Yes. There is no "use xy amount of lights" like answer, you should use as much as needed. You should place the lights to the light sources only (as you said, sun, lamps etc) because the another part of the lighting (bounces-gi) will come from the lightmaps. Light sources in UDK can do both static and dynamic lighting at…
Hi everyone! Since the release of Knald last year the KnaldTech team has been busy working on a new application. We are proud to announce the open beta of Lys - An ultra-fast GPU powered solution that sets the standard for generating Radiance, Irradiance and Specular textures from panoramic, Sphere or 2d cube map cross…
I studied it from youtube videos posted by Alegorithmic . They are all there. Sometimes too long and annoying but still ok . There are few things that covered there not well enough imo: 1. scale relations/primary input each node of several inputs have a primary one marked with a dot . it's where texture scale goes from one…
I've now added normalmap,glossmap-support and light attenuation to my shader, and fixed some errors. Its still not the prettiest, but I think I've learned enough to move further. I can post my shader here, if anyone is interested ? I'm now learning cubemaps and how to use them for reflection/refractions. And I'm stuck…

Working at the moment on a automated optical kerning solution that will build a kerning pair table based purely on the shapes of each bitmap letter. The first step is already done which was detecting with rays certain line heights (shown in red). This will be an advantage when it comes to non western languages as there are…
Having a problem combining 2 shaders. I have a vertex shader that I need to combine with water basic (part of Standard Assets). Can anyone help? This is the vertex shader by itself // Upgrade NOTE: replaced '_World2Object' with 'unity_WorldToObject' Shader "sidefx/vertex_fluid_shader" { Properties { _Color ("Color", Color)…
I want to try using the Wrap3d / Texture XYZ workflow on a head sculpt, where it auto retopos your sculpt to one of their meshes so you can use all the texture maps but I'm not sure how I would put the head back onto the body whilst keep all the maps and same topology

Ohh.. i didn't mentioned: i'm from europe and i was assuming something like "certified schools" for a big deal of areas and also 3D exists for other countries, especially the U.S. ; but it seems one can do a lot without proper training/education/qualification there but has to deal with any consequences like not finding…
