I really like Kites PO, I think he has some great suggestions also. It might have a little too much atmosphere, as in fog/humidity. You could probably bump up the brightness a bit. Something to think about too, is that, lighting is a guide for the player. Where are you wanting them to go? You probably want to tailor you…
But if you apply the cubemap reflections to your customlighting/customlightingdiffuse, the reflections that are in the shadow of the main light source will be much darker than the faces that are facing the light source. The environment could bounce more light from the "shadowed side" and therefore result in incorrect…
I'm currently working on a scene where I want some blue ambient light, but the only actual light sources in my scene are torches and braziers. Is there a way to make the central marble floor ignore the blue light sources I'm using for ambient light? - Because right now the reflections of the light sources are unjustified…
Hi there! I've never made a blog post before.. but I wanted to keep going on this project and be consistent with it.

Thats why I stay out of fights here and give any sort illegal activities a very wide birth. I saw my friend get beat up by some bar staff…

Ideally natural light from a window, nothing with the sun glaring right into my face obviously, but at home and at work I really only use the light from my windows, when it gets dark I leave the lights off, just feels more natural. I cannot stand having a blaring desk lamp or ceiling light in my peripheral vision while…
Did I press a key by accident? I can't right-click on the geo or the screen. I use right-click on the geo to bring up my sub-object selection menu. If I have an object selected and am using the move tool, right clicking lets me move the object w/o using the gizmo.
