[@AadilSharifDotNetDeveloper]

Hi, first of all thnx for all the help / inspiration i get from your videos. I have had a ready hard time creating moss over rocks. I saw them in your videos but I don't understand how you achieved it. Can you do a separate video for it ????? Thnx in advance.

[@PolygonAcademy]

I used a shader that adds the texture to any faces that are pointing up on the Z-axis, this is the shader I was using to beta test for my friend, it has that functionality and a bunch of others in it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmGuZ3ubbcuDmM0

[@l.light_9]

❤️

[@Kuchen90000]

Can you do a video showing the workflow for creating textures?

[@PolygonAcademy]

Kuchen90000 will do soon!

[@1337skyfall]

hey man, can u make a tutorial series on how to create an AI for exemple a boss fight or something like this. It would be great cuz u explain very well.

[@PolygonAcademy]

unfortunately this is waaaaay outside my area of knowledge, I am mainly a game artist, I have no clue when it comes to coding or scripting etc.

[@neelparekh7723]

Amazing work! although looks like foliage(grass,leaves on ground) is missing shadows..Please correct me if i am wrong

[@PolygonAcademy]

Neel Parekh yea, i had to disable shadows on the ground because they are not static meshes and there is about 8k plants and 16k grassplanes lol unreal gave me a warning it was super expensive to have them casting shadows

[@user-rv8ru8tp7q]

Hello, great work! i have a question: how you create a ground? U use some extra soft like "world machine" or u just tweak plane by moving vertexes with soft selection in 3ds max. theme about ground creation and your pipeline will be a good tutorial on your channel.

[@HumiIiation]

Hey Tim. Quick question not related to anything; What kind of martial arts are you practicing?

[@PolygonAcademy]

Joel Norgren fighting with my younger brother at 12 years old lol. I wish i was tough enough to do martial arts haha.

[@zarakikenpachi1400]

I have a big doubt about modular buildings, How did you do when You have to create fences or something like this for all of an envirnoment?

[@PolygonAcademy]

Irensay you just have the fences be a seperate modular kit of pillars and fence pieces and place them where you want. 99.9% of games use modular kits for as much as possible, especially buildings.

[@TakiroLotus]

What song u use?

[@PolygonAcademy]

ah I cant remember, I found it in a compilation of music inspired by japan and just clipped it.

[@TakiroLotus]

@@PolygonAcademy oh that's ok. I have some design ideas if you're interested for future purposes

[@MrSam12337]

Ghost of Tsushima?????

[@PolygonAcademy]

SAMJY haha that game was a big inspiration for me for sure :)
