Re: Temple of Crom Unearthly Challenge
have to agree that the lighting setup you have right now is losing pretty much your entire scene. right now all of your main props are pretty much all hidden in shadow and the bright white light is the only thing that shows up. I know you want to go for a dark/stormy feel to the scene but if you end up losing all the… -
Re: (Finished) Research Outpost - Unreal Engine 5 Environment
Thanks for the suggestions and feedback, much appreciated! @Eric Chadwick @Fabi_G =) The recommendation to check out The Thing (1982) is a great one. That abandoned Norwegian station sequence really captures the kind of atmosphere I’m aiming for with this project, snow and ice slowly reclaiming an interior space. I’ve also… -
Constructive Criticsm, The Right Way
Hello everyone, I wrote a quick article on some thoughts I had about providing constructive criticsm. Since we are in the media age, a lot of artwork is shared and a lot of feedback goes back and forth. I decided to elaborate on some experiences of mine, and provide some feedback that i'd thought i'd share in terms of… -
Beginner Questions on the right workflow
Hello Polycount, I'm a hobbyist really interested in playing aroung with Maya. I've started plans to make a virtual yacht and pier for a really special friend of mine but I would really want to get it done right in a proper way without misconceptions. I've been poking my nose into tutorials and decided to do a test on a… -
Re: wild west saloon. CE3
Looks great! I agree with Brandoom and everyone else. There is a bit of a disconnect in how warn some objects are compared to others. The main siding of the building looks very beat down, but the sign looks brand new. Some of the barrels and crates look pretty new as well. The nighttime lighting needs a little work. At… -
Global Illumination in real life is just reflection right?
Hey people, I just need some clearance there. In CG rendering, there are different methods to simluate real-life light rays behaviour and etc. I have a question regarding specularity, global illumination and reflectivity as used in CG/game rendering. Maybe I'm wrong but from I understand, in real life, specularity and… -
Re: PETROL/BLOOD - Team Tipple
mhmhmhmmhmhmh the render looks very flat to me, might want to tone down the ambient a bit? also the streetlight should function more as an accent, rather then the main light source, as its a pointlight thats very close to the scene. the mainlight usually works best with a directional light, that is comming from somewhere… -
Re: Techniques for real-time lighting indoors in an outdoor level
So good start on isolating the post process to the interior of the house, it will give you some greater control over the interior and allow you to isolate lighting scenarios. Totally dynamic lighting is fine and sometimes necessary for large scale areas that cannot be baked obviously so no real issues there. What sort of… -
Re: Lighting Dynamic Objects properly?
So problem is you have another dynamic mesh and it doesn't receive the right color/brightness? Not talking about static geometry right? Dominant doesn't really mean dominant, it has a different way of rendering shadows. That is the main thing that it does differently, the name isn't very fitting. The light with most… -
Re: Point light (shader?) issue
Right, so it occurred to me that although easy, UDK's lightmapping isn't magic, and as such that would probably be a good place to start dissecting the problem. I went into the Static Mesh editor, and selected Mesh > Generate Unique UV's. Now, it's entirely feasible that I inadvertently changed the settings of the UV…
