Re: [UE3] "Remember Me" Lighting breakdown
Hi Razorb, I would rather not publish screenshots of the lightmaps UV because I was not doing them myself, only doing some tests and giving advice to environment artists. I recommended them to read this interesting page from worldofleveldesign.com :… -
Re: Student showreel
Some thoughts in no particular order: * Put your contact details at the very first page somewhere unobtrusive, minor gripe, * ("The Survivor" and "Cartoon Warrior") Skip the characters. They feel unfinished and a bit flat, lacking anatomy and structure. Unless your goal right this minute is to become a character artist,… -
Re: [3DS Max] - Straighten UV's Problem
I do this for multiple reasons : - having cleaner bakes (by reducing aliasing) - having less space lost in UVs - easier packing if you need to do manual adjustments - reusability of your maps - stacking, trimsheet mapping...etc - ease VFX through material as it can offer cool flows - refine a base model that carries the… -
Re: Whats wrong with this picture?
you have bad lightmap UVs or bad lightmaps. Try rebuilding the lighting and if that doesn't fix it check the lightmap UVs. It might help if you have a look at the scene in "Lighting Only w Texel Density" mode to check for poor lightmap UVs. -
Re: [UE4] Emissive lighting artifact
Hello, thank you for your answer. Of course I considered 2 and 3 as alternatives, but I was hoping there would be a solution instead of an alternative. I increased the lightmap resolution to 256, and also changed the mesh from a long rectangle to a single square (so even more lightmap pixels per mesh, if I understand how… -
Re: Lighting Issues in the UDK
Sorry to be blunt - it's monday ;) - the UV's created with flatten mapping are garbage. Take your lightmap uv set and stitch as mean pieces together as you can. The less islands / chunks / sections etc the better. And unlike your texture uv set, the same rules about scaling, stretching etc do not apply to lightmaps. So… -
Re: Interior with Hero Asset WIP Log : Pirate's Tavern
the sword is distracting, at least for me. The hilt design feels like some sort of hybrid rapier/smallsword/falcion design, intended for something like a 4-5ft long rapier. The blade is similarly strange, only being of shortsword length, and the silhouette suggests a sabre, but is grounded to be double edged. Sabres… -
Unreal Engine - Artist's Guide to Optimize [WIP]
I've decided to shift all Unreal Engine tutorials and information, including free tools, materials, textures and uassets to my website at: B3D Game Dev http://b3dgamedev.com It's still in it's early phases of development, but there are tips on unreal tools already in there. I'm always open to questions or… -
Error Messing with Mesh Lighting
Brought in a static mesh (Shed) into UE4 and I've gotten this message upon importing and after baking lighting. "Shed has degenerate tangent bases which will result in incorrect shading. Consider enabling Recompute Tangents in the mesh's Build Settings." Yes I have already tried enabling Recompute Tangents and that didn't… -
Re: How to force a LightmapSnapshot?
OK, figured it out. Save as a new scene. Quit Unity. Make a backup of the original scene's lightmap folder (commit to source control). Load the new scene, bake. This deletes the original lightmap, and creates the new lightmap (derp Unity, derp). Then I just restore the deleted lightmap folder, and I'm done.
