Im very new to Unreal engine 4 and would like alot of advice I would like directions to follow and try so i can figure out for my self, like if a spline is the best method with another method then great, a simple example and ill give it a go as a learn and retain more by learning and getting over herdals.
Software used : Unreal engine 4.8.3
Blender 7.5a
Methods : Blueprints
so i have to design an interior scene with escalators and im not sure how i would animate the steps.
So my goal is to create an escalator that can be sized for different scenes, stopped, change direction of the animation. I have seen a procedural on similar but it did’t’ get approved for the store. and if so , where do i start ?
Additional Questions : 1. Whats the best way to create the escalator in Blender as one object ? or all as seperat objects, like the Railings, base and step ?
2. With the scene in blender, should everything be created within blender or can i create some things is Unreal engine, like the flooring and walls ? i know pillars and so forth will be in blender but i read somewhere that you shouldn’t use the internal unreal building blocks as when rendering there are issues, which i don’t fully understand.
if you have and info you need, please ask as this is my first scene, i know its big, but there is a reason to my madness
Thanks
hey, mid to end of next week i’ll have a little more time, and will send you the procedural escalator. you can reach me via pm on this forum for more info, or email me through my link in the signature of this thread. at some point, i’ll wrap up a vertical circulation blueprint pack and resubmit to marketplace, but in the meantime feel free to use what i’ve got. (i’m just really tied up this week, sorry!)
hey! ok, was side-tracked once again…will sit down tonight and figure this out. i had to fix a few things with the scale which threw off some calculations, but if all goes well, i’ll just post a download link here.
just a quick update, i managed to fix most of it today, but still need to wrap up a few bugs. probably on target to post this tomorrow afternoon. thanks for the interest!
Thank you so much man. Id love to know how you achived this, People always say to surround your self with people with more knowledge than you in th field you want to pressure. Id love to have a chat session some time and get some use full pointers and advice if you ever have the time.
