r.shadow.virtual.onepassprojection.maxlightsperpixel



The top console variable if you get shadow flickering in #UnrealEngine when many overlapping movable lights are casting shadows on the same pixel. 32-64 values allow you to fix blocky shadow artifacts.

Unreal Engine + 3dsmax has the best pipeline due to the free Datasmith plugin. But different renders have different percentages of compatibility with materials. Here are my observations -

1. Default Physical Materials - 100%

2. Corona Render - 99%

3. V-ray - 75%

4. Redshift - 50%

The main problems are the loss of material properties, unlinked textures in self-illuminating materials, etc. Based on the photorealism of the Corona, this pipeline can be called the best at the moment.

I’ve launched my Patreon.
www.patreon.com/c/OlegVerenko

And I want to make it the main platform where I’ll share my full 3D / VFX / game dev workflow, and the most useful content:

• scene breakdowns and tutorials
• production-ready assets and 3d levels
• level design process
• source files & project files
• marketplace creation strategies

I’m building this as a practical resource for artists who want to create professional-quality work and monetize their skills.

After being laid off, you finally decided to start working for yourself? (Congrats! It is a good idea in 2026). I recommend checking out the new game engine S&box (#sbox). It's releasing at the end of April. And definitely the trend of the year in the gaming industry, and not just because of the contract with Steam. Finally, a worthy competitor to #Unity and #Unreal.

Looks like Copilot from Microsoft can generate for free nice low-poly 3d models...

Today the school turns 13 years old. That’s quite a milestone, and I’m very happy that the project is still going strong and will continue to develop.

Throughout this year, I’ve been asking myself — what can be created (in the AI era) that is truly useful and effective? Something that provides students with maximum value. After all, a lot of high-quality content is already available for free.

At the same time, I see how most professions are fading away and will be completely replaced by artificial intelligence within the next 2–3 years. Yet, there are also many niches that are rapidly growing.

I put myself in the shoes of a student who has no experience or clear direction but wants to grow and, most importantly, earn money in this field. That’s why I decided to create a separate universal CG Mentorship program, where I’ll work one-on-one with each student. We’ll shape their personal path and development together.

Of course, the focus will be on the software and pipeline that I work with. More information about it can be found here – cg-school.org/mentorship/
