POSTED IN DAZ3D TO UE4

Another port from Daz to UE4. This time a guy, “Saejima”. Screenshots are from 4.19, so no new 4.20 features yet.

We started from G8 basic male and used various shaping parameters to obtain  an Asian looking face, then added some more muscles.

For making the normals and AO we exported high res and low res as .obj and baked in Substance Painter combined with G8M bump maps.

For eyes, we took some Paragon eyes, fit in G8M, imported in Daz, created a “Follower”, fit to our character, imported in back maya, fit again, because the occluder didn’t really fit. In short, eyes are difficult to adapt.

In Unreal, normals are a little bit intensified using “flatten normals” node with a negative parameter.

Probably, it can be improved more. Also, it would be interesting to check in 4.20.

Screenshots made in UE4.19 with an empty level, a directional light from the front and a spot light from the back.

 

Sake Bottles

I’ve remade the sake bottles in order to make them to look more Japanese (the bottles I did a couple years ago were meant for another  project and looked too much like European wine imho, even with the Japanese stickers I added). So I made some new model, some new stickers and worked on the glass shader to make the material to look more realistic. Here the result:

Sushi Bar III

~ Anna ~ Leave a comment

I’m still working on the sushi bar and I’ve made some progress. I’ve added a few assets and improved some old ones.  I made a new curtain (noren) for the exterior and remade the one with the maneki cat because I didn’t like the previous version.  I modeled some cloth hangers for the back of the restaurant and some posters (this part was easy thanks to some great public domain Ukiyo-e paintings ), a clock and some flowers.

 

Sushi Bar II

I’ve modeled  a few new assets (chairs, menu, pots, etc) for the sushi bar and it’s starting to look good. I would like to add  some posters, flowers, and, of course a chef and a couple of customers. In the mean time, enjoy these screenshots.
