Modelling with precision - when blueprints aren't right
I have been modelling my first car for the last couple of weeks and I ran into problems with precision modelling. I took the blueprint, cut it into 4 planes and set it up properly (I double checked) but it seems that images are a bit off (the car is quite old so these prints might be not that precise). First time, I tried… -
Lighting suggestions
Hi guys, I'm creating some renders of my teeny little apartment. Right now I have two portal lights at the windows and a sun shape outside of the walls. It seems a little flat to me and I was wondering if anyone might want to throw a few tips my way. -
Re: Looking for critique on a fight scene!
Hi mythgarnet, Sorry you haven't received any feedback yet and I hope this isn't too late for the entry. It's looking really interesting so far! The main thing I'd work on is the read on Zeratul as the angle of the right leg is a little too short for the ellipse band on its thigh. If the angle of the knee pad was more… -
Need Lighting Advice for WIP Level
Hello! I am working with a small team on a game project in UE4 for our class. We are making a game based in a mad scientist's lab and I'm having a really difficult time getting the lighting to look good. There are four rooms in the level. My thought is that somewhat different lighting (or different light colors) will help… -
I'm coming back to Unity lighting after an exile in 2D and... hoo boy:
I am confused. Aside from dealing with this problem, I'm trying to come to grips with GI in Unity and to identify the suitable lighting / lightmapping settings for a metroidvania played from this camera angle... The game mostly takes place indoors and outdoors, with a timeline from 3pm to 8am. Ideally, it would be possible… -
Tree lighting and Normals problems in UE4
Hey there! So I asked about this over on the Speedtree forums, and that was really helpful, although I'd still like some more advice in general on this! So now I'm here asking you amazing folks about leaf normals, and how to get em right, and basically how to know how to adjust them per tree. Basically, here is a… -
Baking lighting question in 3dsMax
I am not very experienced or knowledgeable when it comes lighting in 3dsMax. Recently however I am becoming more interested in creating 2D textures by baking geometry inside of Max rather than using photo sources. When trying to bake a blend map of 3D geometry onto a 2D plane I came across the following issue: I used one… -
Re: Sanctum of Forgotten Hymns
Loving this so far! I will say, the dark background through the stained glass (that bright-ish sunlight is shining one & through) isn't helping at the moment-- as it should be brighter through that crack, or the stained glass shouldn't be as bright as it is. It's kind of a weird concept, as it's a ruin, so where is the… -
Re: photogrammetry rights?
I did not realize 3D sites had copyrights they held to support distribution of those models, Nice. So just standard copyright stuff that I know seems to apply, which is fine but I do have a bit more specific example as a follow up; What about public displays such as statues in parks. When an artists creates something like… -
Lighting Basics and You...
3 point lighting is your friend. There is a lot of reading to be found on the intertron, but I'll give you the skinny version. I'll mostly talk in terms of Max however most of this translates to just about any 3D app and most game engines you plan on using. This is geared toward people who have tried to light a scene and…
