Re: Unreal 3 Warehouse Scene
Concerning lights you can use as many static lights as you want and bake the shadow maps for performance. So just place lights that have a low radius... from 256s to 512s and play with the brightness.. which should not be more than 1... i keep them 0.6 or lower... bouncing light should be 0.2 but it's up to you. also i… -
Re: Lighting vs. Texture Shadows
Which part are you saying is more RAM intensive (lightmaps, normal/dot3 lighting or both)? I've seen quite a few tutorials and such for these kinds of things for iPhone and a lot of current Android devices have equal to or greater hardware specs (My Samsung Captivate has the same CPU (without an FPU unfortunately) as the… -
Re: LIttle bit of help
you really need to work on your texture m8.. one 1024, thats what? 16 256 maps! Look into how to reuse your texturespace, tiling it over the model. make a window texture and reuse that etc etc. This will probabl require you to do some cutting in the model which = more polys but: Whats it for? You get a 1024 texture but can… -

Re: Bruges, Belgium Environment
Keen - a couple things. First, no, it doesn't HAVE to be an specific texture size as far as 512, 256 etc...it's more of a personal scale - Where do you want the most details? Is size an issue as far as the object scale? (bricks, holes, moss, etc...) The main idea is simply to cut your geometry in such a way that you can… -
Skin Shader - Realtime Translucency
Haven't posted in ages, so I thought it was high time I did Recently I've been tinkering around with hlsl, with the goal of learning to hold my own when it comes to writing shaders. To that end, first up I'm developing a skin shader to mimic highend rendering materials, and physical properties (eg, translucency, fresnal… -
Landscape Normal Shadow
Hi all, using Moveable Point light to get stencil shadows, (shadow mode to normal , SQF set to High) Works perfect but not on areas that are close to Landscape. As in landscape surface is like 256 units behind the static wall mesh (walls) , when i move the light around it gives triangles on my walls, even though that same… -

UV'ing low poly models
Hey there everyone, I got a question about UV'ing characters, specifically for low poly, but I guess it would apply to any model which needs to utilize a lot of mirroring etc. So I made my first low poly character today, I would post the flats but they're on my other computer. I went to unwrap it, with the intention of… -
