Localized lighting conditions in games
I'm trying to plan out how I'm gonna design levels in a game I'm working on. I'm currently using small terrain chunks bridged together by mesh sections. Each terrain chunk is basically a level which contains various challenges, encounters, puzzles, etc. Some of the puzzles include navigation through dark areas where you… -
How to properly light a lampshade?
I have a lamp with a lampshade in my scene. The lampshade has an emissive texture applied, and Im using a bit of the emissive to cast a bit of light around the lamp. My issue is, if I put a pointlight in the lamp, the light gets blocked by the lampshade mesh. If I place the pointlight outside of the lamp, the shadows are… -
Baking lighting question in 3dsMax
I am not very experienced or knowledgeable when it comes lighting in 3dsMax. Recently however I am becoming more interested in creating 2D textures by baking geometry inside of Max rather than using photo sources. When trying to bake a blend map of 3D geometry onto a 2D plane I came across the following issue: I used one… -

Lumenot UE ArchVIz - Deep dive into light baking
Having used Unity extensively for baked lighting for standalone VR and mobile games, I wanted to push Unreal light baking further for AEC / VR use but for PC specs. Goal was also to get as much clean result as possible without 10 hour wait and within 2-4 lightmaps. (Bake times 45mins - 1 hour) All lights are set to Static.… -

Re: Unreal Engine 4 Lighting Units confusing, issues Candela to Lumens
You can't really judge the light intensity by whether or not it looks correct in the viewport until you expose for it. It being white is expected because you're using a much wider range of intensities that need to be accounted for. You can increase max exposure value to something really high like 10,000 or just enabled… -
Re: Lighting examples from Resistance: Fall of Man
The lighting is too flat, imo. Particularly in the night scenes, there is too much ambient and very few darker areas. Very little variation in color either. Still, educational nonetheless. We don't have people specifically designated at lighting artists, but do have some folks that are much better at it. A lot of time our… -
