[Leadwerks and steam]

Just because something is distributed through steam doesn’t make it mandatory to require that steam is actually running to use the application this is left to the developer to decide.

[Quixel Suite!]

I have purchased every CS suite released and also multiple licenses but refuse to support Adobes subscription policy. Perpetual license or no sale.

I have a clevo i use for presentations and travel, most re-sellers let you pick components so its easy to build something to a budget.

[Maya LT on Steam!]

Highly recommend checking out the alternatives before throwing any money at Autodesk.

[Using animation from the crawler model.]

What you’re trying to do is called retargeting, I have no experience with this in blender so you will need to find a tutorial online to show how it’s done. To be honest it’s a PITA in any 3d modeling application.

[Leadwerks 2.5, specularity and gloss maps]

Upping the ambient light intensity would give you a better representation of how it should look in game currently.

I’m not a v3 user so I’m not sure what shaders ship with the current release of the engine.

[Leadwerks 2.5, specularity and gloss maps]

That first image looks like it’s using an imaged based lighting, I don’t believe this is support by the engine at present.

[substance engine]

Been working with substance for a long time now, it would be a great addition to the engine.

[Improved character animations using Smartbody]

I recognize the benefits of steam, but for me bandwidth is too expensive to have steam dictate when and how I use it. Should they remove forced updates and not block access to non-updated software it will remain a negative.

[Improved character animations using Smartbody]

Third party support would be fantastic! You're reliance on steam is frustrating.

[Looking for an easy model program]

Glad you're happy with modo tjheldna.

something like this would work.

[I need help finding resources for my game. Also looking for interested people to work with.]

Good luck with your project, site below is a good source of textures you might find useful to get you started for a modest sum and a few free ones as well.

[WORLD MACHINE!]

I first started working with L3DT but moved to WM after a project I worked on was using it. WM is not going to export trees and rivers for you but it will help you make the most realistic terrains possible using heightmaps.

[Getting started with Terrain modeling]

Take a look at world machine my tool of choice, The free version will get you started.

[Modo 701 Smoothing Groups]

I have no issues exporting smoothing groups, unfortunately I can’t give you any feedback when used in LE.

[Clip Studio Paint]

Thanks! need for adobe alternatives has never been greater.

[Preparing for December]

Would be interested to hear how modo runs in linux

[Future Leadwerks (Linux) user, my introduction.]

Welcome from Sydney area myself.

 

Post about other engines have a habit of spontaneously combusting,

[Free and payed 2D and 3D artwork coming soon...]

I'm sure his aware of your models Michael, but this is ChrisV's showcase.

[Rimfrost Logo showcase.]

From what you have posted i think a subtle animation of the logos glow might be a good area to explore. For example you could create a few different variations in colour and intensity and slowly blend between them.

 

csshat.com is a nice example of this.

You would be best exporting as a single .png and doing your animation in code with jquery or css3.

 

Greensock is my favourite
