Re: Per Pixel lit foliage and lighting
The problem with Armed Assault is that its a lightmap and soft cast shadow game, not full per pixel lit (ala Doom 3). So in other words, they can do all sorts of tricks with foliage to make it blend more into the enviroment. Light bounds in a lightmapped engine remember, so that instantly makes foliage look a lot better. -
Re: Sketchbook: Alan Mitchell
@reiro thank you for your critique I thought the lightmap might help but I guess that's not how it is done. :P ok I will get rid of the lightmap. I tried giving the grunge a story but looking back on it it does seem sort of random I will see if I can't address it. note to self: tone down grunge. -

Cartoonish tree in Unity
Hello people I v been working on a cartoonish tree for a project. I v followed this tutorial http://i.imgur.com/laoaSFM.jpg but I don't understand the last part : What do I do of my EXR lightmap files once its colorized? Do I use it as a diffuse? Or can I import it back to unity has a lightmap? I d like to emulate the… -
Re: Exporting an object from Blender to Unreal question
Merge the meshes into one single piece before export. Makes it easier to handle when in UE4. You can create a second UV map for lightmapping, or have UE4 generate the lightmap UVs for you. Make sure you have duplicates of the original mesh components so that you can make changes later. This is generally the workflow for… -
Re: Problem with lighting and foliage mode.
Helloo Obscura! thanks for your help man, really appreciate that :D I test what you said, but It put a lightmap on my grass, and I need my grass receiving dynamic light and the rest of my scene using a lightmap. And I check all the static meshes ingame and they cast dynamic shadow :S thanks againnnn :D cheers lucas -
Re: UDK - Blown out lighting when I add an extra light.
Try checking the properties of your meshes in the Static Mesh Editor (double click in the Content Browser) and seeing if the Lightmap Coordinate Index and Resolution values are set properly. Remember that Index 1 in Unreal is Index 2 in Max. It's a long shot, but these issues may be a problem with overlapping or dodgy… -
Re: A nod to the London based counters....:)
looks like a solid piece of work. Things i recommend here are, Adding a lightmap,if this is really for the nextgen spec.You need to unwrap the second uv channel and bake the lightmap with the occlusion in it. Add more definition in the diffuse texture,more dirt,leaking and variations. Model damages to the asset,as it looks… -
Re: UT3 Lighting and Light Mapping
As Kawe said, you need another UV set for your lightmaps, no overlapping there ofc. Unreal counts from 0, if you in max your lightmap-uv is channel 2, in UT it'll be 1. Oh and you can find differnt types of lights by going to View-Browser Windows-Actor Classes. There you will find the 'Light' node. All of the lights are… -
Lighting issue on imported mesh
I imported a custom mesh and copied it 3 times over. I rebuilt lighting and still it is showing a strange lighting result. I built my lightmaps on a different UV channel and they are not overlapping. Do I have to tell uDk to use my lightmap channels? Or does it auto detect that I have them. Could this issue be caused by…
