Re: How are you actually handling AI-generated mesh cleanup before engine handoff?
The almost funny things is (also in general): When using some "result" from some AI, which in fact is some masterpiece of software developement but that's another story .. then why does one think that "some artists" are able to fix the garbage by "some script" or do have to do some manual repairs. Isn't the problem that… -
Re: Max Default Lighting (Trick?)
Right click > upper right most quad menu > Viewport Lighting and Shadows > Viewport Shading > Change it from off to good or best (and watch your system melt). You can also disable and enable lights and their real time shadow casting abilities in the viewport using the same menu. Hope that helps =) -
Lighting Channels not working?
I'm trying to use lighting channels to prevent certain lights from talking to certain static mesh actors. I thought the proper way to do this was to use Lighting channels, but I can't seem to get it to work properly. The settings on the left are for the Mesh, the right for one for one of the two lights I'm trying to mess… -
Re: Looking for Feedback: Gothic Ritual Environment (Unity, Bakery, Real-Time)
Works great for me. The yellowish glow makes for a nice focus / separation of foreground and background. The materials could maye be a bit more different regarding their glossiness, but that might be due to the lightmapping (are you using something for extra reflections, like a cubemap?). But even so, it's working fine.… -
Help working with low rez light maps

Re: 3D Generalist Portfolio Critique
In terms of stability both film and games are in a reeeeeaaaally scary place right now and competitiveness is through the roof and then some. If you're in a position of stability right now then it might be worth it to think about focusing on where you'd like to land a few years down the road and take this time to build a… -
UDK lighting help
I have never been able to understand UDK lighting. Here are a few of my thoughts: 1) in the images above the first two shots of different lightings built. The third shows what happens when I grap one of the lights. All the sudden a strong shadow appears when I select it. When i build ... everything is undesirably washed… -

Re: Jungle scene in UE4
What would you say is the focal point of your piece? Where do you want to lead the viewer's eye? For me the most visually interesting areas (most contrast and most saturation) are the patch of plants in the middle to right foreground and left mid-ground. The huts by comparison are dark, desaturated and lower contrast. When…
