Re: Titan Moon Base
thanks Ihazard, ajr2764! I've done more work on both air vent types, the big machines, some of the walls, and the large pipe terminators on the ceiling. I also have more questions! 1) My trim meshes on the second floor have hideous edges which go to black. Why is this? The lightmap UVs aren't wrapping, and there's no… -
Re: Downtown
i liked it... I think a bit more concentration on the story... and I think maybe the person doing the voiceover was trying a bit too hard to sound grissled... relax . I think some good inspiration could be taken from the mel gibson film "Payback" to get those whitty 2-liners that work well for this... overall its was a fun… -
Blotch everywhere
Hi, I'm new to Unreal, but have some notion about lighting (some tutorials watched) I've recently done an archvis scene which the static lights are as blotchy as they could be upon the surfaces. I'm gonna try to list everything I've done so far: - Put static spotlights, portals, skylight, directional stationary, box… -
Re: Lighting problem with mesh
So i looked these I still dont understand, in maya i use automatic mapping for the lightmap, I learnt to do it this way from tutorials and and it had worked well for everything else I have done so thats why I dont understand why its got the problem, ive tried taking the normal map off and it makes zero difference and same… -
Re: Light Building Texture issue
That should be relatively easy to fix up then. The light build results window just tells you which meshes have UV errors and what type of error. If you aren't creating a seperate uv unwrap on a second channel (UV1) for lightmaps then you need to do that (exactly how depends on the program you use). Simply, any UV… -
Re: Lighting issues please help!
Your lighting looks that way because everything is being vertex lit once it's baked. Like previously mentioned, each mesh needs a second set of UV's for lightmap data. In Maya you can create a 2nd UV set in the UV Editor, and in Softimage you can add a new texture projection through the Property menu. The generate unique… -
Re: sharp shadows
Like Obscura mentioned you can use area soft shadows on the directional light. You just have to activate that checkbox in the directional light. HOWEVER, this makes the stationary directional light behave like the static one in terms of lightmap resolution. Normally the directional light in stationary mode bakes distance… -
Re: Which one is the best....
Did they ever get around to recognizing edges as an element type in Lightwave? I remember everyone started talking about edge loops, Lightwave just didn't have it and nobody ever heard from them again. Somewhere during all of that a bunch of people who wanted to revamp the whole program left NewTek and made Modo. It's too… -
Re: Star Wars Contest
I voted, but to be perfectly honest, none of them really scream "Star Wars" to me or capture the aesthetic of the movies. Except the pod racer engine, of course, but I have more respect for the artists who tried to come up with unique designs instead of just copying an existing one from the films. Look at the technology… -
Re: Whats wrong with EPIC/Unreal Engine?
Really you sound like you just want some new toys or that you don't want to learn how to create proper lightmaps and lightmap uvs. Dynamic GI in most cases is not better than baking lights, and even as the tech behind it goes forward and gets faster so will the tech behind lightmapping which will always be more accurate.…
