I know this will come up a lot so I will just say definitively that Pop Smoke is not involved with this rising storm sequel; there is no IC:V content at work and to my knowledge we don't share any developers. Separate projects. :IS2:

To clarify, In Country: Vietnam moved to UE4 but PSG ended whatever affiliation it had with TWI at the same time.

Material functions weren't a thing in RO2's version of UE3, but they are just collections of material expressions; you could probably replicate the relevant node network from one of the more recent UDK releases. I don't remember ever seeing the 'Blender' node before, but it doesn't appear to be...

Assuming you extract the character animations to Max, one could potentially handle cape / poncho simulation there and bake everything down to a set of unique bones. From there, you could export this garment as a new skeletal mesh component, with it's own animset to match each sequence used on...

Cleaner baking normal maps, cleaner to make future LODs? At some point, polys are probably just less of a performance issue for the game than texture memory.

I did say bones (say, using the 'show skeleton' option) and not skeletal mesh. Multiple tunics or arm sets, for instance, will play their anims in sync together, which would indeed be useful for testing skin weights. Unfortunately I don't remember hands and weapons ever playing along together...

I don't know of any way to view two sets of bones at the same time (overlayed?) in the editor. I think you would simply have to play an animation from the anim tab to check for alignment issues - if the two or more meshes share the exact same skeleton they should play in sync.

Which version of the UDK are you testing with? My understanding has been that the SDK is roughly equivalent to the September 2010 UDK, so it's possible you need to export to an older version of FBX? In maya I have to choose FBX2009 (for static mesh). We use the psk/psa workflow for skeletal...

Major props to TWI for getting the brewing system in place!

Just FYI, things like blood/dirt/patches will be layered on in-game, so yes you are looking at the base art. This is mostly a consequence of acquiring the images from inside the game editor, maybe with more setup time we can enable that in future presentations. It's also interesting to note...

good work harb, good work xD

I've always thought of the RO series as taking off from where Pterodon's Vietcong started, but to take RO3 outside WW2? I'd honestly love to see TWI's take on the Korean war.

Just want to say great work you guys! :IS2:

Things like grass are designed as easy to place patches which mappers can use in place of 'foliage layers' - throughout an entire map or just in critical gameplay areas. The player cannot turn these off. Placed meshes also allow better control over LOD / draw distance - so along with...

How about the UV map on the fence part? It's easy to accidentally alter or create unwanted UV channels in Maya... you can also run into trouble with meshes exported from the SDK, as they typically have multiple UV sets. You can view the different channels with the 'UV Set Editor' window in...

Is the problem that the barbwire mesh won't accept the material you are applying? I know sometimes this is caused by not triangulating the mesh before you export from Maya.

Congratulations you guys! :)

Yes. Look in in the Static Mesh editor, at the bottom of the 'Mesh' menu on the top/left - 'Fixup empty/bad elements'. That's the only way to deal with the empty Mat ID that I know of. Also, I'm fairly sure the empty slot doesn't introduce another drawcall, due to it not being applied to any...

Yep, getting the 'rogame.exe has stopped working' window on SDK startup. Renamed folders, deleted ini's, validating caches, no luck.

-Performance wise, the engine can cull / stop rendering small chunks of a building, rather than having to draw the entire structure every time a little piece of it is in view. -Mappers can re-use modular parts more easily, and artists don't have to go crazy applying dozens of shaders / uv-maps...
