Unity's imperfect WebGL export is objectively more promising than Unreal publicly dropping web support in 2020 (not that Epic's web support was ever good anyway) I tried using UE4 already , learning enough to prototype basic game mechanics and build 90% art passed levels. I'm not an expert, but I've learned much more than a beginner.

We created 4 UV sets of each car and wrote a shader that swaps them. All of the moving obstacles have implemented different mechanics, that make player behave in a certain way. Adjusting mesh, rig and skinning needed a couple of iterations. As I mentioned before – almost every 3D object uses the same atlas texture.

In our last issue, we showed off the realistic fur our Lead Character Modeler, Pete, had started creating using hair cards and a custom fur shader. link] As Pete continued playing with the Blender plugin, the custom shader, and the hair cards, he got closer and closer to the realistic look of the fur that we're going for.

3D models can be rigged and then animated, placed as stationary objects in a scene by a layout artist, simulated or destroyed by an FX artist, and used for shadows or holdouts by a lighting artist. 3D modeling software 3D modelers use a range of software for modeling, sculpting, and texturing.

Moving forward, Joe will continue to refine and improve the look of the fur, adding a dither effect to the hair shader to soften the edges of each card. Next, Pete exported the hair cards into Unreal in order to build a universal hair shader that could then ultimately be applied to every fur-havin' character in Kristala.

Soon, Fede will be experimenting with our custom fur shader and working with hair cards to create realistic fur for these toothy baddies. link] Rigging / Animation. This sprint, Fede was able to continue working on the soldiers and armor he'd started, polishing up details and working on intricate textures.

Pre-production lays the foundation for artistic direction, ensuring that all visual elements align with the games mechanics, worldbuilding, and narrative. Bringing Characters to Life Rigging gives static models movement, defining a skeleton of joints and controls. Why it matters: Improperly mapped textures break immersion.
