Acer....'???????????: glad we're on the same page :/
Acer....'???????????: is that new city map yours? it's nice
Slappywag: yeah it is
Slappywag: thnx
Acer....'???????????: jw, how many maps are that far ahead that you've made? I'm only at 2 :/
Slappywag: only a few of mine
Acer....'???????????: ever release any maps for sf on source?
Slappywag: i made quite a few back in the day, released a few of them but never put them on forums and stuff much
Acer....'???????????: anyone of them up for a remake on sf2? that 2nd map of mine that i'm working on was that sf_sand map of mine on the island
Acer....'???????????: also, you doing your own texturing?
Slappywag: yeah i do my own texturing
Slappywag: a few of them might be used as concepts for remakes or something in the future
Acer....'???????????: i can't rmb, what modeler are you using?
Slappywag: i use 3dsmax
Acer....'???????????: my niggga
Acer....'???????????: i'll hyu later probably about 3dsmax. also, are you texturing in 3dsmax or in the UE?
Slappywag: i do the high poly model in 3dsmax, and use that and the low poly to export to substance painter, where i bake all the normals and stuff and paint it, then export those textures out and make a material with them in UE
Acer....'???????????: that's the type of info i've been looking for. thanks
Slappywag: np
Acer....'???????????: fo uoi
Acer....'???????????: do you have any tutorials about that process?
Slappywag: there should be some in UE4 documentation or somewhere
Slappywag: look up substance painter tutorials
Acer....'???????????: jw, how hard is the process of converting high poly models to low poly models? is there any issues involved when you do it?
Slappywag: personally i make the low poly first then copy it and start adding all the details i want for the high poly
Slappywag: but i know of other modelers who make the high poly first then take away detail for the low poly insteead, it's kind of whatever u are more comfortable doing
Slappywag: if u do the high poly first ur mostly gonna be going through the model and removing unnecessary edge loops/vertexes and all that till u ahve a really optimized model
Acer....'???????????: you busy? want to check out a portion of a model and tell me if i'm doing anything that I shouldn't be doing..
Slappywag: i cant atm i am a bit busy
Acer....'???????????: it's good, also. do you model glass on the model or as a seperate entity?
Slappywag: anything you want to be glass u make a model for and apply a glass material to it in UE4
Slappywag: it can either be a exported as a seperate model or just be set to use a seperate material, either way
Slappywag is now
