Dominant light domination

barnesy

Hey fellow Polycounters,
I am trying to light some eyes in UDK and have some cool little reflections that are not part of the cubemap but the dominant light will not let me play ball. I can add lights ,which change the brightness of the model itself, but there are no spec reflections of the light itself

I was wondering if anyone could throw any suggestions my way please?

Thanks

Are you sure that your model is being dynamically lit? You should use a skeletal mesh and then enable character light environment for it so you get nice ambient lighting on the model itself.

Thanks Xendance!

Do you know how I would go about enabling the character light environment, I cant act seem to find a box for it in the skeletalmeshactor properties :S

p.s it is a skeletal mesh with dynamic lighting

try placing your character as a skeletalmeshMat instead of a regular skeletal mesh. These are the actors for cinematics and have the more expensive and better looking lighting model.
