[SOLVED] How does one fake lighting hair strands on a surface?
Hello I'm back with another hair question! I've been using planes ( lots of planes...) to create the hair that is on my model. I like it but I want to know if there's a certain texture map and method, that would allow me to uhh add depth to the texture. Like having certain parts of the texture highlight to fake individual… -
Polys and Lighting (I'm very new)
Very, very new, in fact. A couple days. Well, I've been practicing on a spear in 3ds max (specifically this one), and after I'd made the blade, I noticed that the lighting was very weird and chiseled looking, and very strange up at those top four polys at the tip of the blade. I know next to nothing about lighting, yet, so… -

Re: Lighting problems on plane walls
I did a production light build last night, and most of the weird shading are gone on closeup. Though when i zoom out they pop back. Do lightmaps have some sort of LODs? Maybe i could change to a higher lightmap-lod/resolution setting then? These are the lightmass settings i used: static lighting level scale: 0.5 indirect… -
[Question] My scene doesn't light up properly
Hey Guys, I have this problem in unreal engine where my point light doesn't affect the floor of my scene, but it lights up all the other objects in the room section. If I change the material of the floor with the default material of Unreal, the floor lights up perfectly. https://imgur.com/a/B0yOeWt Any help would be much… -
Re: Emissive mesh Light directionality
That is not how lights work. Not even in ray tracing. In ray tracing or path tracing, either shoot rays in all directions, or towards the light. So the normal of the emissive mesh is not relevant. What it tries to figure out is that if a light is visible from a point or not. Imagine you "sit" on a certain point of the… -
Unity Area Lights - Always Artifacts!
Hi, Having an issue with Area Lights in Unity where they keep causing stray squared artefac ts all the time to the point of making them unusable despite being perfect for some jobs. The issues aren't related to UVs in that they spawn in different places as you mess with the area light settings / location. Often times when… -
[Unreal] Spot light not working [SOLVED]
For some reason my spotlight is not rendering. It's JUST the spotlight. It occurs in both lit and pathtracing mode. It does not turn on even when I delete the raytrace post process volume I have set up. All the other types of light actors work just fine. Since this is a new scene, I can't help but think it's a common… -
Re: Need UDK lighting/shadow help
I would boost it to an ungodly amount, something like 2048, just to see how much it affects the scene. If 2048 fixes the lighting, then you know it's a light map/ light bake error. If not, then we know it's something else. Also, can you take a quick screen of your second UV channel for the light maps?
