Mental Ray is rendering with very dark interior
hey there, I have tried many different lightss, renders, read tutorials on the internet and I still cannot understand why are the walls so dark on the inside, it's like only the direct light works. any suggestions? I need an outside opinion, thanks. Rendered with mental ray in 3ds max. -
Re: TexTools for Blender
Hi all and thanks the author for this brilliant piece of (free!) addon. It´s been working great so far, but I do have an issue when unwrapping a cylinder, then using the rectify function (to straighten the island) and combining it with set texel density. It creates a seam on the mesh as seen on the attached picture - the… -
Re: (WIP) Ue4 Bust
Nice work Johannes, yeah hair cards are tedious and time consuming. I can't wait for the day when real time games can run hair particle systems efficiently. Your Hair break up is solid. You can push it further by baking an AO map into the cards. Similar to a lightmap bake. here's a handy tutorial by Andrew Giovannini that… -
Re: The Annex - Boxing Club - Unreal Engine 4
Hi There, Thanks again for everyone's feedback. I've updated the lighting and tweaked the compositions and colours. In the end I've had to move over to fully dynamic lighting, as the lightmaps were significantly contributing to the heavy handed AO I had initially. It also instantly fixed the issue I had with the loss of… -
Re: [UDK[ SciFi Post Apoc Pub
thanks ya'll it is a bit cramped. i was a bit aware of it originally while blocking out, but I was trying to be mindful of how all the pieces fit together and snap together nicely as well as maximizing texture space (floor tiles are 2:1 ratio) so thats contributing to some of the miss-proportions. Thanks for the comments,… -
Re: Village Environment (WIP)
Unfortunately it appears to have nothing to do with the lightmaps, static light maps for foilage currently seems to be unsupported. Here's the link to the thread I found with an official response: https://forums.unrealengine.com/showthread.php?5474-Static-shadows-on-foliage. I can probably get away with it now by… -
Re: Abandoned mental institution - UDK
That's looking much better :) There doesn't appear to be much definition to your shadows though - is the lightmap resolution on the floor in particular set high enough? Failing that, you could turn on Cascaded Shadow Maps in the DominantDirectionalLight properties to get some nice dynamic shadows =) Settings of: Whole… -
Re: UDK light behaving badly...
I've been experimenting with this and I think your mesh is the problem. Try adding more loops along the length axis of the light, because I too was unable to get that kind of lighting with one big cylinder that I just scaled up. But when I swapped that one big cylinder for several smaller ones, I got that kind of lighting… -
Re: [UDK] The Apex Observatory
Just did a quick texture pass on the walkway to snag any issues with UV's and textures and such. I discovered that shadows won't render if the UV's go outside 0-1 space. And I ran into a problem with baking lightmaps. It seems like meshes with transparency won't cast shadows when using Lightmass, although realtime shadows… -
Re: My Year Long Trek
I'm getting super close to being finished. What's left: * Texture brazier & vase * Revisit various metal textures * Maybe texture a crossbow * Maybe get around to modeling a quiver of arrows/bolts for the bow/crossbow * Design decal for blue hanging banner * Tweak bloom effects on camera * Tweak particle emitters on…
