POSITION: LIGHTING ARTIST (on site in VIenna) SUPERVISED BY: LEAD LIGHTER SUMMARY OF THE ROLE: Arx anima is calling out for applications from experienced Lighters: The position of lighter requires someone with a thorough knowledge of 3D software (see below for detail), with at least 2 years of experience in a similar role…
Hi guys! I would like to present you my Lighting Art Course - Link In this course, I'll show you how to set up lighting for a variety of situations. Whether it's overcast weather or natural light in a cave. You will learn a lot of theoretical and practical information. I will also explain how to balance your lighting and…
@elfennani Cool update! I think the render is currently a bit too dark and low contrast. To counter that, you could try increasing the light's intensity and make sure that the values of the albedo textures are not too dark (use values of processed PBR scans as a reference?). Additionally, light could come from offscreen…
Make bigger pieces. There is no reason this wall could not be 3 - 512x512 pieces and that way you reduce the lighting issues. Also, since this is still UDK (problem is gone in U4), you need to close your meshes at the open edges. And finally, check your lights and start with just one lightsource. Where lights overlap in…
Hey it's a start! Are you working from a reference image? Post it if so, get some ref if not! Some of the proportions feel off on your props with regard to modeling. Night scenes can be tricky since they need to be 'dark', but you typically still want contrast and depth in the image. Start by thinking about the motivation…
Is this possible in maya, I'd like my ao shader to only show up in the ambient light's contribution, ie you shouldn't really ever see ao where the directional light is hitting but rather just in its shadows, multiplying it on top of the directional light looks kind of gross and muddy to me. Ideally I'd like to avoid using…
Hi, i'm experimenting with Unity's directional lights and there is one thing i cannot understand... I have a simple scene with one static object and one directional light. If i set the directional's light 'Baking' parameter to realtime, the quality of light is very good: However if i turn this to a baked light the quality…
Here's what I posted in another thread, basically the same as Mop, with a couple extra small tips: The easiest way to do this in Max is to - put your model on a plane - add a skylight to the scene (anywhere, it doesn't matter) - turn on Light Tracer (Rendering > Advanced Lighting > Light Tracer) The defualt settings on the…
@Ipcstr, thanks. You are a bit limited if you want to take advantage of deferred lighting so anything but Phong shading will use forward rendering even in dx11. I was hoping to be able to get decent results with deferred lighting so I could use it for most of what is on screen and avoid some of the performance Issues with…
Hi all. Got a strange one. The other day I was working in Max 2010 64bit and I noticed that the viewport lighting was all messed up. Its as if there is a light in the scene, and objects aren't just lit up from the standard viewport light (whatever you are looking at is illuminated). Even in a completely fresh scene to make…
