Hallo,
ich hab ein Problem mit der LOD meines Charakters (Grunt). Er rennt aus mittlerer Entfernung auf die Kamera zu und man sieht, wie die Haare detallierter werden und kurz vor erreichen der Kamera erscheint erst die Sonnenbrille. In solch kritischen Szenen hab ich normalerweise im Freesdk die "Config Spec" von medium auf high gestellt. Dieses mal geht das leider nicht, da diese Einstellung sich auf das ganze Level auswirkt und die sichtbare Straße sich deutlich ändert.
Kann ich den LOD des Charakters auch separat irgendwo einstellen? Mein Charakter ist ein Anim-Objekt zugeordnet.

Gruß Pixelschubser

LODRatio tweaken.

LODRatio tweaken.

Danke, das hatte ich schon probiert, hatte leider keine Auswirkungen. Ich habs jetzt anders gelöst. Ich hab die ganze Szene auf high gestellt und dann das parallax occlusion mapping der Straßentextur ausgeschaltet. Da ich nur Filme mache, kann man ja bei vielen tricksen. Ein Game würde ich aber mir der Cryengine wohl nicht hinkriegen.

Kann sein dass die BRille ein eigenes Objekt ist, dann hat LOD keine auswirkungne. In dem Fall ist ViewDist die richtige Variable.

Hi,
ein altes Problem ist bei mir wieder akut geworden. Wie krieg man den kreisförmige Kamerafahrten hin. Mit hilfe der Target-Camera kann man zwar die Kamera immer auf einen Punkt oder ein Objekt ausrichten, aber kreisförmig herumfahren geht nicht, außer man setzt sehr viele Keys im Trackview, das macht die Kamerabewegung aber unruhig und einen exakten Kreis bekommt man sowieso nicht hin. Die Frage stellt sich auch, wenn man z.B. ein Anim-Object bewegen will.

Hey Leute,

kurze Frage und Bitte:

Wir haben eine Custom 1st Personanimation mit Customwaffe etc.. Alles klappt im Export und ist auch im Charactereditor 1a funktionsfähig. ABER: Wie teilt man dem Mannequinedior nun mit, dass er diese Animation zum Schiessen verwenden soll? Da alles andere funktioniert, erscheint mir nur sinnvoll, dass ein manueller Eintrag irgendwo in eine Datei noch notwendig ist. nach 1020938946 Tutorials und anderen Forschungen kommen wir nicht weiter.

Hat jemand eine Idee dazu?

Danke!

Wusstet ihr, dass die CE das kann? Echt ein cooles detail

Ich kapier das mit dem abspeichern nicht. Ich lade die Forestmap, nehme Änderungen vor und speicher dieses unter anderen Namen ab. Z.B.
Forestmap laden -> Änderungen -> speichern unter Test1 dann
Test1 laden -> Änderungen -> speichern unter Test2

Das Problem, wenn man dann wieder die Forestmap oder Test1 läd, sind dort immer die Änderungen von Test2 drin.

Also auf den Punkt gebracht, der aktuelle Speicherstand überschreibt immer die alten Speicherstände auch wenn man unter anderen Namen speichert.

Seit 3.5 ist es so, das wenn man z.b. in einem Ordner Level.cry hat und diese Map verändert und unter Level1.cry speichert, die Änderung sich auch auf Level.cry auswirkt(jedoch nicht alle Änderungen).
Speicher einfach deine geänderte .cry in einem neuen Ordner, dann funktioniert das alles

FreeSDK 3.5.7 ist da

Highlights

• More features for CryDesigner, including a new "Exclusive Mode" to give focus to the Designer object you're working on.
• Several additional Flow Graph nodes based on community requests.
• Completely new AI Modular Behavior Tree setups, designed especially to help understand how the setups work. Four new example MBT scripts will start off with very basic idle behavior, with each new script adding on top of existing behaviors.
• Advanced watervolume parameters which will allow you to simulate water displacement based on volume size and object interaction (expanded documentation coming soon).
