Re: Monthly Environment Art Challenge - July & August 2017 (49)
Here are some progress screens, had fun making the house using "modular" pieces, now to figure out the roof. I was thinking that the roof tiles would be instanced meshes in unreal, is that a good idea? Been actually experimenting in unreal engine, testing the lightmaps, I'm getting seams and been reading up but I cant help… -
Re: Lighting issues
well the floor lighting thing is probably because of low res lightmaps and/or bad lightmap uvs. If the lightmaps are low enough you might not notice the artifacts, but once you get some more pixels they start to show up. Check the lightmap uvs on the floor mesh. Also do you really need to lightmap the floor? It looks like… -
Re: Unreal Engine 3 - MASTER THREAD
Directional lightmaps are 3 lightmaps that are computed with the normalmap, so you get something from your normalmaps with static lighting. Unreal does the same, it's not just one lightmap, but unreal can't do the ao stuff, gi, colorbleeding etc. afaik beast can create better lightmaps because of better rendering… -
Re: Using lighting in UDK
Yes. There is no "use xy amount of lights" like answer, you should use as much as needed. You should place the lights to the light sources only (as you said, sun, lamps etc) because the another part of the lighting (bounces-gi) will come from the lightmaps. Light sources in UDK can do both static and dynamic lighting at… -
Re: Baking issues, before and after baking normal map
Hi! Here are my first thoughts on checking the files: * Throwing the meshes into Toolbag and baking, I saw streaks on parts of the model, checking in Blender looks like there are some bad UVs. Aside from that, many UV strips are not straightened, this means more visible aliasing artifacts along seams/ edges, especially at… -
Re: Budhist Temple - UDK
The structure(and the lions) are looking great. I think given the complexity of your pieces, having such complex lightmaps is kind of unavoidable, which may be one reason why you see a lot of people make their modular pieces as simple as possible, using normals for the details. One thing that might save you some time, if… -
Re: Looking for Feedback: Gothic Ritual Environment (Unity, Bakery, Real-Time)
Works great for me. The yellowish glow makes for a nice focus / separation of foreground and background. The materials could maye be a bit more different regarding their glossiness, but that might be due to the lightmapping (are you using something for extra reflections, like a cubemap?). But even so, it's working fine.… -
Re: Normal mapping a simple box.
The default scene shot you posted is not using lightmaps. The shot you posted from you scene is using lightmaps. The problem is that if you don't weld edges of lightmaps together, the light won't bleed around the edge and cause harsh edges like that. To minimize this effect you have to weld the edges of your lightmap uvs… -
Re: Unity 2018 - Struggeling to get a decent GI bake/look
Progressive lightmapper works fine but sometimes you have to adjust things in your scene. I don't have your scene in front of me so I can only guess what might help. Your scene definitely has some sort of lightmap UV problem or lightmap scale problem. Check the lightmap UVs on your imported meshes. The tunnel walls and… -
Re: Common shadow setups for mobile games?
@Eric Chadwick One more thing - do you happen to know how most people shade dynamic objects when they fall into lightmapped areas etc? I've played a couple of mobile games now that have obvious lightmaps and fake shadows for the player, yet the player does get shaded in baked shadow areas. There's a couple of possibilities…
