[Maya 2009] To hide Light's icon in the Viewport?
I am creating some custom lights for lightmap process in Maya. Some of my template are using multiple lights but I would light to hide the lights's icon in my viewport replacing by a custom of mine. Problem is if I switch the Visibility attribute value to "0", light will stop any activity in my scene... Then is there a way… -
How can I make accurate LED lights in Maya/VRay?
Hello, I’m trying to figure out by what means to properly simulate a 5mm LED bulb. here’s my model as yet: So far I’ve just kind of faked it by using colored sphere lights: but I’m trying to go for a realistic PBR setup where I don’t have to use shortcuts to get a realistic LED light source/material combination These are… -
Serious lighting issues in UDK
Ok so I'm just going to start by saying that I do not have a good understanding of lighting or displaying my work in UDK. I have modelled and UV'ed the major assets of my scene (I use maya), and created a very quick and dirty light map for the asset you see here which is the first one I am addressing the major lighting… -
Re: Light Maps and Ambient Occlusion Maps
Ambient Occlusion represents shadowing that comes from the environment itself, not from any particular lightsource. I like to think of it as the shadows being cast by bounced light, as opposed to the shadows being cast directly by a light. A light map is baking any lighting information into a map. You could set up a bunch… -

Nuclear Launch Test Room (Environment Model/Shading/Lighting/Anim)
It's a new month and that means a new class! Visual Effects class is up and around the corner and I decided to try and do something a little different. As always it will require lots of time to complete but, I aim for the best and a slight pinch of ambition. Here's some reference images of the nuclear launch testing room… -
Re: Light coming behind a door
The cost totally depends on your renderer. Back in the day area light capable raytracers wound up casting a huge amount of rays for area lights of any significant size, while the quality compared to a bunch of pointlights was not terribly different so long as the relative angle between each point light and the object was… -
UE4 Spotlight not contributing to bounced lighting
Hi guys I am having trouble lighting a scene in the same style as the tutorial below. After some advice from a colleague I have tried creating a bounced light method with spotlights as instructed in the link below. https://www.unrealengine.com/blog/simulating-area-lights-in-ue4 I am finding that when I build my lighting… -
Re: How to set up sphere lighting in Marmoset and 3D Coat?
LONG VERSION: Yea but afaik it takes manually creating it and positioning it yourself using the shadow options (for targeted directions) then turning off the shadow directions after the lights position is set in the placement you desired. It is a bit of work i only did x,y directions and 5 lights per direction seems well…
