Lighting rendering incorrectly

aiqbal · Feb 2015

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 to correct itself. Anyone have any ideas?

Just for your information I am using Unreal 3.

Cheers

Sounds to me like it is probably something with the lighting mips (a smaller version of the map used at a distance), as you said the problem seems to go away as you get closer.\

So if it were the Lighting mips, any suggestions as to what I could do to resolve it?

Just open the lightmaps in the UE editor, and disable the mipmapping on them.

In UDK, they were saved into the map file, so I assume they are there in UE4 too.

Okay, sorry. Your project is saved into at least 2 files. A map file, and a package file. You can have more than one packages though. So. You can look into these files in the content browser. Search for the map file in the content browser. When you found it, and click onto it, you will see your lightmaps inside it. Then you can open op their properties, and set anything you want. The mipmapping in this case.
