I’ve been using Unreal Engine since the original Unreal.
It’s my engine of choice when it comings to anything ‘dev’.
Even if I do still miss/love id Tech 4.
I'm in the process of regrouting the downstairs bathroom and having reached that classic 'Ugh, can't be arsed any more' period, decided to try my hand at 2D animation over the weekend.
Previously, Tom and I created the single greatest hyperreality game experience known to man. Today, we raise the quality to diety-like standards.
It's time to take our awesome new motion capture stage and create something that could actually resemble a game. I emphasise my use of the term 'could'.
I recently compared laser scanning with photogrammetry for creating game assets, to see which would be the superior approach. Turns out, combining both might actually be the preferable solution.
Laser scanning and close range photogrammetry go head to head. Which will transpire to be the superior solution for getting my lovely, replica Tyrannosaurus Rex skull into a game engine?
Can you imagine a bigger waste of time for a game engine? Except for Alien: Colonial Marines, Lawbreakers and anything Peter Molyneux released post Lionhead Studios.
Our motion capture stage at Staffordshire University was recently the subject of a massive upgrade. One of the benefits of which is live streaming into game engines such as our beloved UE4.
Opening September 6th at The Spode Museum Trust Heritage Centre, this event invites guests to engage with the site's incredible and historically valuable collection of moulds.
I recently put together a small journal entry which explains some key lighting principles, demonstrated as predictably as ever with Unreal Engine 4.
Despite what my portfolio might lead you to believe, creating a compelling sense of tone, mood and narrative through lighting requires more than just chucking a load of blobs at the screen and hoping for the best.
I wrote one of these lighting articles a week or so back and a record-smashing FOUR people really dug it! Enthused and high on my new found fame, I seek to strike gold twice.
