Re: Multiple UV channels?
Most of the time, I've used the second UV channel for lightmaps. So, in channel 1, we'd have our diffuse, bump, and whatever, which may be tiling quite a bit for environmental stuff. Then in channel 2, we bake out separate lightmaps, which obviously we don't want to tile. For example, say you've got a brick wall with a car… -
Re: Wife wants to play a MMO again....
Asherr's MMORPG reviews of MMOs he's played: :poly142: World of Warcraft: (currently subscribed but rather bored and thinking of quitting) + easy to play. + quick leveling. no real grindfests needed as you are leveling + all classes can solo almost 90% of non-instanced quests. + lots of humor through the quests and game in… -
Re: (UE4) Lighting still sucks
So the problem that I am having is with buildings. I have some smaller props which seem to be doing fine, but they also have much much simpler light maps. However, these buildings are very large and complicated compared to the other props. Approximately 3300 tris (due to some beveling). Maya was used for modeling and… -
Re: Underground German Hospital (updated).
Baking shadows on static objects is a multi-part test to get quality results. And generally speaking, the results that look the absolute best would never be actually used in a game setting due to budgets. (Depending on the circumstances, of course.) However, it doesn't mean you can't do it for portfolio / beauty renders if… -
Re: Can someone clear something up regarding blending with masks/multiple UV channels?
Yes, in general terms. There may be some optimizations. The way I think about tiling in UVs vs. in materials... doing it in the UVs is kind of permanent on the model, you do it once and live with it. Tiling in the material offers more flexibility, you can tile different maps at different amounts, change things on the fly,… -
Steampunk Spacewhale - Stomach [WIP]
This is a playable enviroment where you can walk up walls. My computer is a bit trash, so Im restricting myself to baked lighting + reflection probes (aside from a single directonal light) and minimal Post processing (currently just bloom and motion blur - the big turbine thing spins in game untill you turn it off). Unity… -

Re: Tropes in Videogames
Here's another quote from the website of our youtube feminist. So remember guys, the next time you fantasize about having a real lightsaber, you're really just dreaming about dicks. And we all know that baseball bats and chainsaws were designed by some guys in a dark room trying to make all objects in the world resemble… -
Re: n/a
Fully dynamic lighting and baked GI are mutually exclusive. If you bake something, it's not fully dynamic, is it? The reason why you can't bake GI with a dynamic dominant directional light is that it's only going to look right once a day in your day/night cycle. That's only half as good as a broken clock. You'd get better… -
Re: Italy scene round 2
nice update man. The brick looks 10x better but its a bit small right now, decrease the tile a bit so its like 20% larger maybe. something appears to be off with your scale of objects a bit, the pallete is nearly as large as a dumpster? unless maybe you changed your camera's FOV to be super wide and its really increasing…
