Re: Topology Help: How to Split Faces to Fix Choppy Lighting?
Ok an N-pole shading error - (a vertex where 5 or more edges meet) which forces Blender to average face normals across different angles, causing dark spots or "pinching" artifacts when using smooth shading. And here's a few options that may resolve the problem 1. To fix the Normals and Smoothing often, shading artifacts… -
Question of Baked lighting and games with day / night cycles.
![[Deleted User]](https://polycount.com/themes/polycount/design/default-avatar.gif)
Hello. I was wondering if you guys could answer a question I have with the matter of using baked lighting along with a day / night cycle and how it is usually done in games today and in the past. More specifically, I'm confused on the two concepts seeming to contradict each other. Baking lighting and shadows are supposed… -
Hallway Environment- Modular/Lighting Study | Real-Time Environment
This project was built as a deliberate learning challenge, pushing my skills in three specific areas: PBR texturing, real-time lighting with Lumen, and modular asset construction. The result is an abandoned industrial corridor where nature has slowly started winning the fight against concrete and steel. Visually inspired… -
[Full Time, On-Site in Burbank, CA] Digital Fabricator / 3D Modeler
I’m a designer at a prop fabrication shop here in Burbank, and I’m reaching out to this community specifically because we’re looking for a very particular kind of unicorn. We’ve posted on the usual IATSE union boards and haven't found the right fit yet. The reason I’m posting here is that we don't just need a 3D modeler;… -
Re: Feedback please for US diner
The assets are quite good, it is mainly the lighting which could be improved. I am missing a sense of light direction - right now everything feels very (equally) bright. If I compare the big LED light on the ceiling with the surfaces next to it, it has almost the same brightness. I would recommend starting with an entirely… -
Re: Why We Sleep - read this if you are sleeping less than eight hours a night
Interesting, didn't sit through the entire vid so maybe overlapping somewhat. Now I also think aspects worth mentioning other than physiological factors resulting from sleep deprivation are those associated with environment or basically a 21st century lifestyle which is entirely due to the profound consequence of 24/7… -
Light Bake Causing Bright Edge Artifacts On Sharp Angled Objects
I've been trying to track down the cause of this issue but have not had any luck. If I find someone with a similar issue on the Unity forums nobody seems to have found a solution for it. After my light bake, I get this pixelated edge that can be seen only at certain angles and it doesn't matter how close/far the camera is… -
Making lights fight
Hello dear artists For my first actual 3D animation I'm looking to create a scene where lights of different colors collide and "fight" eachother. So if 2 lights collide the stronger more intense light would overwhelm the weaker one and eventually destroy it. Since I don't really have any experience on this subject I was… -
Light brightness not affecting the viewer and more
I'm evaluating Marmoset toolbag for purchase and I've run into some issues... It seems that the brightness of a directional light doesn't change the appearance in the viewer at all. 0 or 100, it doesn't changel. In the attached image, the brightness it at 4 yet appears dimmer, If I lower it to 0, it still appears the same.… -
Re: No Lights, lit mode is super dark.
Lighting is probably the most underestimated tasks of game art while being one of the hardest to master. If you're starting out don't worry about mistakes or "doing it right". Experiment and have fun at worst you'll learn a lot in the process. As far as overlaps, I don't think it matters only that you might end up with…
