[3DS Max] Lightmap + DirectX Shader issues.
Hi everyone, I am reading Polycount since a long while, but it’s my very first thread. :) I am struggling to have the lightmaps working properly in the 3DS Max viewport of a low poly environment I am working on. Every object of the scene has a Diffuse texture (UV set Channel 1) and a Lightmap texture (UV set Channel 2).… -
Metahuman rigid body physics on skeletal mesh - issue with retargetted animation?
Hey! So this is outside of my wheelhouse and I'm lost. I'm working on a character that has a lightsaber hilt on her hip, I want it to bounce and move as she walks/runs etc. I may be doing this completely wrong, but it's been working so far for me. I created the clothing and brought them in as different skeletal meshes and… -
Re: Advice on lightmaps in game engines
the workflow of making a "manual" lightmap-uv is fine. the "all code" solution prof means, basically unwraps geometry for you and tries to create huge uv charts for the lightmap. As we all know manual unwrapping cant be beaten, this is better if you have more organic/generic models. The automatic lightmappers mostly came… -
lightmap combining
Hey Everyone, minor issue here. I currently have 5 diffuse textures and 5 lightmaps corresponding to the meshes used for the Diffuse, however I need to combine all of the lightmaps into 1 lightmap, while keeping the 5 seperate diffuse maps. Currently each set of meshes has two uv channels one for diffuse and the other for… -
UE4 and Lightmaps... I am so done :(
Hey everyone, I've spent the last few good hours researching lightmaps for UE4. I have found some useful info such as: 1) UE4's compression algorithm for lightmaps is using a 2 pixel border for interpolation so you need padding... 2) Your islands should be (as much as possible) be perfectly aligned on the grid. 3) For… -
Re: Lightmap Density based on camera distance?
It sounds like you just want to change the lightmap density debug colours for your specific project? The "Using the Lightmap Density View Mode" section in the documentation below has some details on how to change the debug colouring: If you are actually trying to scale the lightmap resolution itself, remember that… -
Lightmap
Hi to all, in this days im trying to create a ME Scene Style, but i have problem for the lightmap. Without lightmap: With lightmap: Mesh with UV lightmap: Why when i activate the "emissive static lighting" for the "arrow", the mesh have a strange lighting effect? Thanks and sorry for my english. :poly124: -
General lightmap/baking questions I can't find a definite answer to
These are mostly general lighting questions that can apply to most engines, but since I'm working in Unity, I'll post here: 1. For all my assets, Ive just set them to generate lightmaps. After I bake, I get an error stating that 2000+ items have overlapping UVs. Though the bake looks fine. Do I need to worry about making… -
Modo UV editor equivalent to Blender 'Lightmap Pack'?
I'm getting my stuff ready for UDK and I need to make my second UV channel for lightmapping. In Blender, this was super easy to do because of the 'Lightmap Pack' UV unwrap option, which maximized texel utilization for lightmaps. Here's an illustration for those unfamiliar: (Obviously for a real lightmap I would increase… -
Lightmaps
Hi guys, I've started studying lighting in UE4 recently, and I have a doubt about lightmaps. When we import an object into unreal, by default the engine generates the lightmap uvs for us, so I was wondering, when would I want to manually create lightmaps in a 3d package? Can those auto generate lightmaps be a bad thing…
