Re: Udk or cryengine
At that time, I couldn't even say what CryTek were offering, but the UE2 docs on the UDN were pretty comprehensive. The searcheable docs GameBryo now has weren't available (FYI this is pre-Lightspeed where everything is still called NetImmerse), and the source code wasn't even completely open - some parts of the engine… -
Re: Free FX shader for 3dsmax viewport
Just been playing with this shader... its very cool! Its a great tool for visualizing things in the viewport! I can see the reason you put the AOMap in a separate channel for lightmapping reasons, but most of the time the AOMaps are just added to my diffuse... so I now have to map a white image in there... its not a… -
Re: Rendering abstract triangle in shadow maps in max
Thanks for the replies guys! I didn' know about the second option - I will try that tomorrow. I did try turning the faces 2-sided, and that seemed to resolve some of the triangles, but not all. Plus I need to shine light out from behind the mountain to fake radiosity, as I haven't got the render time/processing power to do… -
Re: David's Improvement Thread : CC Welcomed!
@miguelnarayan IT'S SO GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN! Feel like it's been ages!! And thank you so much for your input, it really means a lot. Talking about lightspeed development, your recent portfolio works are insane! Trying to follow your trails here :D Please do come back and check up later, I'm taking classes atm and am… -
Re: 3D Diorama - Dungeon Environment
Thx for the comments :) For the lighting question: 2 possibilities :) - I can assume the "game" would be on deffered engine, and so I'll make a real time lighting (in Marmoset e.g.) - Or, most probably, I'll use Lightmaps, in Unity. For the different color scheme at each level, I'll use different BRDF and Area Light. I'll… -
Re: [UE4] Speed Environments Thread
No worries, I thought I will be able to carry on this weekend and record some time lapses but can't look at terrains atm, need to give myself some hard surface happy times :D Anyways, if anything is up I will post it here. Thanks man, yeah lighting on landscape system is a huge pain in the ass. I'm using a static mesh with… -
Re: Light Map horrible shadows
Don't worry about it, glad to have helped. This effect is actually exacerbated by very high resolution lightmaps, as you can more easily spot the individual outlines of the separate shadows that together form the penumbra, so I'm not surprised lowering the resolution a bit helped in your case. Another thing to watch out… -
Re: [WIP] The Chop Shop
Some of the Ambient Occlusion settings are found in the World Properties menu. The rest of them are found in the Content Browser(I think). Do a search amongst the packages for FX_HitEffects and open up the UTPostProcessConsole. There should be something that has the properties for the AO in there. You usually have to turn… -
Re: Baking out Diffuse maps (for quick selecting in Photoshop)
since you are using maya and not max this might be useless to you, but in TexTools there are several texture maps to bake directly in the clipboard exactly for that kind of workflow. I often use a blockout map To figure out which 3d piece sits where in the texture, and of course AO, lightraced or other dirt alike maps to… -
Re: Where should I start?
@CLM: I don't think Modo/LightWave sees any usage in video games. Mostly for film/television. Could be wrong. By bane what he probably meant was stupid things like having to apply a UWV Unwrap into the modifier stack to unwrap it. Coming from Maya I was completely baffled by this approach as I searched for like half an…
