Natural lighting REQUIRES a large chunk of your objects to not be baked to avoid lighting glitches. That's not the same as boxing the map.
I just hate how larger (non baked) rocks compare to smaller (baked) rocks. They usually look completely different.
No one should ever let another person tell them they are or are not going to hell or God hate's them or anything of the sort... it is not up to any human to judge another person in this way...
Not only do you owe forgehub a lighting dissertation, but all of these insightful posts need to be kept somewhere better than WAYWO...
This isn't an official technical explanation so I might be wrong in some areas, but this is the simplest way I can explain light baking: When an object's light bake is on, it has its own light source, creating an evenly lit surface on all of its "faces". For illustration purposes, we could assume that each side of the green cube that appears when we select an object represents the allotted area of an object's face. When an object's light bake is turned off, it is then being lit up only by the canvas lighting. Light bake off has more realistic shadows and light behavior; however, these faces do not have granular values assigned to them. This means that even if a small portion of a face is hit by the canvas light, it will illuminate the entire face. This is what contributes to the discoloration of objects when they are turned off. Also remember that your lightmap is your available budget for locally lit objects. Once you overload this budget, the map no longer has enough memory available to properly light each object. (I believe it reallocates that memory somewhere, but I'm not certain.) Therefore, natural lighting requires you to manipulate both the location of your objects and which ones are baked or not. Which is why covering your map in a box is so useful. It lets you turn the light baking off and gives you an even-valued surface to work with. It's basically putting your whole map in a dark room. Multi also mentioned the shadows being darker in a box than without, and that's pirmarily because of ambient lighting. We cannot turn off ambient lighting on a canvas, so the light is going to bounce and fill in the darker areas.
okay so clarification. I didn't mean it that way. People place people into buckets not saved vs unsaved, but "acceptable" vs "untouchable" and that is not okay for people to be doing to each other. Of course, if you actually want eternal life you should probably accept it when it is offered to you. So, there are groups of people who think they are going to somehow convince a gay person they must change or they are going to hell. In reality, they are (potentially) not receiving salvation because they have not accepted it, vs it being denied to them for being gay. The person doing the mis-teaching in that situation may actually prevent them from ever accepting it, because it then sounds unreasonable to believe in such things. But to your point, to not tell someone that purposely avoiding salvation is stupid, is itself stupid and cruel. (you would have to hate them)
There is no hell. Do whatever you want. But don't be surprised when someone gives you a swift kick to the balls.
"Do whatever you want" Hmmmm.. Where have I heard that before... View attachment 60875 Don't worry people, the boogey man doesn't exist. Go about your materialistic lives thinking you are the highest evolved beings in the universe. Oh, and remember negative aligned 4th dimensional entites are just things of fairytales. It's not like the "world elite" worship them or anything and literally every culture world wide has some form or concept of them. It's just a coincidence, after all I'm the most retarded conspiracy theorist on this site.
MY BRAIN IT'S..... GROWING! Soon I will be so ascended I will need a new skull, because reading this information is making my brain grow so fast.
@Goat In terms of chroma-boxing, what canvases are "the best". I know you've said they all have different looks and properties but what exactly are they? Why should I chroma box on Tidal or Alpine vs Barrens or Glacier?
