How dificult would be to make Charle's game on unity?

Isn't most of the dificulty the amount of cutscenes you need to make?

All the webms I see are basically some cutscene until some basic choice, which would be some fucking basic if/else condition, then play another cutscene.

All this shit is trivial to code, and I'm 100% sure, like I can bet money is made on cinemachine on unity with some fucking store asset pack and asset pack animations.

So what's the catch?

Please post good cheap or free texture libraries that you use.

🧵 How good is Unreal for movie/animation making?

Anonymous at Fri, 4 Mar 2022 09:07:49 UTC No. 885543

I started reading about Unreal and watching tutorials, and what I gathered, is that it has a superior VFX/Particle system based on nodes, as well as Chaos for very nice looking destruction.
I am Blender user myself, and VFX/Particles is something that I struggle with, in terms of constant weird simulation behavior (especially Fire with it's weird shading settings and non-intuitive shaders and attributes). Also animating destruction - it can be done in Blender, but apparently it is much harder to do in a beautiful way.

But since I am not familiar much with Unreal yet, I am asking how good it actually is, compared to Blender, Maya, Houdini, etc for making movies?

For example, this animation was made in Unreal. How hard it would be to make something similiar to this in other software: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIprXeR23U8

🧵 self-reflections not working

Anonymous at Thu, 3 Mar 2022 02:42:15 UTC No. 885396

If I set my metallic to 1 and I have a normal map created from Painter I get a total black areas in maya (renderman) or equally bad, extremely stretched shading in blender (cycles). In real life these areas would be self reflecting yet when I try to increase the diffuse or specular depth amount it does absolutely nothing in both programs. This simply cant be correct. This is a tangent space normal baked from SP. What should I do?

Is there any reason not to learn Unreal for game making?

🧵 So, why I don't see a lot of people animating by sculpture?

This has been on the table for 8 years now. I know that game developers need rigged characters for games, but for common 3D animation, why don't people do this instead? To me it seems far more comfortable and efficient than going through all of the hassle of rigging.

Without references how should you try to make your loops and cycles, trots and walks, as natural,balanced as possible?

since references are not gonna be always available, and your scenes are not gonna be always some roto look alike

in fact, after observing how the references and models moov... how do you time and space your characters anyway so to achieve maximum naturality, balances and weight? from rotations to position, without always having roto available, how do you make sense of the required spacing and timing?

taking example of pixar or dreamworks and their, semi naturallist kind of motions which dont always exist in real life nor possible to get by roto...

whats the natural way of motion that creates correct balance and weight change in a character movement? a loop, a cycle, or just any sort of acting? how much spacing is correct spacing?
like a loop means the end point is equal the start point i suppose, but then there are then different types of emotion and walks, "double bounces",
what are their criterias?

I'm currently working on a scene for a short ad where I'm trying to make a block of 3d text appear out of a cloud of smoke. Here's my prospective workflow:
>Render the text
>Use the text as a smoke domain
>Hide the text
>Generate smoke inside each letter until they are full/solid
>Change the shape of the smoke domain to a large cube*
>Render the smoke dispersing into the larger domain
>Reverse the clip
>Fade from the reversed smoke clip to the original image of the text
*Okay so this is the only step I don't know how to do. Is there a way to simply switch the smoke domain to be a different object? I don't think I could use something like shrinkwrap to transform the domain because shrinkwrap doesn't really work on things like text that have gaps in them. Is there like a reverse shrinkwrap I could use to have the text mesh expand out to a larger mesh?
I guess I should mention, it doesn't really have to be a cube I just need there to be a flat face in the direction of the camera. I can draw a diagram if anyone wants.

🧵 easy 3d workflow for indiedev

Anonymous at Mon, 28 Feb 2022 20:56:23 UTC No. 885101

I recently came across this amateur made game. It's characters are something that even a low skilled person like myself could replicate. So it inspired me. I quit 3d because I sucked at it, the learning curve was hard and I just had no motivation to do anything because I could not come up with a project.

So I want to make a game of my own. I have a few ideas but for the most part I will adjust things to the artstyle. I am looking for a workflow that is one or two steps above this game because I expect to make 2-3 models a day and finish this project in a month or two. I already have some experience with unity engine
