Re: Possible to remove stored UVW coordinates?
you can also go to tools > channel info you can select the channel with the ID of Map and clear it, that will clear out the UV's. You can also duplicate your map channel - so if you need to make a 2nd uv channel for lightmaps or just texture blending, you can use your 1st uv unwrap as a base. -
Re: How do I cap a hole like this (it isn't technically a hole, so "cap" doesn't work)
keep in mind that a 2d plane will lightmap really badly. It's generally a bad idea to do this and much better to just model a face that is welded across the vertexes. You might save a few vertexes doing it the other way but you'll end up with a worse result. here's a article on the UDN about this kind of thing:… -
Re: [UE4] How to disable lightmass on terrain?
I'm guessing that regardless if static shadow is off it still contributes to the global light field (volumetric lightmap or sparse volume samples) which is used to provide indirect lighting for movable objects. You can make the given level using fully dynamic lighting by enabling "force no precomputed lighting" in the… -
Re: What is your prefeered UV unwrapping application?
Blender for seam placement, LSCM and distortion checking, and Modo for stacking, orienting in case of anisotropy or woven cloth, packing, texel density checks, and lightmap UVs. It's just a better packing algorithm and it's really straightforward and easy to hand pack a few big islands and let the algorithm take care of… -
Re: Unity additive scenes collision and lighting help
If you bake your lighting in 3DS Max/Maya/Blender and make a lightmap for each object then you won't have to worry about baking in Unity. Using V-Ray will massively speed up your render times at the cost of some pipeline setup in whatever program you choose. How are the Art sides static meshes with collides "unsuitable?" -
Re: Hitman Absolution - Hippy Environment - Recreated in UE4
Ahhhh! Don't bake AO. "But-" Nooooo. No baking AO into textures. Not into a texture slot, not into the albedo, not at all. Let the engine handle it. Let the lightbaking handle it or the realtime lighting or etc. It comes out much better and allows you to re-use all your assets multiple times without it looking wrong.… -
Re: Ram - how much do you really need?
I have 32GB. I routinely ran out of memory when I only had 16GB but it was almost always when working with huge CAD files in 3dsMax or baking lightmaps in a wonky Unreal build. 90% of the time 16GB is plenty but the other 10% can be very frustrating and time consuming and worth a little extra money in my opinion. -
Re: UDK player size console command
They won't go out of alignment if you just resize them all at once. And you're only changing the scale by 20% or so. That's not going to make much difference to the lightmap streaming. But here's a doc on the player camera http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/CameraTechnicalGuide.html I think to change the player camera height… -
Re: Breeched Firestation UDK Environment
Odium I think you should check his portfolio and what he's worked on before disrespecting him like that, very rude and immature IMO. Good start Neil, for me It's just pushing the contrast and sharpness, you're close to a finish and the prop is of a high quality. On a side note have you already done your lightmaps for the… -
Re: Eyes looking straight forward
KDR: yeah you might be right there, ill try smaller eyes Rick: I really dont understand how that could posibly make any difference what so ever, but its a perspective viewport with "perspective amount" turned all the way down in lightwave. Mop: yeah that does look quite a bit better than mine
