Hey, all. I recently finished an environmental asset - a silo structure. It's little more than a cylinder. The uv's for the textures are mirrored left/right. The uv's for the lightmap, obviously, are not. When I put it into unreal it looked fine. Until I baked lighting, when I got a gigantic lighting seam right down the…
I'm trying to plan out how I'm gonna design levels in a game I'm working on. I'm currently using small terrain chunks bridged together by mesh sections. Each terrain chunk is basically a level which contains various challenges, encounters, puzzles, etc. Some of the puzzles include navigation through dark areas where you…
yup UDK generate unique uv's is like making a second set in maya. Never lit a night scene but maybe a dominant directional light on low brightness might give the moon lit feel. Lighting is a whole another beast :)
So i've started customising my Maya 2011 interface to increase my productivity and i've noticed i hardly use any of the default right click functionality - basically only the component select and the top and the assign material (although i could probably live without that tbh.) is there a way of editing it so it only shows…
Can anyone help? I haven't used Unreal in a long time, and I'm struggling. I'm trying to get my meshes from Substance to Unreal, but after setting up the material, it has extremely strange lighting, and looks completely different to how it did in Substance. You can see that Substance's lighting was clean and uniform. But…
Hello guys! I have modelled a stone floor. And now i want, that it breaks from left to the right in my animation. Do you know, how i can do it? Im working with 3dsmax
Looks good! The stone texture might need a bit more detail. Right now it looks a bit flat; try out a few different noise maps for the normal map to see how it catches the light. You might also want to think about what part of the scene that you want the viewer to focus on, and lead their eyes there with the help of…
I'm writing a code to make the CGToolkit's art of rigging arm in MEL. It was going just fine. I got my IK/FK switch set up, had the elbows constrained, and the wrist working quite easily. Then I moved on to the right arm, and here's what I got: ($armSideLong = "right" and $armSide = "r_") The right arm is broken at the…
Hey there. I'm working on some visual effects for a level I am working on but I've hit a bump with an effect that I can't really find any info on. I want to create an animated water light reflection that looks something as nice as or close to this : And what I have is this: Is there a method or a better way to make this…
Hi guys, I've been having this problem for a while now and can't find anything on the topic. I have a scene set up with reflection spheres and they all should work properly. They all have a brightness of 1. All the standard stuff. I have a big issue with how the reflection captures react with my lights. For some reason,…
