Lighthouse UDK

Fozwroth

So I'm pretty much finished with this mini environment :] since I'm not cool enough to play with UE4 I made it in ye olde UDK. It was a fun little project and I learned some new things.

Here are some screenshots and a movie (sorry about the compression, I tried getting it better but it didn't work out..)

Some textures used in the scene:

hehe thanks

The beam is much too solid and straight - it should be a truncated cone that becomes more transparent as it moves away from the lens.

The moon seems to be casting as much light as the sun would.

Fozwroth

Ah,should be an easy fix! Dont know if I will make the scene darker though, Im afraid it might get to much black in it. I can play around with it a little and see how it goes

Fozwroth very cool mini enviro! Nothing wrong with UE3 . I really like the wear and grime on tge lighthouse came out niice.

I really like your textures, Fozworth. I also like you skybox really much.
I think that the moon is abit to sharp and a little to big.

I also don't think you should make the scene darker, I really like it where it is at now.

Good job! Keep it up!

Fozwroth

Thanks! nah, nothing wrong with it, I just felt slightly behind since UE4 is sneaking up here and there ^^

Yeah it needs some tweaks here and there, will fix it up as soon as I can

Fozwroth

So, I got around to making some adjustments

It looks nice, But it took e a while to even notice that it was supposed to be raining, which needs to be either a lot more readable or done away with.

Fozwroth

ah yeah, you have a point! Ill look into improving that shader

I feel like the lightbeam could do with some less opacity/some "scattering"/have some more fallof on the edges/towards the end like in these images.

Now it kinda looks like it's shooting a laser beam

Fozwroth

Ha! yeah you're right, it probably need some more love lol. Thanks for the refs!

hollandje

wow dude your work is awesome. Just like joeriv said the light beam could fade out, it looks light a laser beam now. The rain could use some love aswell. It's there but it looks kind of odd. Maybe higher up the opacity and add some more white to spice up the contrast a bit with the sky.

Fozwroth

thanks, yeah I need to muster up the strength to do a final push on it I have already kinda moved on in my head to the next project but I will fix it!

Fozwroth

I Made some more tweaks on it. I have no idea where those little lightmap artifacts on the lighthouse facade comes from, I've tried everything I know of but cant get rid of them - its even a 1024 and the Uvs are good. If I make it dynamic I get weird artifacts on the mesh which look even worse and I don't really know why since the geo is good, Oh well ^^
