Re: [Lightmap Issue] - Huge difference on lightmaps depending on Level. [Solved]
Hey Obscura, I almost didn't recognize you with the new Thumbnail or Avatar, whatever they call it these days! ;) I get what you mean. I recently started a new project and before I start creating the world I had to figure out some things and lightmaps were among those things. So I created a couple of small wall pieces to… -
Lightsaber Design - First High Poly WIP
Hey everybody! This is my first time on Polycount and I am a total noob to 3D modeling. I'm an aspiring Concept Artist but I've always wanted to dabble into the realm of 3D. I'm pretty new to all this but I was hoping that I might be able to get some professional feedback from here alongside my classes so that I could… -
Re: [FINISHED] Jedi Realtime Character - Metahumans in UE 5.6
I made a lightsaber! It was mostly box modelling and some sub div with a bunch of booleans and the low poly is 5,112 tris - not a particularly complicated mesh but not exactly optimised properly either. I spent some time going through the lightsabers in the Jedi art books and also in Jedi: Survivor just to see if I could… -
Directional Specular LightMap causing bad results with custom LightMap UV channel
Hey guys. This is an issue that's been causing me headache the past couple days. When baking lightmaps with the "non directional" option, my maps look fine. But I need to use the "specular directional" option in the end since I will be using spec maps, and the results are far less than satisfactory. Here's an image that… -

Re: Lightmaps
I use virtools too,and I just used HLSL to do lightmaps,it goes something like that: finalcol=(finalcol*LightLayer* 2.0f); clamp(finalcol,0,1); finalcol = (finalcol)*(diffuselighting*2.0f); finalcol *=lightColor*0.8f* burn; Last line is for depth shadow maps,but otherwise its modulate2x i guess,and i haven't really seen… -
Re: Abandoned Dacha Environment - Modular Kit with interiors
Thanks everyone for the kind words and the great questions! Let’s dive in. Working in VR is truly like walking on a razor's edge. It’s a technical hell where every decision must be calculated ten steps ahead. Performance requirements (high resolution across two displays + high frame rates) leave no room for error, and you… -
[Need Help] UE4 Lightbaking is deleting hard shadows.
Hi Polycount, if I let UE4 bake the lightmaps, it makes the light from the directional light soft. But I don't want it that way. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I hope the pictures represent what my problem is. Please help me! Baked light: Unbaked light: -
Lightwave 10 released
Right at the end of 2010 New Tek did something crazy. They released new technology. Lightwave 10 is out! We're 3 days late on this one - but I think you'll forgive us. On December 30th, New Tek pushed Lightwave 10 out the door. Here is some of what New Tek is saying about Lightwave 10. NewTek LightWave 10 delivers a whole… -
How to ? Directional lightmaps with 3dsMax/Vray
Hey ppl :) I'm in the process to improve our lighting workflow at work. Problems : No one here has really skills on advanced lighting technics. Also I'm a simple cg artist and technical papers are beyond me. I'm very sorry if my technical vocabulary is approximate and my post as messy as my brain. We need to stay "mass…
