Re: Skate Warehouse
Few notes, I know things are very wip - - I see a lot of small chamfered edges in your later shots. Do a proper high rez and edge control bake and drop those chamfers like a bad habit. - A lot of your meshes could be better broken up and used modularly. Stairs are a prime example. Not only could you better re-use them, but… -
Re: Half Life 2 Remastered area
hmmmm I dont remember that spot from Halflife 2, it has been too long ago. But I would guess that it did look better. Not because of technical limitations like polycounts and textureres, i am pretty sure your stuff is higher res in all regards. But in terms of mood, lighting, shading. To be honest, your remastered area… -
Re: Static vs Stationary point light
Basically you can't get crystal sharp shadows with baked lighting, cause of the limits of the lightmap resolution. You can live together with that, or you can switch to an another solution. Lightmaps are used for storing the "rough" lighting, including GI, and directional lighting. That can come from various light sources.… -
Re: xNormal - MASTER THREAD
[ QUOTE ] The glow effect, some shadows, cubemap diffuse lighting and a new "parallax bump" effect will be added in the v3.5.0 [/ QUOTE ] Waoahahhaa! I can't wait! Also I really like the Cages stuff you added! Very fast and easy to use... although here I don't seem to be able to select individual vertices? Is that because… -
Re: Exterior Tavern Environment UE5 (FINISHED)

[WIP] The Complex
Hey guys, I'm starting work on a new environment in UDK. I'm hoping to push my limits and produce a nice portfolio piece in the process. I'm planning on using story as much as I can in the visual design. I got the idea from the video Blizzard made about their cinematics and it really struck a chord with me. I wrote a short… -
Re: [WIP] Winery Environment [UDK]
Maybe try to work in some wooden support "Pillars" in the scene. A proper lighting setup will help this scene as well, make it look more interesting rather than the flat , boxy look you've got right now. Right now the only small props you have are the wine bottles. Make sure you create some other small props to place… -
Re: Average dude
I'm no expert, but the shirt is better right now then the pants. It would seem that your shadow levels don't seem to match. on the shirt, it dissapears into blackness in the shadows, whereas on the pants, it's much lighter in the shadows. the highlights on the pants look a bit flat as well, especially on the very bottom.… -
Re: Arnold for 3Ds Max - Render to texture - Light refraction
Thanks! Doesn't really work for rim-lighting kinds of fx, leaves a bright band around the model. What we really need is programmable shaders for the real-time renderer. Gotta keep advocating! -
Re: Alleyway(Please critique-
It looks pretty good, but I see some things that can be improved. The Background feels a bit . . . off. It seems unnecessarily out of focus, and the blur effect itself looks kind of low res and jpeg-artifact-y. I'd recommend toning that effect down. Also the color/brightness of the sky and the color/brightness of the…
