Re: Nuclear Dawn Showreel & New Character
Kudos then, the volume looks very realistic. Next time work a bit more on color variation, and changing up the materials. It all has that very dry look, that comes from light bakes. Even though it was hand painted, it still comes across as if it was a barebones lightbake with some overlays. Try to get all the elements… -
Re: Mass Effect 3 Thread(Spoilers)
Conventional FTL travel is still possible, which is at least 100-200 times as fast as lightspeed. So for example Quarian ships will probably not be able to get home within a lifetime - unless someone manages to invent a better FTL drive. The Reapers were able to reach the batarian systems within a few months after they… -
Re: Star Wars 1313: Holy Shit²
Wonder why you didn't quoted my entire post eh? Anyway, deffered lighting DO NOT magically improve lighting quality, just make possible to render many realtime lights at once. No. But makes ligting baking stupid waste of time, as deffered lights do not have perfomance impact as well as take very little memory compared to… -
Re: Texturing Question
UDK generates the lightmap for this..it needs to know the UV space for the light..that is why the UV channel 1 thing is important...try shooting the chest with the guns laser...if you get burn marks you should be good...as for blender...try exporting the mesh without "write material" checked in the export>wavefront(.obj)… -
Re: [UE4] Project Lambda
Great job on the re-imagining of this level, you truly nailed the originals atmosphere. Now I want a full remake of this caliber. haha. Could you talk a bit more about your volumetric lighting approach for this demo? I was floored when you mentioned in the interview that this was fully dynamic with zero lightmaps. Any… -
Re: [ July Update] Our Ghosts of War
That requires meshes to be movable and also level should have baked lighting. We currently don't have any indirect shadows due to not baking the lighting. That feature relies on volumetric lightmaps. Besides that, meshes painted with foliage painter don't give access to that option, it's only for static mesh actors… -
Re: Multi sub object problem
well youve probably just got overlapping UVs. if your UVs are just for a lightmap in the second channel, go back into your 3d package (ill guide you as if its max but if its different its the same concept), and select all of your objects, go into the UV Unwrap. switch to channel 2, and with everything selected, repack the… -
Re: [UE4] Blackout Police Station
Small update based on feedback, mostly lighting changes and small alterations to the walls. I might replace all the wooden chairs with office-y swivel chairs, who knows. And the chunky CRT monitor annoys me too - it looks nice in Marmoset, so I'm thinking that it's a Lightmap related thing. Might chamfer the edges and… -
Re: UDK/Pixel/Normalmap/Moba/Sci-fi/Environment
That's pretty cool, the only problem I find would be the excessive noise on contrast heavy textures. Also, are you just going to use flat planes mostly? For example that pic you posted of the hallway you can extrude the side and floor gratings inwards (following the same scale as one of the large pixels) to give it some… -
Re: Best aproach for wall carvings/deco ?
Normally they are done with normal maps, but having them lowpoly in the geometry , having a highpoly too, and baking is a way as well. Light baking issues might appear though if you have them in the lowpoly as geometry, and the lightmap res is low, you are right. Expensive geometry is a misconception by the way, it isn't…
