About KatsBits.com

If you’re interested in making content for games or making your own games and interactive projects then KatsBits is for you. The site has tutorials, resources and information you won’t find anywhere else. Learn the ‘how’, and more important to the budding developer, the ‘why’ things are done the way they are, ‘principles’ rather than ‘particulars’. This includes information on making and optimising 3D models and meshes, texture making, general game development hints and tips and a host of other things related to asset and content creation.

Unfortunately this has always been the case with 3D rendering, which means that many artists who don’t know about linear workflow learn to light scenes by using a handful of tricks to try and get results you’d expect in real life. Things like adding more lights, boosting the environment/GI levels to incredibly high values, adding some ambient lights with shadows turned off etc etc. This all adds to the amount of calculations being made by the renderer for no real reason as all of the data is in fact already there, providing you tell the program to show it to us correctly.

If you are interested in high-quality rendering, you might wonder if the images displayed on your CRT, LCD, film, or paper will result in light patterns that are similar enough to the “real world” situation so that your eye will perceive them as realistic. You may be surprised to learn that there are several steps in the digital image creation pipeline where things can go awry.

The sea environment is filled with natural sounds, although increasingly many anthropogenic sources have contributed to the general noise budget of the oceans.
