Re: Titanfall 2's BT-inspired arm critique (Hard-surface)
I'd also suggest looking up stuff by Thomas Didier principal lighting artist at Respawn. I mean realistic HS content I've an interest following specifically over the last couple of years, especially for those starting out imho seem to invest more effort and time in modeling / material - texture quality...etc however from… -
Maya: How do you render a lights shadow to a texture?
Anyone have any good ideas on how to render shadows to texture in Maya? I only want the shadows and not the actual light/dark shading from the surface angle compared to the light. I've been messing around with Ray Traced shadows and the Batch Bake(mental ray) feature, but it's hard to separate the shadows from the rest of… -
Lighting doesn't build?
This is the first time I've encountered this problem and haven't been able to find forum posts relating to it. My build lighting message doesn't disappear after a light build, it's as if it hasn't built the lighting which it has. I've re-added the lightmassimportance volume. Anything else I should try? -

Re: Sphere Light Studies
It's not just a light study, it's also a material study. How rough and porous a surface is will influence how it reflects light. Other properties like having a thin film of varnish or oil will also affect it (because of interference). What are those spheres made of, and what lighting conditions are they under (like what… -
Re: Normal seam in Detailed lighting

And it isnt there untill lighting is baked, but when I vew just the lighting its not in the lightmap its in the detailed… -
Workflow for creating game levels: lighting first or texturing?
Specifically, for X-COM-like games that have isometric 3D perspective, tile-based environment and gameplay where the environment is mostly cosmetic and seen from a distance. I've seen some workflow that jump into the materials and texture blending as soon as the basic geometry is in place, reserving the lighting for the… -
Per Vertex Lighting in Normal Maps?
I generated a normal map in Max 8 the other day from two models, a high and a low poly, both with a single smoothing group. For the large majority of the normal map, everything comes through, but it seems to contain vertex lighting between certain points. I don't really know what's causing this, because the vertex lighting… -

lighting effect in ue4
How can this lighting shaft be created in ue4? I am aware you can do this with direction light but is this possible for a emissive material? and in this case it would be a point or spotlight. I have some lights embedded in the ceiling and they should have this volumetric effect. Or is this best done using mesh with alpha…
