Re: Lightmaps: tech pros and cons
Awesome write up Malcom. Just going to throw my two cents in here as well based off what was done for Reach. We used 6 different types of lighting. Dynamic, Vertex, Lightmap, Single Probe, Emissive and Uber. Some of these are lights themselves some are lighting methods, just main important ones I thought would be… -
Re: Temple of Crom Unearthly Challenge
have to agree that the lighting setup you have right now is losing pretty much your entire scene. right now all of your main props are pretty much all hidden in shadow and the bright white light is the only thing that shows up. I know you want to go for a dark/stormy feel to the scene but if you end up losing all the… -
Re: [WIP] [UE4] Teenagers Bedroom
So now we'll never know about that mystery light, dammit :P agree re the lava lamps - you could adjust the Source Length and Radius (if you haven't already) of the lights to make them tube-shaped instead of points, maybe bring down the intensity and compensate with indirect intensity for a softer look? Assuming they are… -
Re: [CE3] Midnight Museum Environment
Nice prop work so far! I agree with Luge about the hues, but I'm wondering if the ambient light color isn't a big culprit. About that ambient light - It actually feels like your key light. There's very little directionality in the lighting, it's very flat, even, washy, etc. I'd suggest pulling ambient lighting down a ton,… -
[Minitut] Bent Normals
Recently there has been a lot of people on google+ hanging out and screen sharing. Whenever somebody is baking out/using a bent normal map a lot of questions get asked about what they are, what they do and how to use them. I thought i'd put together a small bit of info on them and what i normally use them for. If you have… -

Re: Abandoned room Unreal 4
Hey Jon, thanks for the feedback. Some good advice there. I'll admit that lighting isn't my strongest skill. I'm having some trouble getting to grips with Unreal 4s lighting, you were right there was a backlight in the scene mainly so I could see while the scene is WIP as with just the directional light if you move… -
Re: [UE4] Sci-fi Armory Walkway
@Tzur_H Believe it or not this scene was my first foray into Unreal Engine, so I'm not sure if any of my methods are best practice scenarios haha. The lighting itself was not that complicated. I prefer to light in layers so I began with envisioning what some of the light coming in from the windows would be. I used two… -
Re: [WIP] Mythwoven - Final Year Game Demo @ UH
Forest update! A lot happier with this lighting and composition wise. This is just one area of the map of course ^^ Still working on polishing the tree foliage shader, want to get it to feel more consistent with my hand-painted stuff. I was originally going to hand-paint cards for the trees but due to time opted for this… -
Re: Jaguar XJR9
@KadenBurke yeah im not much good at lighting both in practice and theeory, i made this light only based on reference and video tutorials that car studios usually have some big area lamp on top of the car and i was trying to highlight the front tire area but the result kinda makes it look more janky so i stick to only 1…
