Emit indirect light only maya mentalray?
Hey is there any way to emit indirect light only say create a light or surface that only emits photons. I've tried creating a geometric shape and applying a white shader to it and then turning the ambient value up on the shader. This emits indirect light into the scene but even when the geo is tagged to not cast shadows… -
Skylight causing weird lighting bug
I have a scene that is lit primarily through a skylight, and it is making this weird light circle on my scene like a big spotlight is shining down. After extensive troubleshooting I have definitely narrowed it down to the skylight and not any other light. I have tried adjusting every setting in the skylight to see if I… -
UDK Lighting Shadows & Spec Snafu
Alright, so here's my beef in a nutshell. Have a dynamic light casting dynamic shadows behind a brush wall, on a brush floor with a material that has a nice spec map on it. Do you see the problem? The spec is receiving the lighting info through the wall when it clearly should only be a shadow being cast. I cannot figure… -
Re: Problem with volumetric fog from a stationary directional light.
Wow.... this is odd, I just came here to post a question about exactly this same problem! This is 100% the exact thread I was going to make... weird, no? Anyway - so, as I said - I'm in the same situation as OP: I get a nice, sharp volumetric fog occlusion / light-shaft effect on the spotlight coming thru my window when… -
Colored Geometry Light (Mental Ray)
For practice, I've modeled a small sauna room, and I thought it would be interesting to light it in a stylized way. Using geometry with mila material with an emission layer, I've managed to light the scene from behind the wooden planks that form the room, like this: However, I would ideally like for the material to be… -
Re: Outdoor scene lighting advice
Hey Xendance, didn't know you were roaming those boards as well ;) At the moment my level is comprised of a single dominant directional light with an orangish bloom tint and the world is using a light blue env colour. All the rest is left by default I think. In UDK terms, the sky light is replaced by the environment colour… -
Toon Shader: Is there a way to control the area/shape of Rim light?
Hi guys! I am wondering if there's way to limit the area of the rim light in arnold toon shader. I tried to appoint a light source to the rim light but it doesn't seems to effect anything. I would like to get rid of the rim light in the mouth and under the nose. Is there a way I can limit the area where the Rim light can… -
Blender: Volumetric Lighting/Texture Baking
Hi. I'm not sure what you call this exactly, but I'm trying to bake the lighting shining through the window so I can use it as a texture map. Does this make sense? How do I do this. Anyone have tutorials? I've manage to bake somewhat light but it was too distorted. I know it probably had to do with the direction of the… -

Unable to get the lighting needed on an object
I've been making a scene in UDK and everything is working out fine apart from this one object that I just cannot get the lighting I need on it. :poly127: I've tried converting the light to all types, ticked and unticked all relevant boxes but for the life of me, I just cannot get the object to become lit. In the first…
