Re: Rendering out lightmaps for walk-around models
Lightmapping usually doesn't preserve high-frequency details like rivets. The UVs usually have to be unique for all the meshes in the whole scene, so the lightmap pixels get real large real fast. Unless you use gigantic lightmaps. What you could do is convert the normalmap into an ambient occlusion map, and multiply this… -
Re: Black Areas in Lightmap
It's possible that it's being caused by your lightmap's UVs not falling in a pixel. When your UVs aren't snapped to the pixels and they cut through a pixel, the lightmap sometimes bleeds like this because the lightmap is telling Unreal to cut the pixel in half, which it can't do. If this is the reason you just need to snap… -
Specular artifacts when baking lightmaps in UDK
Hi everyone, I've been building an interior trim set to be used for building levels in UDK. However, I'm seeing some strange behavior when building lights on these pieces. Here is a closeup of the problem that's occurring on the trim pieces. It seems to be occurring along the lines UDK is using to subdivide my… -
Re: Lightmapping + dynamic lights
No sorry there arent any extra lights or settings wrong, I saw this on the unity forums: "Yeah, the limitation Ethan talked about only affects VertexLit shaders. A vertex lit object, once lightmapped, does not receive any realtime lighting. We kind of chose this by design; using vertex lit almost always means "I want to… -
3ds Max Lightmaps
I'm quite new to 3ds Max and have been experimenting with a few concepts to learn some techniques I'll need for creating a game environment. I wanted to test creating a lightmap on UV channel 2 so I followed these basic steps... Created a plane and some boxes Created 2 colours lights - turned on cast shadows Attached the… -

Re: UDK Newb Questions: Lightmaps & Geometry!
woah, that's a 128x128 lightmap? It looks a little lowres for some reason (but not bad). I'd save splitting lightmap shells for things that are machined. Straightening your UV shells was the way to go, for sure. Another thing to consider -- make sure your UV shells fall between pixels. If the shell edge falls on a pixel… -
Lightmapping and characters issues
Hey, i am experiencing something strange, when the lightmap process is over, environment looks OK, but character materials/shaders turns pure Black. I am using unity 5.6, Using Enlighten Lightmapping, and character(s) doesn't conclude lightmap or isn't(aren't) set to static. any idea why this is happening? -
Maya Lightbaking vs Unity 3
I was curious if anyone has some insight into the advantages/disadvantages of lightbaking in Maya versus lightbaking in Unity 3's "shiny" improved baking functionality. Coming from my own personal experience here would be pros and cons, but I'd love to hear from people who have had actual experience with both. Maya…
