This classification is not based on whether a material is a conductor or non-conductor. Rather, it focuses on the visual and optical properties of the material. These properties can be visualized through the output texture of the creator software.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, aged wood is an example of a non-conductor material that appears brown and lacks glossiness. On the other hand, glass typically has a blue tint and exhibits high levels of reflection and glossiness. By considering such material properties, creators can generate more accurate and realistic textures that simulate the appearance of real-world materials.<\/p>\n<p>I used Substance Painter to export five different types of maps: BaseColor, Emissive, Height, Normal, and Occlusion Roughness Metalness (ORM).

traditional rendering systems. To create a material in real-time rendering, one typically starts by creating it from scratch in a program like Unreal Engine (UE) and connecting various input nodes such as vectors, parameters, and texture maps to material nodes. This approach offers greater flexibility and allows the user to easily break physical rules when creating materials. In contrast, traditional rendering engines like Arnold, Redshift, or Renderman have built-in nodes that require the user to set specific attributes. This approach is more restrictive and requires the user to adhere to physical rules when creating materials.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); text-align: var(--text-align); font-size: 1rem;\">When working in the Unreal Engine, I begin by setting up a standard lighting setup for the entire project, consisting of an HDRI and directional light. This allows me to focus solely on material creation without worrying about changes in lighting. Additionally, Unreal Engine provides a set of useful tools to assist in creating accurate and realistic materials, such as the Macbeth checker and reference balls which can be accessed from the visual effects tool tab in Unreal Engine. These tools offer reference points for color and lighting, enabling the user to create materials that are both visually appealing and physically accurate.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4743b6eb elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"4743b6eb\"

For instance, in the bridge shot, I incorporated multiple spotlights to emulate a fairy light effect.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-60f189b e-grid e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"60f189b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a4f9720 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a4f9720\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"793\" src=\"https:\/\/palmpiraban.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/07_lighting-768x793.png\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-325\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/palmpiraban.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/07_lighting-768x793.png 768w, https:\/\/palmpiraban.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/07_lighting-290x300.png 290w, https:\/\/palmpiraban.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/07_lighting-991x1024.png 991w, https:\/\/palmpiraban.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/07_lighting.png 1216w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">a lot of lights in bridge shot<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c621388 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c621388\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"622\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/palmpiraban.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/contactsheet-622x1024.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-324\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/palmpiraban.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/contactsheet-622x1024.png 622w, https:\/\/palmpiraban.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/contactsheet-182x300.png 182w, https:\/\/palmpiraban.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/contactsheet-768x1264.png 768w, https:\/\/palmpiraban.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/contactsheet-933x1536.png 933w, https:\/\/palmpiraban.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/contactsheet.png 1062w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 622px) 100vw, 622px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">all of lighting shot<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-82dac5c elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"82dac5c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0570b2b e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"0570b2b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5124d29 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5124d29\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Rendering<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9e40539 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9e40539\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>For my project, I decided to use ray tracing because I wanted to gain a deeper understanding of real-time rendering techniques.

This project, part of my MA studies, required me to design, model, shade, light, render, and composite. Using TurboSquid&#8217;s bed and sofa models, I created a visually stunning 3D environment that could be rendered in real-time while maintaining a high degree of realism and detail.<\/p><p>Developing a lighting system that could accurately simulate natural lighting conditions was a significant challenge. I had to create a dynamic lighting system that would adjust the lighting based on time of day and weather conditions while ensuring consistency across all the assets in the scene. Additionally, creating realistic shading effects required a thorough understanding of the physical properties of different materials and how they interact with light.&nbsp;<\/p><p><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); text-align: var(--text-align); font-size: 1rem;\">To complete the project, I worked on sound design, collaborating with Hairong Zhao to create soundscapes that would help enhance the overall immersive experience of the environment. I would like to express my gratitude to my adviser, Ariyawat Meechoui, and Professor Andres Galeano, Tatchaphon Lertvirojkul, for their invaluable assistance and helpful suggestions. Their guidance and support were instrumental in helping me bring this project to fruition. Overall, I hope this article will help those interested in creating visually stunning environments and immersive experiences, and I welcome anyone with questions or need more information to contact me at thitaphon.piraban@gmail.com.<\/span><br><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-719e0b65 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"719e0b65\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3a37e8d3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-161 elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"3a37e8d3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>3D Environment Visual Storytelling in UE4 Project Overview &#8220;Cozy Cabin&#8221; is a 3D environment storytelling project that I created using Maya, Adobe Substance 3D Collection, and Unreal Engine for my M.A. Visual Effects project at Savannah College of Art and Design.
