Re: Huge seams after building lightmass.
personally id ditch using BSP. export the meshes you have in the scene into max (or maya or whatever) and build one floor mesh for it. you will not have any issues because of this. to be honest thats really the easiest fix rather than mess around with lightmap settings and such, and trying to match lighting between bsp and… -
Re: Lightwave10 or Modo ?
Definitely Modo for modeling/UVing/rendering + Blender (or Messiah) for character animation. Don't go with Lightwave for now as CORE just died! Many Lightwave artists are currently asking for refunds and jumping ship to Modo. Oh, and welcome to Polycount :) EDIT: Another option at that price range you might want to… -
Re: Light Maps with Modular Assets?
It`s the same, a lightmap is lighting baked in to a texture, you culd bake lighting in to you difusse texture too, with an external program or in photoshop, but most of the times it`s not practical. So a good rule for static meshes, modular or unique in udk is: make you uv channel 1 for diffuse and normals, overlapping and… -
Re: [P&P] - What Are You Working On? 2009 Edition!
looking really nice swizzle. cool sketch too, rens. spent last night putting together and lighting another room. much quicker now with flatiron. the days of having to bake lightmap after lightmap and stitch it all together are over :D also has corv's awesome new barrier props in there since it's a combat-zone. i'm not… -
Tiger Helicopter
Hi all, so for the last couple of weeks I've been working on the Tiger Helicopter for practice to understand game model pipeline methods. I started this model in 3ds max but the trial ran out so purchased Lightwave recently, so now I can finish what I started. :) Here is the main body so far, which I'm about to start… -
Re: Rage Toolbox - id Tech 5 - MASTER THREAD
^ pretty much. dissapointed to say the least but cant complain about free stuff. i dont see any material/shader editor or the ability to import custom models. i only see tga files and lwo(lightwave object file) files. it might be a manual dragNdrop directly to folder but since i dont have lightwave i cant test it it. all… -
Re: Sketchbook: InProgress
Slow update for this scene because I was doing a lot of trial and error to get a better understanding of lightmaps, modular pieces, and everything relating to UDK. I had to redo almost all of the pieces because I didn't keep the grid in mind. I've also been experimenting with the material editor. The decal is based on the… -
Re: Weird Baked Lighting Issues
Yeah I managed to sort it out for the most part. For one, I generated another UV Set in 3Ds Max for my lightmaps, as apposed to doing it in Unreal. Also, I just created a BSP brush that is over top my level, so any tiny gaps are closed. I'm still getting little shadowing errors though, even though I have no overlapping UVs… -
Re: Dream Environment
How can that second (the "baked" one) screenshot be baked in? You have a pile of leaves selected! It looks like you are still in the editor. If you want to maintain crisp shadows you need to change the lightmap numbers on your BSPs or static meshes - higher on meshes, lower on BSPs (because the lightmap is measured in… -
Re: UDK rendering issues
You could get good results with only lightmaps or only vertex lighting, but usually it's not all that simple. If you have a simple scene like the one above, you can use only one approach, but if you have a big environment with interiors, exterior, landscape, greenery, various types of lighting, etc. you should use mix of…
