Re: Creating warm lights and cool shadows for an indoor scene; help with making interior lighting
This scene looks great! So one thing about lighting that took me a while to wrap my head around is that the color of shadows is determined by your ambient light. I'm a character artist, so my experience is limited to pretty simple lighting setups for presenting characters, so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt. When… -
Re: Static Lighting - Specularity + Stationary Lighting
Static lights will have specular in the form of a little orb at the light's position in Reflection Captures, but you can adjust the size or disable it completely through the light options. Otherwise it just comes down to whether or not the light needs direct specular. If you're trying to "shape" the environment, use… -
Re: Outdoor Environmental Lighting...
First, think about what time of day it is, and what the weather is like. Like Noritsune said, often late afternoon/sunset is a very dramatic time, lighting-wise. Before lighting, you might want to decide how your camera/s are going to be set up. Right now it seems as though the render is taken from a hovering helicopter.… -
Re: [UE5] Lighting help needed! Jungle Scene
Can you link the guide you were using, perhaps? My initial reaction would likewise be that it looks a bit flat and washed out. Could be exposure settings. I haven't used Unreal for lighting, so some of this might be off, but what kind of HDRI are you using? One for the sky or one shot beneath a canopy? Either might be… -
Question on Light Maps and Vertex Lighting
Hi new guy here. I thought I knew lowpoly but I guess not. And most of the time I do a search of the term in question polycount pops up, so i decided to join. I just want a clear understanding to these: What exactly is vertex lighting? Is it the same with vertex coloring? Could someone at least point me to a tutorial or… -
Unreal 3 Lighting help
Hey guys, I'm trying to set up my latest model in Unreal3 via the Gears1 editor. Problem is I never touched lighting in Unreal, being a modeler. At first i was having the problem that the fake subsurface effect i gave the shader was not remaining after building lights. Using a spot light seems to have fixed that for now...… -
Re: [WIP] Forest Path Lighting Study
Did some more work on this today, added in a second directional light as I only had one previously which was linked to the BP_Sky_Sphere and was mimicing the sun at night so wasn't getting any light from it. The second one I've used to give the scene some moon light, also been playing a lot with the volumetric fog trying… -
Lighting Basics and You...
3 point lighting is your friend. There is a lot of reading to be found on the intertron, but I'll give you the skinny version. I'll mostly talk in terms of Max however most of this translates to just about any 3D app and most game engines you plan on using. This is geared toward people who have tried to light a scene and… -
Re: Lighting setup....
MoP, thats a great read thanks for posting it and great suggestions also. There are a bunch of different ways to light a scene using just the default lights, not to mention the daylight system, and the other rendering engines that come with max MentalRay and VUE. Each of those have their own ways of handling light and you… -
