Re: A short explanation about custom vertex normals (tutorial)
I see the problem, but this is more like a lightmapping issue. What would be the size of this object in a game? Cause its like 2 meters tall then 16 or 17 is obviously not the way to go. But if its only like 10 cm then probably you won't notice it as a player. Does Unity use pixel padding on the lightmap generation?… -
Sprint racing limitations
Hi, having a trouble lightmapping 280,000 world units (standard 3DS max units, grid spacing set to 8 , 16. Standard setup you would do to make UDK levels with 128, 256, 512 scale factors for right proportions) At the moment scale in lightmap reaches to max at value 1 for any given object, the environment has 3 parts… -
Re: Enlighten In Unity 5 :/
This is a workflow we tried. * Import models into Unity, generate lightmap UV's on import when necessary. * Construct level. * Do a super low quality bake so that Unity does texture atlasing for the lightmaps and saves ugly lightmap textures. * Our custom OBJ exporter exports the level using the lightmap UV offsets baked… -
Crisp UDK Shadows
I have been using UDK for a while now, but I have never been able to get crisp shadows when building a scene. I have followed all sorts of tutorials on how to do this and they all say the same thing. Hourences basically says to, "Use lightmaps, and increase the lightmap resolution." I have done this for all of my static… -
Re: Correct Environment Construction.
Thiago Klafkes tutorial series would be a good investment for you: https://gumroad.com/unreal4environments# You are stressing yourself out too much about the lightmaps. If you do mostly squarish modular things like your floors and walls the automatic lightmap creation in UE4 works good enough for the most part. If some… -
Re: Newbie question about ambient occlusion
ZEROrhythm: I think you just described lightmaps (as in the sort that have been used since Quake 2!). An AO map in the situation you just described is just a lightmap except maybe rendered with a fancier lighting system to get bounced light and such. But I'm pretty sure the Q3 map compiler has had radiosity lightmap baking… -
UDK light bleeding issue
Hello fellow polycounters We have come to a odd problem with our UDK game, Well without custom lightmaps, our trees have shadowing errors, I understand that Thing is , now with a proper lightmap, our test tree gets an really strong self shadow, looking a lot like Ambient Occlusion at high density areas (leaves) and is also… -
How do you limit the emissive glow in a scene?
Whenever I use the emissive effect it will cause the whole scene to glow instead of just the thing that should glow. For example lets say you have a lightsaber since thats something we're all familiar with. You want the blade portion to glow, but not the hilt or the person holding it. The only thing I've discovers thus far… -
Re: Baking Directional Light Maps in Blender? Is that possible?
Hey, I am about to dive into rnm lightmap baking in Blender myself and I was wondering how your baking process looks - do you manually bake your lightmaps three times, one for each direction or were you able to automate it so that you don't have to? The setup I have at the moment requires me to do that manually three… -
Re: Quick question about ambient occlusion maps
It varies based on the game and company you are working at. There are 3 main ways to get AO that I am aware of. - Baking it into the diffuse - SSAO - Realtime AO that is calculated based on what is visible on the screen - Lightmaps - Either manually or procedurally generated lightmaps for all the static pieces in a level.…
