We can either wait to get APB never released or we can make our own, there is n o promotion here. We only want to let people know that there are people willing to recreate and take actions.

So far you've taken 3 weeks to make something that would take most 3D artists 20 minutes to make. Since APB took a bunch of talented people 5 years to make, if you stay at your current rate, you'll be done in 7,000+ years. Even if you speed up, the moment you get anywhere close to release the IP holder of APB can just sue you and force you to close down. Doesn't sound worth it to me.

До сих пор вам потребовалось 3 недели, чтобы сделать то, на что у большинства 3D-художников ушло бы 20 минут. Поскольку на создание APB у группы талантливых людей ушло 5 лет, если вы останетесь в своем нынешнем темпе, вы закончите через 7000 с лишним лет. Даже если вы ускоритесь, в тот момент, когда вы приблизитесь к освобождению владельца интеллектуальной собственности APB, он может просто подать на вас в суд и заставить вас закрыться. Мне кажется, оно того не стоит. Wrong opinion, in those years on Alpha UE3 everything was programmed in C ++ and then a lot of resources were required, as well as development costs. Now there are other technologies that speed up the process. Here is an example Customizing a character. The meaning of his work is applying alpha masks in layers through the "render target" with the use of a "virtual texture" which is then mixed with the main one. This texture is then mapped onto the character itself via a UV map using a planar or cylindrical projection. This can be done without programming code using "Blueprint" without C++ programming. The new engine has a lot of possibilities, you just need to know it a little and imagine how it will work. If you don’t feel like developing all this to the engine, there is already a plug-in that will recreate the same customization, pay for the license and build locations for the already customized project ahead.

I know im wont make the perfect replica or get anywhere close to it. Those 3 weeks were spent with no prior knowledge of either unreal engine or 3d modelling, i would say thats quite the progress. You are comparing a dog to an elephant. How will they sue me if i dont even use any of their assets, use any of their code, textures and anything but Inspiration. You cant just sue anyone whos Inspired by your work just because you feel like it. ABAP is a programming language by the way if you meant the similarity between those lines. You are making it look like as if im stealing something that doesnt belong to me. Thats not worth it no, i just do it for fun and the experience. Cheers Overload Oh ,i almost forgot, i dont even want to remake that city anymore. It felt way to boring so im making my own ;).

Sounds like admission of trying to make a game with the IP (that he doesn't own) to me. Just like how you can't legally make a Pokémon game without permission even if everything is new. Merged.

Thank you for sharing my point of view. With such opportunities and a team with funding, LO could have created a new APB for a long time, but for some reason this is not happening. It took a maximum of 2 years to develop the game... So about the art, I didn't use a plug-in for my project, but created the customization system myself. This is how the working principle looks like. Merged. On 7/31/2022 at 5:35 AM, StunStick said: What OP has shown (at least from what I can see) is essentially all art, but I see your point. Catomization system in my UE4 project Merged. Now I transfer all the developments to UE5, if you didn’t see in the last post how it looks on the new generation, I’ll repeat myself a little. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also write music for the game myself =D she plays in the video, I have a lot of albums from different years, which clearly fit the urban style.
