So I did a thing....

With a lot of help from the guys on the UE forums, I have a working Grid Movement system. You can't see the grid, as it's hidden during game play, but you can set the X and Y to whatever you want. It works with the Z-axis, but the grid doesn't recognize it, as it's a 2D Grid. I have a working 3D one ...

My Stage works across all usable platforms, so long as you use my cameras. Also confirmed that you can adjust camera up and down, as well as depth and have a near perfect alignment with the tilesets, provided the monster animation is dead center in my ...

Finally figured out how to set up UE for cinematic renders. Had to create a new camera, specifically in UE and "eyeball" it's position to get it to render properly. Still need to work out the kinks with ...

Inadvertently fixed the issues I was having with PBR textures in iClone last night. The spider anim was 378 frames, which came out to a whopping 172mb for the file. I trimmed it down to the base keyframes (64) and it dropped down to a more manageable ...

Another test I did last night. The Horizon Tileset Template is working, so long as you don't abuse the displacement of the mesh too much. If you do, you'll have to do some hand editing. The lines between ...

More texture work. I added additional geo to the wall edges, to keep the mesh together when sub-dividing. There are still places, here and there, where you'll have to hand edit, but I think it may be possible to have seamless walls, and not that black ...

Still working on the lighting problem. but put together a full tileset to test new textures. I created a seamless ceiling and floor. I think it's around 90k polys for displacement. The render was cranked up to 12 on the sub-d slider.

I am now working on the final build of the Tileset Kit pieces. As you can see, there are still seam issues with the horizon, mainly due to displacement, but in this event, it's from using the Sun node in an attempt to create a solution that prevents ...

Now that I have the Toolkit done to a point where I can use it consistently, I started working on new Tilesets to replace the old one. Here's a test of Harkyn's Castle. I was going for the interior walls of the Keep, but it looks like I'll have to do some ...
