Epic Games Highpoly rendering setup?

mLichy · May 2009

Hey,

I was wondering if anyone knows how epic setup their render settings to get those nice looking clay type renders on their highpoly models? I really like how they look, and how they bring out the details.

For Example:

Thanks in advance :poly136:

i'd say since it's most likely rendered in max, looks like a skylight (for the ambient occlusion), a fill light (slightly yellow/orange, from the in front and to the top right) and a rim light (strong blue from behind and to the top left)... and a fairly basic red/orange material.

also, moved thread to technical talk.

Sounds about right what mop suggested. If not it would still provide nice results

That looks like Zbrush to me~~

Yeah the dark grey to black gradient for the background makes me think it's zbrush too

Could just be that it was comped behind the character.

The gradient is zbrushy, yeah... but I'm pretty sure that's a Max render.

It's a max render, might have been a mental ray render, probably 4 lights, fill, rim, main , back light. I think thats what Kevin was generally using when he did his UT characters.

I followed that one tut that was included in this thread and it produced something similar, but not exactly to that. But I would just have to play with the lighting and colors I think.
