Hey, ive not touched 3D for years now, so i'm out of touch. However I have recently purchased a 3D printer, I want to print off a light diffuser for a custom indicator, however is there a way I can use Blender to simulate how this will diffuse the light first? As obviously the shape of the plastic will dictate how evenly…
Hi all, I have encountered a strange lighting issue, some areas of my meshes in my environment are lighting incorrectly. Please see attached image I have marked with red arrows some of the problem areas. The weird thing is that from a distance you can see the issues but when you come close to the mesh the lighting seems…
there are three systems you're using in UDK. lighting, textures/shaders, and post processing. So it's more complicated than painting. For realism you would normally texture your scene fairly neutrally and then use the lights to control tone. To learn how to light a scene you should look into cinematic lighting techniques.…
I was wondering if there is a way to get vertex lighting to show up with the DX display of Standard Material option checked on in Max. Because I have vertex lighting on this violin Im working on and as soon as I turn on DX display it takes off the vertex lighting. also how do I get the alphas to work with DX display on?
I don't think I have enough info to know exactly what is wrong. I'm not exactly sure what the end result should look like so that makes things a little more difficult. That looks like a "Photometric Free Light" to me, which is different than a "standard" omni light. You might want to change the light to a standard light…

Do you want better renders for your portfolio? I would be glad to light up your scenes, as i really like working with lighting and i want to practice…

"In this tutorial created for philipbloom.net, Eve talks you through simple to advanced lighting setups that are easy to achieve and produce beautiful results. She explains simply, how to get the most…
We've got light gels, and then if you want to load a custom image for the sky light you can do that by clicking on the sky object and hitting the image button. We support all the standard HDRI formats. There isn't a way to map an image to a specific light other than light gels though.

I am not sure what to thing of this bug and how to fix it. all…
Hi everyone, I'm actually working on a personal project called "Brutalism Study". With this project I want to reproduce some materials and the very pure lighting I always see in the Brutalist architectural style. For those who don't know what is Brutalist architecture, here are some exemples: Pinterest link for more…
