Re: Source SDK to be free!
Looking back at my posts it looks like I am almost defending source. What I meant to say is hammer so outdated in its methods that it makes steam engines look brand new. The engine lack multiple uv channels for models which in this day and ages is rather stupid. The only way to get lightmaps on to models is to use one of… -
Re: High to low poly baking, I'm in need of some direction.
Nice mate. It's great to see when somebody puts in the effort themselves and works through the problems. That's the attitude that will lead you on to success in this game. The ability to problem solve on-the-fly is an essential part of CG. Too many lazy f**ckers picking up CG who just don't put the work in and expect… -
Re: Shadowsmaps - What are they?
I know this, Africa! Yurrs, winrar to me! :poly122: On a more serious though still low on competence note, as I don't know that much about tech stuff and shaders in general: All I know, is that there are multiple ways to render AO, but that it's basically shadows rendered based on angles and whatnot, lol. Light-tracer in… -
Game engine Interaction and 3d Apps
I am looking at purchasing a 3D modeling Application for interaction with the Upcomming Cryengine 3 Indie and the New UDK Build. I am Currently using a Student Version of Maya. Maya is too expensive for my budget atm and I do not like how Autodesk targets Large businesses instead of Individuals. Normal People buy their… -
Sketchbook: Omari McCord <Takai>
Well... I need critique. Straight up, I crave progression but FEAR (false expectations appearing real) putting my work out there until its 100% completed! The insanity of it is that I tend to find glaring errors after its been posted that could have easily been solved with just some simple critique. So I will just... let… -
Re: Goco Works
Last couple of weeks I was working on this scene. All the modeling is done in Modo ( base body is done in MakeHuman ), from highpoly to game ready lowpoly models. Baked normal map, ambient occlusion and id map in Modo by using the rounded shader, cage and exploded mesh. A whole scene is modeled in a modular system, there… -
Re: Static vs Stationary point light
Basically you can't get crystal sharp shadows with baked lighting, cause of the limits of the lightmap resolution. You can live together with that, or you can switch to an another solution. Lightmaps are used for storing the "rough" lighting, including GI, and directional lighting. That can come from various light sources.… -
Re: Police Ballistic shield
Great attempt, I hope you learned something from the process. But its back to the drawing board for this asset. Everyone here has kindly given you advice, all correct and very helpful. I would definitely look at your unwrapping and texturing, the above UV is a mess in terms of creating a great diffuse, its broken and… -
Re: Storage Room/Basement Scene
I am the exact same way. I just do not enjoy UDK's lighting in general. Creates a lot more hassle than should be necessary, and I am just sick of baking lightmaps and such. That could possibly be because I am a lighter on last gen consoles right now at work, and all I do is work with lightmaps and old static style lights.… -
Re: UDK Noob - Dynamic lighting problems :( Please help
wow so small fail boat on my part, the new pics better tell me what you are doing. I did not realize that you had arrows pointing to the light fixture in the original post did not see it on my iPad. So based on that pretty much ignore most of my last post. you will need to have a lightmap to have cast shadows like that. As…
