good content

[@PolygonAcademy]

Thanks :)

Hey, I originally found your channel from an ad on this. I downloaded the light presets but when I checked the text file labeled "readme" you said it was exclusively for non-commercial purposes. What, if possible, would I need to do to use this commercially? I'd be lying if I said I was anywhere close to releasing something worth paying for, but I'd like to know for future reference.

[@PolygonAcademy]

PoofBallDaily feel free to email me at tim@polygon-academy and we can figure something out :)

[@fxbiani]

@@PolygonAcademy ok! I will if I ever reach a point where I want to sell a game using your presets.

[@PolygonAcademy]

@@fxbiani I will also be releasing a pack of like 10 more presets for overcast/foggy/rolling clouds etc and it will have the personal/indie/commercial license options right there in gumroad for purchase, for fairly cheap as well. coming soon ;)

[@fxbiani]

@@PolygonAcademy glad to hear it! Thanks man!

[@AslamVFX]

i am a civil engineer, after 3 month hard work check ue4 my gaming vfx work support my work

[@jacobmwesigwa3096]

Can these be used for interiors? Or exteriors and interiors at the same time????

[@PolygonAcademy]

jacob mwesigwa yea if you have windows and areas for the light to come through it should work for interiors easily :)

[@wiselabsgworks]

Hello budy, how are you? I put the light presets but it doesn't look the same as what you showed in the video.

[@PolygonAcademy]

sorry for the late reply! I recently added a commercial licence option on gumroad for the files, and tiered pricing based on indie/large studio :)

[@fxbiani]

@@PolygonAcademy thanks, appreciate it!

[@plasid2]

thx but i have simple quastion i want change sun color how do this?

[@PolygonAcademy]

Select the directional light, change the light color in the details panel :)

[@dankpenguin3831]

Wow this is super useful thank you very much! Could you also make interior lighting presets? The ones in the marketplace are really old. Much love and thank you for helping the community

[@PolygonAcademy]

good idea, I will put it on my to do list, some cool interior lighting setups would be super handy :) thanks for the suggestion

[@ArtofLincolnHughes]

Good stuff man :)

[@PolygonAcademy]

thanks linc!

[@Al_Keatinge]

Anyone have slightly dark prop meshes after applying the lighting?

[@PolygonAcademy]

Al Keatinge if your props are dark after baking, it could be that your albedo texture values are too dark, i had this problem in the past in some scenes. Or your lightmap sizes might be a bit too small and its making it dark/muddy. Check the output log for any overlapping lightmap uv error warnings. Hope that helps :)

[@Al_Keatinge]

@@PolygonAcademy I'll give that a go thanks alot!

[@401Sly]

Excellent Stuff many thanks, but just to point out that it doesn't work in 4.19 appears to be 4.21 only Thanks again

[@401Sly]

Edit, apologies have the presets working in 4.19 by copying and pasting directly

[@PolygonAcademy]

Yea copy paste should work, i made these on 4.20 but its all basic actors that have been in unreal for ages :) glad you figured it out, enjoy :)

[@fret2442]

Thanks for the free presets! Your Feudal Japan breakdown has been amazing to watch, I felt like I learned something new every video. Do you have plans to do another series like it with a different environment? Keep up the great work, I think this channel is gonna really take off before you know it!

[@PolygonAcademy]

yup, got plenty of new tutorial/series stuff planned for the future, maybe some scifi stuff next ;)

[@NocteStudios]

You are just the best! Keep up with the good work

[@PolygonAcademy]

Thanks Nocte, hope you like them :)

[@NocteStudios]

@@PolygonAcademy Hey umm, i just switched from Blender to Maya. Still dealing with the modular assets, if you could make more videos about the modular assets workflow that would be great. Thanks!

[@IDMENTAL]

tnx!

[@joaojesus732]

Thanks for the free presets! ask if you can create a halloween environment? like/watch?v=suTUCHrYBG0

[@PolygonAcademy]

you're welcome!

[@wittywonka123]

Great content! That, alongside the feudal Japan video series are amongs the best I've seen on environment breakdown here on KZbin. Keep it up!

[@PolygonAcademy]

wow thats a huge compliment, thanks so much! more to come ;)

[@Chris-jo1zr]

My good man, would you be willing to do an overview for keeping build data low or how to avoid the dreaded 2gb FMemory build limit?

[@PolygonAcademy]

I'm not super familiar with those issues, but I would imagine using smaller lightmap sizes would really help. Most people crank their lightmaps to 256-1024 on almost every object, which is a huge mistake. Most console games you would actually be using 8-32 max for most objects, with 64+ reserved for extremely large objects or highly detailed shadowed areas.

[@Chris-jo1zr]

We're still learning and optimisation is a big thing. At the moment the way to avoid the 2 gig limit is to use streaming levels, if your build data goes above 2gig then splitting the level up (say put your furniture in a streaming level) you can spread the cost that way, there's also a way to override it if you use the source build of UE4 but I've not tried that yet. A good Arch Viz lighting and lightmap settings video would go a long way.

[@Chris-jo1zr]

​@@PolygonAcademynot a worry, it's a case of level streaming, in Arch Vis we don't understand the optimisation required for games so we just ramp everything up till it looks good. For anyone who has the same issues, level stream your lighting, and separate what you can into others, e.g your furniture.

[@candygonemad]

If I wanted to go into level design is it okay to use these in a portfolio piece or should I make my own?

[@PolygonAcademy]

yea you could, just make sure you credit where the assets came from in the portfolio post. you should also have some greybox layouts in a level design portfolio as well. bbut using assets from the marketplace to show you can compose a space is fine

[@candygonemad]

@@PolygonAcademy thanks! I actually just made a graybox scene yesterday in Unity for a project!
