3ds Max Volume Light Renders Black
Not game/engine related, but I've never run into this before and I can't figure out for the life of me why this is happening. Rendering a scene with no daylight system, just two Area Omni's near the ceiling where the light fixtures are emitting GI. If I place a spot light in the scene and add a volume light, it renders… -

Question about light functions
Hey, I'm trying to use light functions to light certains parts of the scene only when the player is close to it. Through my research I've come across light functions and they seem to fit the bill but I can't get them to work properly. Is it possible to make a distanced based material for light functions?

How Lights REALLY work?
Hi guys, I´m trying to understand why what I see in the viewport when I´m puting lights is so different to the final result. In the image below you can see both. I created the spot on the table but after building lights the circle around is gone. And I would like to keep it. I need to create contrast between light but all… -

Tried using geometry as a light with a material but the result just isn't the same. And this has nothing to do with light particles but there was a tutorial I saw a while ago where there was a… -

UDK - Strange Lighting Issue with Player Actor
For a student game, we have recently imported a new character model from 3DS Max 2011 into UDK (2011-02 build). When in the game, the character seems to be having a very odd lighting effect that we've been unable to fix. In dark areas with low lighting, the model's textures seem to disappear and are replaced by a grey…
