Two Sky spheres in a level (UE4)
Hi all, I was wondering if there is a way to make two sky sphere blueprints to light a level where one is directly visible for the sky with no lighting effect on the level and another that is not visible but lights the level. I want to try out some lighting technique with ue4. Is this possible? Also, can someone tell me if… -
Re: Two Sky spheres in a level (UE4)
I'm not sure I understand what you mean with the two blueprints for lighting a level through skies. Like cubemaps for image-based lighting? Or? For the second one, tessellation/displacement on landscape actors is currently pretty buggy. You could just set up distance-based tessellation with a terrain mesh that was sculpted… -
Re: Two Sky spheres in a level (UE4)
Hi, sorry for bumping up an older thread. Had to stop using game engines for a while. Turns out the two sky sphere for ue4 doesn't work after lighting is rebuilt. Is there a way one can tell the engine to use one sky sphere for lighting the level and use one to just be directly visible with no lighting effects and remains… -

Hide the one that you want just visually before you bake and unhide after building. If this doesn't work for some reason, you could place it as movable actor. -

Thanks Leleuxart. Been experimenting also with Lumberyard as well. Seems Dynamic Lighting is way better and manageable. No problem with distance from the camera as well. -
Re: Two Sky spheres in a level (UE4)
Cascaded shadow maps are pretty tricky, because they require a lot of tweaking to get the best settings for the trade off. You'll be sacrificing some quality/accuracy for fully dynamic shadows. Also look at the shadow bias/shadow filter sharpen options in the directional light. If you're getting disconnected shadows,… -
Re: Two Sky spheres in a level (UE4)
Guys, I have a problem. I am trying out lighting a scene with using a movable sun(direct light) which will create dynamic shadows with a movable skylight like Koola's ue4 scenes. Problem is the cascaded shadow maps are quite a problem as they look good from a certain camera distance but look bad if I move the camera closer… -
Re: Two Sky spheres in a level (UE4)
I just realized..That's what color of skylight is for. No worries..mate. Just figured it out. What if I sculpted a mesh in Mudbox/Zbrush? I am guessing I need to bake out the displacement map to use as a height map after importing the low res mesh in UE4. Why not just procedural foilage for the rocks and stones but he uses… -

Thanks Obscura, worked perfectly. :)
