Hi! i'm having issues with the normal map (i think). It's giving me these weird light artifacts when i import the textures into another software My workflow is: UVs in blender, then bake and texture in substance, then export textures and import them in blender this is how it looks in blender substance painter Also tried…
Hi, I'm trying to export a marmoset viewer file for artstation, but the results look very different from what I see in the viewport (as you can see in the image attached). I have no idea why its doing this, but it looked like the lighting was different from my viewport, so I deleted all of the lights in my scene and…
This is looking great so far! I think the primary thing that could really increase the image quality is to study Composition, and decide how you want people to view the piece. http://wiki.polycount.com/wiki/Concept_Fundamentals#Composition After that, I think looking more at real world references would help you see what…
Hey everyone! I’m currently working on a cinematic scene in Unreal Engine 5 and would love some feedback—especially on the lighting. I’m still fine-tuning the textures alongside the lighting, but my goal is to create a soft, nostalgic mood—something that feels like a distant memory from the early 1940s or late 30's. I’ve…
Hi Guys, I'm really keen to get some feedback and pointers on a self initiated course I'm taking. I really want to improve my understand of colour and light, hopefully this is a place that can help me grow! I had to apply a White Key Light and slight blue Fill Light to this set up below. It looks OK but I know there's…
Check how it looks when materials are applied, and it’s put in a scene with lighting and camera angle. Many of these tiny issues become essentially invisible, in situ. But yes, triangles and ngons are ok, as long as they don’t adversely affect the shading. Usually fine on flatter areas.
I think it's really important to design a narrative before creating an image. What is the image trying to communicate to the viewer? Defining this will allow you to make decisions about how to arrange the scene, where to put the camera, how to light it, etc. Without a clear goal, the viewer is left wondering why they are…
I for one am no lighting expert, and these are just a few suggestions you may want to try. I would go with point lights with the appropriate color for the crystals. This way you will get a nice spread of colored light on all surfaces surrounding the crystals. Are you going with a night scene here? If so add some blueish…
Hello everyone! I'm very happy to share my latest project with you! It was quite a long journey, but it was also a lot of fun and seeing this character taking shape and life was definitely very satisfying! All the lighting, presentation and renders were done in Unreal Engine 5.6. I'm very happy that I can finally say that…
I create some fan art about Meropid fortress in Genshin impact. Need some advice about light. Trying a dark, almost horror atmosphere. Still think it's just too dark picture and no dark atmosphere. Be appreciated for any advice.
