Re: Star Wars (Respawn Entertainment) - Art Test
@Orbit It's actually part of the model! It's just a simple cylinder with an emissive material applied to it. The saber effect wasn't required for the test, but I thought I'd add it for one of my shots. I did the same exact thing with my Kenobi Lightsaber Build as well. @sacboi Thank you so much for the kind words! Yes.… -
Re: Weird..awful shadowmaps
hard to tell without screens, but it does sound like you are getting some overlapping issues in your lightmap. not sure how maya exports things but did you double check in the static mesh editor that there is actually a map in the 1 coordinate? (toggling the UV layout button will confirm, switching to 0 should be your… -
Re: Monthly Community Noob Challenge September 2014 (23)
If you want lightmaps and don´t have premade lightmap UVs you can enable the "Generate Lightmap UV" Checkbox in the import settings of the mesh. :) I can upload some more images this evening when i´m at my home computer, but here is a quick texture mashup out of my dropbox folder. This image contains all of the used… -
Re: Monthly Noob Environment Challenge 2
Ok, sooo, here's my progression... still issue with normal maps and lightmaps, but anyway i have to make them by my hand, and not using the automatic tool of UDK... the problem is: How? Guys, how do you make a lightmap of a cube? and of a cylynder? I know that it must be in 0-1 uv space, that must include all the faces and… -
Re: Interiors too dark
Make sure sky has CastShadow false. Usually also AcceptLights, though it depends on your material. Do not use the moveable one indeed. That one does not create lightmaps I believe, thus that is your difference in size. Lightmaps. The moveable one also does not create bounced lighting. 850 MB is huge for a level. The… -
Re: vertex color
lightmaps are surely the best you can get currently in terms of lighting, because it happens offline it can be insanely detailed (radiosity, caustics...) the downer is that they are static and not to be altered quickly/easily on runtime. though I am sure in a year or two the per pixel lighting will get even faster and move… -
Re: Unreal or CRYEngine ?
It depends on several different factors, though if you want to use your game commercially in any way, that almost definitely rules out CryEngine. CryEngine is great for open, outdoor environments. It is all realtime, not requiring large lightmaps that take a very long time to bake. You can import a model, set up a… -
Re: Monthly Community Noob Challenge November 2013 (13)
@alecchalmers Ok. Let me get this straight. It's myth, and I see it still circulating around internet. There is no static Mesh Instancing inside Unreal. Only instanced meshes are Foliage ones (the ones you put in level using Foliage tool). It is because of Lightmass nad Lightmaps, I don't know every technical detail, but… -
Re: Wierd lighting in source and i have no idea what I'm doing
Ooof. That throws out that theory. Well then, there shouldn't be any problems with the texture map then. To return to the possibility that there may be unwelded verts? Revisit the mesh. If it's not that, then it might be the lightmap. Does source need lightmapped models? If you have a lightmap UVs, make sure there's enough… -
Re: [UE4] Swamp Lodge - FINISHED
@gabrielgarga Thank you! :blush: @EliasWick Thank you so much! I'm using lightmaps here, I have one quite dim directional light coming from above and then a skylight. In the previous picture I actually had some problems with baking the lightmap of the main lodge but managed to solve those. Here's some more recent shots. I…
