UDK Point Light Actor Shadowing Issue

RogelioD · Sep 2012

Hello everyone! I am having an issue and would like some feedback. and for reference I am an intermediate to advanced lighting in UDK. (sorry for the noob-ish question)

So basically, the preview shadowing that is showing up when I have the light selected is not the shadowing that I am getting when I bake out my lightmaps. As you can see on the image.

Troubleshooting notes: I have Bounce lighting turned off. I have a working Lightmassimportancevolume. I am using lightmass. I am building lights on Production quality. Cast shadows is turned on.

Any thoughts?

thanks in advance.

Preview lighting doesn't show the bounce lighting. It's just a preview. I'd just use a spotlight instead of a point light.

Ahhh, spotlight. Completely forgot those existed, haha. Thanks for the reminder. Although, when I create the textures I will be using the asset for lighting through emissive. But the spotl8ght should give me a good approximation until I get to that point. Thanks.

Did you adjust the radius of your light source? It might be bigger than the lamp.

Thanks so much Computron! Somehow, I have no idea how, I jacked up my Light Source Radius instead of my Regular Radius haha Very Careless of me, but at least I know what it is ^.^
