Is there a way to set up my scene to use vertex lighting? I'm looking at building something to look like an early 3D game, but the modern lighting completely betrays the aesthetic. Is there a way to get the engine to render the scene use vertex lighting?
Hello guys im clicking all the interface around the lightcap slot in zbrush, to create a RIM Light. A background light for my character. Until now, i dont know how to make a light behind my character. zbrush r7
So I'm working on a scene right now, and out of the blue, issues have been popping left and right. First and foremost is my framerate after a lighting build. It just seems to drop. If I just toggle the light and "unbuild" the scene, my framerate doubles, not to mention it even looks better for some reason. I'm getting…
It should be a pretty regular problem but there are no tutorials on how to do this. A common problem would be a lamp shade. How do you simulate light coming through the lamp shade without having it cast the shadow of sed Lamp shade. An example is of this is my hanging lamp. I have a point light inside to simulate the bulb…
Hi all, I have some pretty image based lighting using a standard HDR sphere in Maya set up, and it looks great in a Mental Ray render.

I can have a light behind an object with shadows, ambient occlusion, and GI turned on, and the light will still cast through the object even though it's not there. 2. Spot Angle seems to be…
hey all, I'm having few problems with maya's realtime (viewport) lighting. I wanna use realtime lights rather than render to better display how my asset would be lit in a game. this is my first time lighting so please bear with the noob questions: 1. intersecting geo doesn't block light. the porch overhang isn't blocking…
It's basically how light works in the real world. Light is basically photons being bounced around a room and into your eye. Any point in 3d space is receiving lighting from all directions, not just from actually lights. If you had a sphere ball, any light being reflected by it is lighting being recieved at that point.…
33. Lighting & Rendering: 3-Point Lighting 3-point lighting is the base used in the majority of lighting set-ups for characters. 3-point lighting uses a key light, back light, and fill light.
