Foliage Lighting Woes
Hi all! So i've been repeatedly banging my head against a wall for the past two days trying to get my custom foliage model to light properly with the instanced foliage paint tools. Basically all I wanted to do is use a non-directional lighting mode and disable shadows on the foliage so that it will better blend in with the… -
Re: **Image Based Lighting in Maya**
If you have your MR set up to use image-based lighting: Render Options (Mental Ray)> Indirect Lighting **Environment**>And click on the image-based Lighting and select your image. Then go to Color>Batch Bake (Mental Ray) **OPTIONS**> Bake to VERTICIES> Then set the color mode to Light and Color. There are tons of options… -
Re: Need help with lighting sci-fi corridor | Maya-UDK workflow
In UDK, you would apply an emissive map to get that glow effect. You might still end up putting a soft light somewhere in there, but the point is you wont be setting up the lights in Maya. Basically you will be setting up the material to give off the lighting. See: [ame="… -
Light Functions
I'm trying to make a flickering light in one of my levels, but whenever I click on the blue arrow to create a light function it doesn't do anything. I've been searching around for a couple of weks now and can't find anything relating to this problem, hoping one of you might know. Thanks. -
Re: Lighting problems on plane walls
I did a production light build last night, and most of the weird shading are gone on closeup. Though when i zoom out they pop back. Do lightmaps have some sort of LODs? Maybe i could change to a higher lightmap-lod/resolution setting then? These are the lightmass settings i used: static lighting level scale: 0.5 indirect… -

What I'd like to improve here is the lighting of the map. This scene… -

Re: Underground German Hospital
Its kind of a crude paint over, but I think it might help illustrate some points. I feel like the modeling and texture work on this is pretty solid. It might help to refine some things here and there, like the wooden drawers could use more grundge to help match the rest of the scene, but thats a knit pick. Id say the… -
Shader FX One light support? (And other whines)
Im trying out Shader FX mostl, to just see the painting of diffuse and spec with normal maps from Photoshop. The default dx or phong render many times "forgets" to update the textures. That and the DX shader of standard material 90% of the time renders the object as unspecular phong, no matter my settings (this is Max 9).… -
Re: [Project] RIB Boat Grand 850 — Hard Surface / Vehicle Art
This looks very nice indeed! The biggest thing I see is there's no motor on the rear end? It might also help to integrate it into a photographed scene, you could potentially use one of the free HDRIs from Polyhaven.com, and learn a bit about compositing. The HDRI would also function to give the materials some nice lighting…
