Re: Advice with Learning Shader Programming
Good question Jacky. As you see, you need to explicitly provide code for every additional light, it adds performance cost, and if you want to optimize in case there are fewer lights, you get branching as an additional issue: doing IF's in shaders is not as straightforward as regular cpu code, shaders are meant for the GPU… -
Re: Environment Projects - Work in Progress
Cool start on the sci-fi hallway. Suggestions: - The spec on the metal is really flat. - The lights run right into the door bulkhead. Organize your tiles so the door isn't cutting into the middle of one. - The hallway has some really straight lines if you broke those lines up with large bulk heads it might give you more… -
Re: Environment scene Docks
@Everyone: So many comments! Great :) Well I'm moving on towards a new project, but feel that I should continue working on this one (on the back burner) to add/tweak some things people have mentioned. @PopeAdam, Thanks man. I'll definitely take a look at this for my scene. @00Zero: Thanks! At the moment, i'm very new to… -
Lightmass + Environment Maps?
How can I get lightmass to incorporate a environment map (cube map) in it's global illumination lighting calculations? So far I've tried setting up a skycube with emissive material. I've checked "Use Emissive For Static Lighting", increased emissive boost, made sure "Use Global Illumination" was checked, built lighting,… -
Re: Monthly Community Noob Challenge February 2014 (16)
So this is where I start tredding into deep water. This is what I've got so far, I've created some trees in unity and remodelled and messed about with the rocks and viewpoint a bit I now have a barrage of questions. How do I get good lighting? There only seems to be spot, directional and point to choose from which are… -
Re: [UE4] ROME | CHURCH of SANT'IVO
Hi Larry, I have experience the same frustrating issue you have with seams appearing in your level. To help you better I have a couple questions. What engine are you using? Are you using baked lighting? If so, do you see these seams before or after you light bake? Seams are usually caused by a few things, your models are… -
Re: Request work: Sion Eltnam Atlasia (UT2004)
Thanks, everybody. Just got home from being dismissed from the mandatory service in the armed forces (psychological reasons). Thermidor: I dunno what triggered the chain of thought that led me to make this shader, but it involved a crit about the colors. I corrected the colors on the skin (by using the eyedropper on the… -
Re: Portfolio Critique - Level Designer / Level Artist
I gotta agree about the interior, the material definition is just not there. You also broke the cardinal sin of lighting, you placed point lights around your ceiling light fixtures. Thus making weird halo's around them. This is completely un-natural and really breaks the sense of realism. In reality, those can lights would… -
Re: Environment Projects: Requesting Feedback
Everything here is looking great! I think your lighting is pretty solid, but you could still push a lot more into it. Have some more solid rays of light coming in that really light some areas a lot more. Instead of just being one color. Maybe some more light coming in through one side of your stained glass windows making… -
Re: Ice Dragon
Your presentation is letting down what looks like a pretty nice model. Get some better lights in there, and don't be afraid to colour them to indicate the kind of environment you'd expect to see it in. I'd get a strong, very pale yellow directional light on it, along with a light-blue ambient light at low intensity (turn…
