Community Work in Progress

Hi everyone !

I wanted to test if i can do some “vray style” interior.
Here’s my first test, i dont really like to model/uv stuffs so it’s pretty simple.

Awesome! You pretty much nailed it. :slight_smile:

Is it a single directional light with a skylight or did you have additional spotlights at the window?

#3

Looks great , as i am architectural visualization artist by myself i admit that you did great work baking that lighting in. That was a lot of unwrapping, eh ? :smiley:

#4

Thx ! :slight_smile:

For the lighting i have a spot that light a white quad at the exterior of the window (so no direct light/shadow, just smooth indirect lighting) and a directional for the sun.
I have also tweak the BaseLightmass.ini with totally overkill values^^.

And yeah, I dream of a “make perfect UV2” button :slight_smile:

Here’s another quick light test with just the spot/reflector :

Aha! So you tweaked the .INI file, you sneaky koola. :smiley: Seriously beautiful though. How long does it take you to build the lighting for this scene?

#6

It take less than 10min on a i7-3770.

My jaw keeps dropping as you keep posting these. :eek: You should record a video next time!

#10

wow…most realistic render I’ve seen from a game engine. Your work is amazing, have you got any short video walk through from those 2 last scenes?

#11

This looks awesome!
Very well done!

#12

WOW! This is fantastic! Great job koola. I know it keeps being said but I hope you are going to show us a video soon. Keep up the superb work!

#13

Here’s a quick video :slight_smile:
(First time I use Matinee, very cool and simple tool)

Seriously, the more I use this engine, the more I love it ! Great job UE guys :wink:

#14

HOLEE ****~!

O_O

Super-fantastic. Bravo. Simply genius!

#15

This deserves to be showcased by EPIC.

#16

Madness, this is madness… :smiley:

Btw what tweaks have you done in BaseLightmass.ini to get this crazy good results?

#17

Oh my flippity flippin’ freaking gosh. This is the best architecture project I’ve seen made with Unreal Engine 4. :smiley: #madskillz

#18

Beautiful work!

#19

Couple of questions:

  1. can you detail what you did to your Lightmass.ini? This would be invaluable for the arch-viz community to work from.
  2. Did you capture the video directly using FRAP/Banidicam, etc? Or did you use the in-engine movie capture?

Hey, thanks everybody !

For the BaseLightmass.ini I use this values (and I almost have no idea what each value does^^ … it’s totally random)


[DevOptions.StaticLightingProductionQuality]
NumShadowRaysScale=32
NumPenumbraShadowRaysScale=64
ApproximateHighResTexelsPerMaxTransitionDistanceScale=9
MinDistanceFieldUpsampleFactor=7
NumHemisphereSamplesScale=64
NumImportanceSearchPhotonsScale=6
NumDirectPhotonsScale=32
DirectPhotonSearchDistanceScale=.5
NumIndirectPhotonPathsScale=32
NumIndirectPhotonsScale=64
NumIndirectIrradiancePhotonsScale=32
RecordRadiusScaleScale=.45
InterpolationMaxAngleScale=.75
IrradianceCacheSmoothFactor=.75
NumAdaptiveRefinementLevels=3
AdaptiveBrightnessThresholdScale=.25
AdaptiveFirstBouncePhotonConeAngleScale=2.5

I capture the video directly with the movie capture tool in Matinee.
