subject:"unreal engine"

Guys, I just checked out the u4 docs. Apparently none of the hierarchies
will work unless we setup a 0,0,0 bone root that will parent all the
skeleteon's rig hierarchy. Absurd. But atm I'm away from my machine. I
checked it out on my phone. I just asked a friend to send me the generic U4
humanoid character as .fbx with all its bones. I should create a temolate
of this hierarchy and recreate it on softimage constraining it to a Gear
rig, let's see if that works.

Cheers.

Hi guys this is possible !
I've done this a couple months ago but the process was so convoluted that I
don't recall well where the thing hang.
If my memory is correct you can have a working one by plotting the GLOBAL
matrix and not the classical Local one. Then you can try a first export
with all the bones cutted from any hierarchy (all in a flat hierarchy just
under the mesh, this is possible since you've just plotted the global
matrix ;-) ) this was working.

Now the process to obtain a working one keeping the hierarchy is out of my
mind for now.

Unreal engine and softimage Gear

Hi fellows, I've been trying for the past 5 days to export the shadow group
(plotted) and my weighted mesh from softimage to unreal engine 4.0.9 to no
sucess with gear.

I animate the gear rig, select the shadow group, select child members, plot
animation, remove all constraints, select my mesh, then export .fbx
(selection only),(i'm not using crosswalk menu since I think it's the same
dialogue).

Then I drag/drop this character.fbx into unreal and importing options
doesn't show a name for the skeleton (import doesn't happen, import is
ghosted), so I go back on SI, uncheck slection only and U4 has the IMPORT
button enabled but crashes on import.

I'm really going nuts wih this, I can see the animation play fine on unity
(Rigging in Gear fom softimage to unity video there is on youtube). But U4
has me going really crazy at this point... Please help me.

Thanks.

bit of self promotion and fun use of the Blueprint in UE4 ( man I love this
system! )
Lately I've been developing a character customization for UE4 which right
now is in early stage ( also using the Species mesh as "Test subject" )
Main purpose would be to easily create NPC characters with a custom UI (
made with UMG ) and also shareable lipsync between meshes by extracting the
data from Facerobot.

Apparently it is used for some commands where you need to make a hybrid

Re: ot: unreal engine

Probably its my fault because I spent much more time on rigging, but one of
the annoying thing for me is the component selection ( vertex, edges, faces
) and the deformers. F8 ( or right click ) is just something that won't
cope with my brain.
The modeling kit is what I use quite often, but right now, if I need to
model something, I just do that in Softimage and export into Maya. Funny
thing is that, when using the shrink wrap, in Softimage a scan of a head (
2milion polys ) is done in a couple of secondsin Maya it takes almost
20 seconds...

I guess that in the near future I really need to start digging into all the
shortcut to speed up the workflow, but right now I find it to be quite
frustrating.

Hi Nico,

which aspects of Maya modelling are you finding troublesome? In my little

complaints with. There are also a few thing that we never had in xsi like
the multicut tool.

Re: ot: unreal engine

Hold on Marco,
There have been plenty of game engine dedicated plugins, including Valve
Source engine, Cryengine from Crytek and Unreal Engine Development Kit and
I used them quite extensively...
3ds Max was the "king" of game engine preferred software, but most of them
switch to Maya :-D

Anyway yes I agree...sometimes I think that Maya was created to test people
patience...has been 4-5 months since I did the switch and I'm still
fighting for some stupid stuff which required one button in
Softimage...especially regarding modeling...jesus...incredibly painfull

Martin,
In the unreal forum that was posted earlier in this mail you can read that
for those movies he only spent 10 minutes aprox for baking lights.

Re: ot: unreal engine

2014-08-23 Thread Tim Leydecker

the nice thing about the ue4 engine is it´s move towards PBR (physical based
rendering).

At first, this sounds like something groundbreaking (and it is for games) but
fortunately,
any experience with VRAY, mR, Arnold or Redshift, etc. will give a headstart in
terms of
how to set up a shader. The realtime and the offline render worlds grow closer
together.

Many of the current awesome ue4 demos make extensive use of mapping the
glossiness.

Here´s a good intro into the general topic of PBR:

http://www.marmoset.co/toolbag/learn/pbr-theory

http://www.marmoset.co/toolbag/learn/pbr-practice

That transfers nicely back into, let´s say Arnold, Vray, etc.

I´m not sure how easy it is to implement such a shader in DX9/OGL/DX11(?) for
XSI, thought.

BTW, the fact that he is using UE4 doesn't mean the final movie frame rate is
real time. I'm guessing it isn't, just like all the cinematics we see in games
nowadays, pre-rendered
with real time shaders.

Not the entire reason, but a big part of it is DCC apps must
spend a lot of time reading and evaluating construction histories and other
user interaction whereas
the displayed data in a game engine is stripped down to the
bare minimum for performance. Game engines will always be faster than DCC apps
in that regard, and by

As for look quality, it’s just a matter of writing the shaders.
You can do that in Softimage.

saying that this quality is achievable in SI with custom shaders? even with
that crappy viewer?

There is a short and straight forward demonstration on how to do this in 
Blender using the cycles renderer would you believe using it in the 3d viewer 
or the blender game engine. here is a link:

Introduction to Blender Cycles Baking

In my understanding and the little bit of research I did nearly a decade 
years ago – which was unrelated to Unreal – that was one of the paths being 
actively explored: baking a scene, and spherical harmonics in particular – 
which 
would allow to then have dynamic lights with radiosity in realtime. And the 
logistics at the time were a render/bake of a few hours and files running in

Re: unreal engine

2014-08-23 Thread peter_b

I’m no specialist at all – but it’s not because the lights move around that 
there’s no baking involved.
In my understanding and the little bit of research I did nearly a decade years 
ago – which was unrelated to Unreal – that was one of the paths being actively 
explored: baking a scene, and spherical harmonics in particular – which would 
allow to then have dynamic lights with radiosity in realtime. And the logistics 
at the time were a render/bake of a few hours and files running in the 
gigabytes...

Not the entire reason, but a big part of it is DCC apps must spend a 
lot of time reading and evaluating construction histories and other user 
interaction whereas the displayed data in a game engine is stripped down to the 
bare minimum for performance.  Game engines will always be faster than DCC apps 
in that regard, and by a large factor.



As for look quality, it’s just a matter of writing the shaders.  You 
can do that in Softimage.

Consider that this is a kind of tech demo, means that Unreal Engine 4,
being a game engine, is built to manage multiple aspect ( physics,
characters movement and logic, enemies logic, particles and so on )
The video shows how good is UE4 with lighting and "atmosphere", but the you
actually build your scene as a game you need to do lots of compromises...
Cryengine 2 was used as well for archivz and the results were stunning, and
lots of companies get a license to develop just that...

Alex Roman called he wants his assets back :P seriously though, will
believe it when i see it in game not in tests, this isn't a console, and i
doubt that even this generation can sustain such graphics.

Hi Nicolas, i´ll take a look at your video, my main concern is getting the
textures on the import, and not having to do the import of the textures by
separate and relinking the materials...

Re: Softimage 2 Unreal Engine

2014-06-18 Thread Nicolas Esposito

As far as I know the material is not converter, you have to create the
material itself inside UE4 but, when you import, it allows you ( in the
import option ) to create a material which if I remember correctly will
contain both the diffuse and normal map

Regarding the FBX export from Softimage I made a videotutorial exporting a
character using Species.

Softimage to Unreal Engine 4 <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kvg-EABdkfQ>

Anyway as long as you export a model ( you mean a mesh or a model as it is
called inside Softimage? ) it should work properly, it usually have
problems with multiple roots with characters.

If you can upload the model, I'll take a look at it and see what is the
problem ;)

RE: Softimage 2 Unreal Engine

2014-06-18 Thread Williams, Wayne

Unfortunately I’ve not updated to unreal 4 yet so won’t be of much assistance 
with the problem. One thing you can try is to download the latest version of 
Maya/Softimage trial and export .fbx from there and see if it comes in. My bet 
is that Maya is going to work but Softimage isn’t.  My experience in the past 
has almost always been Softimage is used for modeling/uv’ing/gatoring and 
another 3d package (max/maya) with more up to date exporters are used to get 
things into the game engines like cryengine/unreal.
