented level of realism and interactivity to gaming experiences. With this new iteration, there are several key factors that distinguish Unreal Engine 5 from its predecessor, Unreal Engine 4.

A very common request, though, was the ability to do custom mesh deformation based on the same bones used to animate separate parts. Of course, compared to dedicated software, this workflow has the huge advantage that nodes are fully accessible within the engine, allowing to mix them up with particles, shaders, other nodes (i.e.
