Re: Ratatouille Scene, Lighting Study [Critique Welcomed ]
hey Jon, thanks, was waiting for you comment , hehe I had to use the point light to get the diffused light in the floors, which with spotlight only gave me a harsh round spotlight effect in the ground too. if I increase the indirect lighting, then I'd light the whole scene(not which I want) or elsewhere I dont want it.… -
Re: WARCRAFT IV - 3D FANART
Looking great guys! :) As for the pipeline : I'd personally go with the first one. a.k.a create a few BIG textures (next-gen *yo*) with a bunch of interesting hand-painted materials variations (note the "s" at the end. If you are working with 2 to 4k maps, you can totally afford to have more than ONE SINGLE plank of wood)… -
Re: Liberty Prime
Hey guys, Thanks again for the replies. Completely valid on the film burn issue. I'm currently in the VFX industry, doing a few things here and there, but I'm actually more interested in videogames and would eventually like to head into that industry. This particular model was done using Lightwave 3D, but I am very… -
Re: Final Fantasy XIV - Lighting
Isn't image based lighting normally used as part of physically based rendering? At least that's how it seemed when looking at presentations from Epic and looking at one of the PBR shader sets for Unity. Somehow I don't think that FFXIV is using physically based shaders though. Though the engine it's using I remember being… -
Re: Zbrush options help.
You can play when the memory settings to see if you can squeeze some extra juice out of your machine, but those settings are not generally saved and loaded with normal models (I don't even think they're included with projects), so its not something one file would have altered that another file wouldn't have.… -
Re: Unlimited Detail
Dynamic lighting was never there. Just think about it, because of the unique texturing you can get lightmaps as detailed as the color textures, you can bake some pretty high quality stuff. I'm not sure if they're using normals at all, but all the character and dynamic object textures are supposedly stored in the same… -
Re: Creating a pulsing Emissive material
Yeah, you won't be able to get the env lit and pulsing with just a material. UDK basically bakes your emissive/bounce lighting to a lightmap, so it'll give you static lighting with lightmass. You'll need to animate your material and a dynamic light with matinee (both in matinee, to the timing is synced to both), or use… -
Re: [UDK] Sci Fi Tram Station
Just as a note im moving on from this onto some other projects that i need to get finished, main reason is that when creating the lightmap in max with all the pieces added together to reduce draw calls it kept deciding to unweld entire faces from singular models, making it incredibly hard to get anywhere with it, i have… -
Re: Detail textures and UV seams? Any methods?
When making rocks, I try to arrange the UV seams into the natural seams and depressions of the rock, so they're hidden as much as possible. Some can't be hidden, no big deal. Detail maps are see up close only, never from far away. So most of those UV seams are not visible anyhow. Besides, a detail map is usually not full… -
Re: UE4 Tiling Rock Wall
No worries - we all have to learn at some point. I learned when my lead yelled at me. :) Indirect lighting is basically a cheat. It will look good in certain conditions where the lighting is similar to that in which the photo was taken. Any situations with a direct light source hitting the material will make it look…
