Re: Abandoned Submarine Base
Here are my initial thoughts. 1) It doesn't look very abandoned, just looks a little dirty. I think the feeling of abandonment comes from broken environment pieces, nature taking over, cracking concrete, rusted metal, dripping pipes, and stuff like that. 2) Lighting is going to be a huge issue no matter how much you mess… -
Re: The Bi-Monthly ENVIRONMENT ART Challenge | September - October (68)
@b_beauchamp I think your jars on the shelves look fantastic and sell the mood really well! They might not be perfect in your eyes but I think you've done them justice. :D For point 2 look into the translucency sort priority, might be able to use it to fix that problem. Not certain what the issue looks like though so hard… -
Re: Canyon Crash Site - WIP
looks a lot better, your water could still use some work to get it just right. and yeah, the sky and lighting can really set the mood, but i wouldn't worry so much about the lighting currently. I'd get a sky in there that can give the mood you want, and then do a quick base lighting to see approximately how your scene… -

Re: My experiment with Lightmaps in UVch2
While this may work for a few cases of ambient occlusion, this idea falls apart as soon as you have directional lighting. Since the lights might be casting directional shadows and illuminating surfaces in only one direction, as soon as you overlap or stack any UVs, your lightmap will most likely become incorrect. -
Re: [UE4] Classroom [Finished]
@JZAcH thank you! Yes, you are right, at the final , i will improve the light baking settings because it costs a lot of time if i do this now (time to bake the lighting). I want to experimenting more on lighting and atmosphere at the end of the project because I can see better how it looks the entry scene, and because i… -
Re: Halo 4 UDK Cryo Level
Just sort of echoing what others have said, but your lighting is your biggest issue right now. Overall you need more contrast between dark and light areas, it's just not visually interesting if everything is one value. I'd draw down the dominant light in the scene and instead let the shadows/light come from the smaller… -
Re: Help with modular workflow
Lighting for a modular workflow is usually handled in-engine. It might be baked or it could be realtime. Per-object AO these days is often left to SSAO, but Unreal and similar engines still bake it in. Each modular piece will be able to have different lighting applied, so don't bake AOs into your diffuse unless it's… -
Re: Is the extra effort really noticed
I think for the most part no one notices, game reviewers don't seem to know the difference which is pretty sad. I remember when SSX3 shipped one of the magazines rated us the same as another game for graphics and made no mention of our final gather lighting, shadow cast from every object in the scene and beautiful lighting… -
Re: Waterfall Environment
I swear, every time you post an update on this (at least with recent screens) I think it's 2d work instead of a UDK scene. crazy! Your progress is solid right now, but I'd be careful about the lighting on the doorway. That area might be getting lost in a bunch of median shades and, seeing how it's the focal point, I feel…
