I didn’t know that UDK3 was free, figured it was still being paid for. I’m not the type to knock anything until I’ve tried it for myself or at least researched it enough to find enough proof otherwise and such. I’m curious as to what kind of responses you’ll get so I’m going to subscribe to this thread (even though this thread is in the wrong forum I’m pretty sure). As far as blown up textures, I’m having the same problem just taking ZBrush textures into Maya and rendering. It also has 3DS Max and Maya streamlining, from what I understand. It’s a very powerful engine that offers freedom of creativity. This game engine is free for independent game developers. I don’t know much yet but what I do know is that Unreal Engine 3 is the same engine used to create games like Mass Effect, Gears of War, and Bioshock. I’ve actually just started looking into this myself. On the other hand i’ve also been told that most devs and artists for such things use several programs in conjunction to make things happen as just one program isn’t enough to pipeline it which from everything i’ve read to try to figure out more seemed a bit dodgey and barely helpful but I’m still in that beginner to intermediate learning stage where I’m looking for advice and help on this stuff from people who’ve been doing similar things alot longer.ĭoes anyone have any input on this all? And Thanks!

I know it takes a heck of a lot of time and learning and I know it definitely won’t happen overnight but I just don’t want to waste my time learning a program if it isn’t going to be of use to me and I would rather stick to what will be best. What i’m aiming for is being able to learn to use whatever necessary programs to help me create an awesome video game. Perhaps maybe I’m not making the model right or something and painting it in sculptris that could’ve caused this? Originally the texture didn’t work when imported and I read in the unity forums that Unity 3d doesn’t recognize the uv and bump maps but then I realized after some research that I could manually export them and get it to work but it was still the same issue so I ended up using Genetica and Photoshop to make my own custom and more realistic textures versus painting it but it’s still been a bit frustrating because I’ve been having trouble making textures seamless but i’ll figure that out fully and eventually. The model looked fine, however, the painted texture did not. I was able to export it and import it straight into Unity 3d but I noticed that the model was extremely blurry and crappy looking after I applied the painted texture from Sculptris and now i’m wondering if i’ll have the same problem when working with zBrush. My problem is that I’ve made some models in Sculptris and then I painted them etc. I’m currently working with Unity 3d since it seemed like the better choice and I’ve had it alot longer and I am more experienced with it. Now what i’m most interested in is putting a video game together and I currently have both Unity 3d and Shiva 3d just because I was going to test them both out. It all ultimately became very discouraging and extremely frusterating especially since i’m a very visual learner and it didn’t help that alot of the videos and picture tutorials for alot of these softwares seemed out of date and almost non-exhistant and not teaching a beginner like myself and I felt pretty much lost in most of it and I don’t like to read much unless it has pictures in it. To my understanding and from what I fooled around with mudbox is very similar sculptris/zbrush in sculpting your models which is more fluid and better for easier control whereas blender and 3ds max it seemed like you had to do more do this to do that to create this shape out of that shape then tweak this and that across this and that just to get some shape as a mesh. I previously tried the latest versions blender, mudbox, and 3ds max.

I’m a bit new and have been learning sculptris which I love and it has since made me want to move more into learning zbrush because of the ease of use and I figured zbrush itself offers even more from what I’m seeing and liking so far. Okay everyone heres my question and problem,
