Re: AO Detail Failure
Yeah, it's very strange actually (probably not a good thing to promote in a tutorial) since for ambient occlusion you usually only want the generic AO since your in-game lighting should provide all of the "larger" light forms. You're basically just pre-darkening your whole asset by doing it like it's shown in the tutorial,… -
Re: AO Detail Failure
that tutorial is really hyped- must be an awesome money making product to the person who started it. -
Re: AO Detail Failure
Does the tutorial mention that they must be using a huge ground plane to get lots of AO from the ground? Basically yours is casting light from everywhere, his is only receiving light from generally above. -
Re: AO Detail Failure
Yeah.. I've never understood his AO. I once watched the tutorial trying to figure out what was going in.. It's not especially clear about it. It would be interesting to see some feedback from Riki. I'm curious too. -
Re: AO Detail Failure
I haven't watched his tutorial, but he may not be "pre-darkening" it if he's mixing that "AO" map with a soft-light or overlay layer in photoshop. If that is the case, then that middle grey will be missed, and he'll be baking some shadows and some directional lighting into the image, but at least he wouldn't be darkening…
