DoF Problems

Testing DoF problems with UE4. Their transitions between focal areas are lerps instead of actually scaling the depth of field like UE3. Currently working on a bigger solution, will post more soon.

New rocks for the short!

Late night terrain work. Setting up the final environment now!

Shot breakdown for a mini part of my short

So while my current job/life situation is keeping me crazy, I have recently decided to test certain aspects of my short in a 30 second video that hopefully will demonstrate certain skillsets and also help me test certain engine features. As a result I will be working from just one shot and got that shot set up yesterday. Here is a breakdown of how I got that process. (the shot is around 50% Lighting is not even close to started and I still have plenty of foliage to do, plus the robot).

More Work on the short!

Back to working hard at the short. Tweaking lighting and re familiarizing myself with some settings I changed. On the to do list:

Get my device blockout in the shot
Optimize some of my shaders down while retaining visual quality
Tweak foliage densities at mid distances to make the forest feel far more lush
