Re: Lighting & Other
@fmnoor Just to clarify, I work in Lighting which is partly why I am writing up this & researching. I do not think I am necessarily undermining the lighting role, as in the past it has generally been a case of arbitrary numbers & colours to create the desired look. This no longer works in modern day pipelines, hence the… -
Lighting channels, weird behaviour
Hello ! Here is my issue: I am building a scene in UDK, and I added some small skeletal mesh of red papers hanging from a tree (This scene: http://24.media.tumblr.com/d711070f088552607e9f4547f62ddb39/tumblr_mijesgBQlZ1s6o4nio1_1280.jpg ). The thing is, with my ambient lighting of the scene, and the lights positions, there… -
Re: Gothic 2 monastery remake
Hi! I think ziz makes a good point, the environment would benefit from some more geometric detail. I would look at the silhouette of things, that those don't read overly low res/ facetted. Situations that silhouette the most would be probably edges/ corners. I think generally having more geometric detail around camera/… -
Re: Lighting Artist's please
I have not found many websites, but instead just reading sporadic articles related to film/VFX lighting and talking with other experienced lighting artists both in house and externally over the web and such. Here is some general workflow/tips I have gathered over my short tenure so far as a lighting artist: One major point… -
Re: Photo Scanning Pikachu
Plush is probably not the best choice for (detailed) photo scanning, as the deeper parts between the hair are obscured pretty quickly when you change your position and you'd need a crazy resolution to scan the actual hair. The overall falloff/fresnel effect caused by this might not matter that much, but could still play a… -
Re: Weird Lighting issues in max?
Using omni lights might seem like a good idea because its a big ball of light, but you can get yourself in trouble quickly. They also can take a lot longer to render because they shoot rays of light out all over the place, even out into the void which turns out to be a waste of time. Direct and spot lights shoot the same… -
Re: WIP Stylised Fantasy Character
Thanks Eric! Appreciate the feedback :D I'm keen on the skin colour, so I'll see what I can do with the body to make it fit. I'm thinking unlit colour with painted-in lighting for this iteration, with a stylised rim light like below. Just need to figure out how to execute it... -
3ds max realistic lighting problems
I have a problem with doing realistic lighting in my scene. The scene is simple street in which I want to put night time lighting (something like 5 A.M. lighting with street lights still turned on). I have a street and 3 street lights with quite a distance between them (same as real life distance) with one point light for… -
UDK Lighting issues
Hey guys, I'm working on a block-out of a basic environment and am trying to setup some basic lighting, but I'm having an odd issue where my preview/build lighting light is way different from the lighting I get in-game. If I build lighting, I get the normal lighting I want. If I try to go in-game just after doing build… -
maya realtime lighting problem

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…
