Re: How to AAA skill?
Like mentioned, studying/observation and practice is the key to improvement (I'll read "AAA" as "high quality"). Also asking for help if you're stuck, so good on you. I think the rough aesthetic is already there, but many elements look like guesswork or a bit random. One thing that stands out immediately is the wobbly… -
"The Maestros" Art Render Test Scene: Lighting and Set up help
Hey Polycount: I'm making what is essentially an art rendering test scene for the rest of the artists on The Maestros team.

Spent a few hours getting Swarm set up on my laptop, so I now have a little 2 machine render farm. Lighting builds go significantly faster! Initial lighting pass done. A little closer to what I envisioned, at… -
Re: re Using HDRI to light a scene
When you say light the scene you mean "sky" light or "environment" light, right? Because HDRI taken from photos usually doesn't have enough light intensity in what supposed to be sun area there.

Re: Lighting issues please help!
yup UDK generate unique uv's is like making a second set in maya. Never lit a night scene but maybe a dominant directional light on low brightness might give the moon lit feel. Lighting is a whole another beast :)
