Re: A better solution to 3DSMAX?
Blender, Maya, Modo, Houdini, and Cinema4D. Other then 3DSMax those are basically the only options as far as all-in-one solutions. Well, there's also Lightwave but very few people seem to use it anymore, and Softimage/XSI but development on that stopped a few years ago. -
Re: [Finished] Ghost Town Fogmourn - Artstation Wild West Challenge [UE4]
Wip #7 [More Houses Bake + some light tweaks] Made some more low polys: saloon, warehouse, well. Test substance livelink, powerful cool tool. Also made some light tweaks and test lightmap density and bake -
Re: Texel-density visualizer Unity3D
I'm wondering, if you copy the UVs into the second UV channel, and hit show lightmap resolution, wouldn't it just do a similar thing with the checker boxes? Your work does look kinda interesting though, could you post more screenshots? -
Re: Angel Statue
Just as a conclusion, here's what the model looks like in game. It took a bit of faffery to get the lightmap UVs working just right but it's in there. And here's the full scene image. You can see that the angel is definitely making a huge impact on the scene. :P -
Re: Light coming behind a door
A bunch of dynamic shadow-casting point lights are going to be WAY more expensive than baking a lightmap. You would likely be able to get the effect you want with distance field raytraced shadows as well, although that takes a bit of setting up. -
Re: Normal map hidden noise
3ds Max adds dithering by default. This can be disabled in the Preferences. It's helpful to hide banding artifacts in diffuse or lightmap or other non-precision bakes. But not good for normal map bakes. This thread is a good read on the subject: Of Bit Depths, Banding and Normal Maps -
Re: Sci Mall
Why isn't Root Bear a thing? Regardless, it's lookin good. You've got some pretty sweet architecture going on. And those funky shadows seem like just a lightmap thing, try cranking up the res on the meshes that are giving you problems. -
Re: UDK 3 Scrolling Material Issue
Hard to say without seeing how those pieces are laid out and their lightmap UV's. Might also have to do with bake precision. Hard to tell from just that screenshot. Check it in "lighting only" mode. Might give you more clues. -
Re: Just when you thought crysis couldn't get any better...
Yeah me too, not having to deal with lightmap UVs has it's appeal. For those already using Sandbox, how easy is it to make a light setup other than Time of Day and atmospheric perspective fog? Is that all Sandbox is good for? ToD + realtime AO? -
Re: Sand crap over my 3dsmax AO bake
I noticed RenderHJS's UV Toolbox utilizes Mental Ray rendering methods, is there any particular reason this is preferred over Lighttracer or Skylight bake method? I think xNormals uses a lightracer algorithm but i'm not too sure. Any info on this is appreciated.
