How to create character models for games: 18 top tips. By Antony Ward For this sequence of tips, I hope to share some of the tricks and techniques I have learned in my 17 years in the games industry, with particular reference to modelling games characters at lower resolutions.

How to create character models for games: 18 top tips

You may think this is redundant, and are possibly saying to yourself: “Surely I just use the first division from my sculpted model?” Or perhaps you’re glancing favourably at your re-topology tools. These are all great starting points, but can only get you so far. Besides, what if you are working with a model that isn’t pre-sculpted, or perhaps is aimed for a mobile device? For those times, and many more, I hope these simple rules will help you as you work. 01. One of the first things you should investigate before starting any game character is your set of working restrictions.

Environment settings are variables such as working units. Knowing how the character will be used and what they must be able to do can have a dramatic effect on the model itself. 02. 03. 04.

The StaticMesh support in the FBX import pipeline makes getting meshes from 3D applications into Unreal Engine 4 a simple, painless task.

FBX Static Mesh Pipeline

When meshes are imported, the textures used in the materials applied to those meshes in their respective 3D application (diffuse and normal map only) are also imported and, in turn, used to generate the materials applied to the mesh in UE4. Features supported for importing Static Meshes using FBX: Currently, when importing multiple meshes with custom collision in a single file, only the first mesh's collision will be imported. The UE4 FBX import pipeline uses FBX 2016. Using a different version during export may result in incompatibilities. This page includes information on both Autodesk Maya and Autodesk 3ds Max, please choose your preferred content creation tool below and the information relevant only to the chosen tool will be displayed: General Setup In general, you are free to create Static Meshes using any tools and methods you want.

FBX Skeletal Mesh Pipeline. Overview Skeletal Mesh support in the FBX import pipeline provides a streamlined workflow for getting animated meshes from 3D applications into Unreal for use in games.

In addition to the meshes being imported, animations and morph targets can be transferred using the FBX format all within the same file if desired. Also, the textures (diffuse and normal map only) used in the materials applied to those meshes in the 3D application will be imported and materials will be automatically created and applied to the imported meshes. Blender to UDK FBX export Need HELP Please! [Archive] - Epic Games Forums. Hello I'm having a little problem with exporting Blender (FBX) Skeletal Mesh for the UDK, I export the mesh skeletal animation, but usually with several animations are all the same size EXAMPLE: Sword attack animation has 11 frames defend has 21 frames the falling animation is 25 frames but when I import to the UDK are all with 11 frames if anyone knows how to solve this problem please help me Thanks in advance ... using version 2.63 of Blender, and the july 2012 version of the UDK, sorry for my english I am Brazilian and I can not speak English very well had to use the Google translator ...

For the 2.71 release, we’ve been working on improving support for game developers using Blender with external engines.

Supporting Game Developers with Blender 2.71

To this end, Bastien Montagne has been working on a new FBX exporter, and I have been evaluating workflows to various external engines. Dalai Felinto has also been hard at work with Cycles baking. Below you’ll find some information on the new goodies you can expect in 2.71 for game developers. New Binary FBX Exporter Blender can now export binary FBX files (version 7.4). Smaller filesizeQuicker exportsCustom propertiesReal materials with textures linked to their properties (specular, diffuse, etc.)Textures can be embedded directly in the FBX file (instead of copying to a sub-folder)New “bake space transform” (only recommended for static models for now, though should work for animated ones too), which allows to get the same rotation values in exported data as in Blender, even though the coordinate system (i.e. up/front axes) do not match.
