Another helpful tip for beginners would be to not use the Vray camera when rendering preview images in max (unless they completely understand how it works). The RTT textures will look significantly different.
As Daniel says in the thread at the end, his shader has been supersceded by unity’s own implementation, and their lightmap specific shader is included for legacy purposes
I’m going to have a look at my dark and bright multipliers though because that might help
By the way, I found that:
There are two way to add light map, one is to use lightmap shader, another is the way you used in your tutorial.
same light map add to the model, different result.
I think the lightmap shader might not count in the scene lights, however with unitys current lightmap if you have it on a lightable material, the light will illuminate it
I dont understand, actually there is no light in my scene, I just use light map. After testing think your way is better than lightmap shader~~ but still a little difference with 3d max rendering ~~
Two things to look at for more accuracy is wether you use color mapping at all, set in your render to texture settings. Otherwise you can try what Filto suggests and look at your colormapping settings in the vray settings and changing your dark and bright multipliers, i havent tried this yet, havent felt there was something wrong but its worth a go definitely, might stop blown out highlights and things like that
yeah, not the light setting.
I think the gloss reflection is one reason,but still something wrong, for example, the bright part which is direct illuminated by the light is not that “bright” as rendered in 3d max. I think colormapping settings will helps.
Still testing.
Looks great. I notice the contact shadows in the corners and under the cube are bigger in the Unity version. Also the grain of the noise is a bit bigger. I assume this is due to the lightmap resolution in Unity?
The fine line running along the length of the cylinder is a UV mapping issue?
