Re: Lamp ....
You can just add a light up in the sky somewhere. Lights can take a long time to tweak right, good just to play around with them and see what you can do. (I've spent hours lighting simple things before) You can also use 2 lights for your lamp. One with shadows, one without (both half bright) that'll give the shadows and… -
Re: Wtf is up with linear falloff?!?!?!
Linear and quadratic and other kinds of falloff won't be important things to worry about until ray tracing and ray tracing-based radiosity calculations start to be done in realtime in games. That's when games will actually start to become photorealistic, and that's when we'll need to start to worry about representing… -
Strange Unreal Engine 4 Crash/But not a crash while building lighting?
Hello, I was wondering if anyone else has been having the problem I've been having. For some strange reason every now and then when I build lighting for my environments in the Unreal Engine 4 my computer will randomly act like I hit the sleep button (sleep is turned off on my computer, and its done it both while I was… -
Re: Lighting issues
well the floor lighting thing is probably because of low res lightmaps and/or bad lightmap uvs. If the lightmaps are low enough you might not notice the artifacts, but once you get some more pixels they start to show up. Check the lightmap uvs on the floor mesh. Also do you really need to lightmap the floor? It looks like… -
Re: [haven't thought of a name] 3D Environment Art
Hey there! I'll second (or maybe third?) what everyone else has said. I definitely think looking at some references for the time period and location you are looking to emulate will help, as well as playing around with your lighting and color composition since the brown on brown is making everything blend together, when… -
Re: What Are You Working On? 2012 Edition
Mostly done getting the main detail in. I will make another pass on it for tertiary detail like scratches, dents, and decorative engravings. Right now I'm just blocking in the textures and trying to get the material definition right. Pretty pleased with the copper but the brass and iron need a lot of work. Hard to tell how… -
Re: So what are you working on?
Hey, nice lighting on that, Noel. Reminds me of some old Strangefate stuff. I'm intruiged by the normalmap experiments in here, and i think i'll take the plunge someday as well. Here's what i'm working on right now: well, not right now, silly billy. Right now i'm posting. It's a pregnant spikey thing. Depending on how many… -
Re: My struggles with engines
If you want me to take that question literally, it's quite simple. The lighting engine has been re-written to fundamentally operate on different mechanics, and the former methods of lighting no longer exist in the engine. Yes it does sound silly to say "it's too advanced" since you'd think an advanced tool could produce… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly ENVIRONMENT ART Challenge | January - February (70)
I'm using Unreal. First I turned off the fire place lights and had only the default skylight and directional light (sun) from the FPS template. That way I could adjust my sunlight coming in the windows as much as possible before adding any more light. You have to play with the indirect lighting strength setting of your… -
Re: Xena - Brawl Fighter
Thanks everyone for your critiques! I truly appreciate them. haikai: I see what you're talking about with her head being too wide in the profile view, and her ears being set too far back. About her proportions, most of the time I don't know whether to follow realistic proportions or do over-exaggerations. I can't decide on…
