Gallery European MetaHuman Built from the sculpt I display on my blog's front page, this metahuman is an attempt running through the process with a European face. I wouldn't say it was any more successful: this metahuman exhibits the same errors around the eyes as my previous metahuman. The issue isn't as visible
Gallery ZMetaHuman A metahuman generated from Mesh to Metahuman. Originally sculpted in ZBrush, this was originally a relatively quick likeness sculpture.
Fun with Tech Art Fun with Tech Art – Pt. 2 We've been cruel to our characters. Now, let's give them the world's softest carpet.
Fun with Tech Art Fun with Tech Art – Pt. 4 In this post, we create a world transition shader for Nanite using sphere masks in Unreal Engine 5
Fun with Tech Art Fun with Tech Art – Pt. 1 Join me as I create some tech art in Unreal. In this post, we look at shader that lets us submerge, or dunk, our characters into water.
Artwork Current Lumen Mirror Reflections on Pascal Originally, I was going to explain the effect in the header image. I even had a part about the requirements I had for this small scene, but instead, I'm interested in the Lumen reflections here. These comparisons are from Unreal 5.0.3 running on a pre-raytracing-hardware GPU, so take
Artwork LiveLink Facecap to Maya This post covers how to get LiveLink data from Unreal Engine into Maya
Gallery Incense Tech Art A quick demonstration of blending panning textures applied to a small object. This scene is rendered in Unreal Engine 4 using a dynamic light to cast shadows. Unreal Engine 5 should improve this scene, albeit marginally. Lumen supports emissive GI, which should improve the subtle lighting between the incense sticks.
Artwork Unreal Engine 5 – Nanite and Water Nanite in Unreal Engine 5 enables far greater geometry density. When using this awesome technology for floor geometry, some of the older techniques for achieving visual effects no longer work. A prime example of this is the use of water puddle shaders. When using normals to fake geometry, layering puddles
