Re: Max Viewport lighting issue
Ok, I've figured out my whole reasoning for thinking there was a problem, and I'd completely over-confused myself when the issue was quite simple, and quite different to what I originally thought. It has nothing to do with gamma, or hardware shading, as Xoliul pointed out... I just thought it did since that was the only… -
Alternatives for Dynamic Light Particle Effect?
Hello everybody! I'm working on a game for school right now which is highly dependent on selective lighting, and we have come to the point to where the lighting solution we're using is too expensive, and our levels are suffering for it. I don't have that much experience in the Unity engine, but what we have now is a series… -
Re: Lighting Artist?
You might find hourences' book interesting, here's an excerpt. http://www.moddb.com/tutorials/lighting-in-game-environments-the-hows-and-whys Also, "Painting with Light" by the cinematographer John Alton is a classic study of lighting, a must-read for any lighting artist. -
[WIP] Need help about light
I create some fan art about Meropid fortress in Genshin impact. Need some advice about light. Trying a dark, almost horror atmosphere. Still think it's just too dark picture and no dark atmosphere. Be appreciated for any advice. -
Help! I need realistic lights, IN SPACE, from far away! [UE4]
Alrighty, so I'm working on a hard science space sim in UE4 and we're trying to figure out how to create super realistic, small and tight lights that can be seen from up close AND far away. Now, we don't want any fancy bloom or lens flare. We don't expect that will be much of a thing in 200 years. Firstly, we tried using… -
Re: Lighting examples from Resistance: Fall of Man
The lighting is too flat, imo. Particularly in the night scenes, there is too much ambient and very few darker areas. Very little variation in color either. Still, educational nonetheless. We don't have people specifically designated at lighting artists, but do have some folks that are much better at it. A lot of time our… -
Re: nrml map lighting in unreal 3
I would look carefully at what lighting channels you have set on your lights. Look under LightComponent>LightingChannels. Lights automatically have the 'CompositeDynamic' lighting channel set which should affect lightenvironments but you might also need the 'Dynamic' channel to be included. But don't go crazy as Dynamic… -
Re: Mental Ray And Light Linking
I believe that pre Maya 2009 Mental Ray might be using its own centric approach to light linking still. It has been awhile but I remember that it used numbers in the light linking to specify how it was linked. If you look under the mental ray tab in the light there should be a light linking parameter that should have a a… -
Re: UDK dynamic lighting problems
Typically you'd only have one light in a scene casting realtime shadows, the dominant light. (usually given to the sun or, in the Mages' College in Skyrim, the Eye of Magnus, for example) The issue is that it has to redraw* the scene from the perspective of each light (twice for omni lights, possibly) so it's not a cheap… -
Cubemap and dynamic lighting
Hello, So I need to create a cube map, but since our project is open world with dynamic light (sun moving) should I remove the light source from my cubeMaps? Otherwise the object will have two suns reflecting right? One from the actual directional light and another one from the cube map. Any advice is appreciated.
