|
||||
|
||||
### Smooth Transitions
|
||||
|
||||
**Interpolation**:
|
||||
- Use linear interpolation (lerp) for smooth transitions
|
||||
- Use curves for natural transitions
|
||||
- Update every frame or at intervals
|
||||
|
||||
**Transition Duration**:
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Testing
|
||||
|
||||
### Manual Testing
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Time Control**:
|
||||
- Add manual time control (slider)
|
||||
- Test each time of day
|
||||
- Verify transitions
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Visual Validation**:
|
||||
- Compare to reference photos
|
||||
- Verify lighting matches Dubai aesthetic
|
||||
- Check transitions are smooth
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Performance Testing**:
|
||||
- Test performance at different times
|
||||
- Verify no performance issues
|
||||
- Optimize if needed
|
||||
|
||||
### Automated Testing
|
||||
|
||||
- Use `scripts/lighting_validation.py` to validate:
|
||||
- Time transitions
|
||||
- Light intensity values
|
||||
- Color values
|
||||
- Performance
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
### Optimization
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Update Frequency**:
|
||||
- Update every frame (smooth)
|
||||
- Or update at intervals (performance)
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Interpolation**:
|
||||
- Use efficient interpolation
|
||||
- Cache values when possible
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Light Updates**:
|
||||
- Batch light updates
|
||||
- Update only when needed
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Dubai-Specific Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
### Climate
|
||||
|
||||
- **Desert Climate**: Hot, dry, clear skies
|
||||
- **Sun Intensity**: Very high during day
|
||||
- **Heat Haze**: Visible during day
|
||||
- **Clear Nights**: Clear, starry nights
|
||||
|
||||
### Lighting Characteristics

|
||||
|
||||
## Integration
|
||||
|
||||
### With Other Systems

||||
- **Time Control**: Set specific time for cinematic shots
|
||||
- **Transitions**: Use time transitions in cinematics
|
||||
- **Consistency**: Maintain time consistency across shots
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Issues
|
||||
|
||||
**Issue**: Transitions not smooth
|
||||
- **Solution**: Use curves for interpolation
|
||||
- **Solution**: Increase update frequency
|
||||
|
||||
**Issue**: Lighting doesn't match reference
|
||||
- **Solution**: Adjust color values
|
||||
- **Solution**: Adjust intensity values
|
||||
|
||||
**Issue**: Performance issues
|
||||

|
||||
### Common Issues
|
||||
|
||||
**Issue**: HDA not importing
|
||||
- **Solution**: Check Houdini Engine plugin is enabled
|
||||
- **Solution**: Verify Houdini installation path
|
||||
- **Solution**: Check Houdini version compatibility
|
||||
|
||||
**Issue**: Parameters not working
|
||||
- **Solution**: Verify parameters are exposed in HDA
|
||||
- **Solution**: Check parameter types match
|
||||
|
||||
**Issue**: Performance issues
|
||||
- **Solution**: Bake to static meshes
|
||||

# LOD Guidelines - Dubai Metaverse
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
This document describes LOD (Level of Detail) creation and usage guidelines for the Dubai Metaverse project.
|
||||
|
||||
## LOD System
|
||||
|
||||
### Overview
|
||||
|
||||
LODs reduce polygon count and detail for distant objects, improving performance while maintaining visual quality.
|
||||
|
||||
### When to Use LODs
|
||||
|
||||
- **Non-Nanite Assets**: Assets not using Nanite
|
||||
- **Performance**: When performance optimization is needed
|
||||
- **Distance**: For assets visible at distance
|
||||
|
||||
### When Not to Use LODs
|
||||
|
||||
- **Nanite Assets**: Nanite handles LOD automatically
|
||||
- **Close-Only Assets**: Assets only visible up close
|
||||
- **Simple Assets**: Very simple assets may not need LODs
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Texture Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
### Resolution Standards
|
||||
|
||||
- **Hero Assets**: 8K (8192x8192) - UDIM workflow
|
||||

|
||||
- **Background**: 2K (2048x2048)
|
||||
|
||||
### Texture Sets
|
||||
|
||||
All materials require:
|
||||
- Base Color
|
||||
- Normal
|
||||
- Roughness
|
||||
- Metallic
|
||||
- AO (Ambient Occlusion)
|
||||
|
||||
Optional:
|
||||
- Emissive (for neon, lights)
|
||||
- Height (for parallax/displacement)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
### Material Complexity

|
||||
- **Texture Sampling**: Optimize texture sampling
|
||||
- **Parameters**: Limit exposed parameters
|
||||
|
||||
### Optimization
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
- **Instances**: Use material instances
|
||||
- **Texture Streaming**: Enable texture streaming
|
||||
- **Virtual Textures**: Use for large textures (optional)

# PCG Workflow - Dubai Metaverse
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
This document describes the Procedural Content Generation (PCG) workflow for the Dubai Metaverse project, including building placement, road props, and vegetation.
|
||||
|
||||
## PCG Framework Basics
|
||||
|
||||
### What is PCG?
|
||||
|
||||
Procedural Content Generation Framework is Unreal Engine 5's built-in system for procedurally placing and generating content in levels. It uses graph-based workflows to define rules for content placement.
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Concepts
|
||||
|
||||
- **PCG Graph**: Visual graph defining placement rules
|
||||
- **Input**: Splines, volumes, points, or other data
|
||||
- **Output**: Placed actors, meshes, or other content
|
||||
- **Rules**: Logic defining how content is placed
|
||||
|
||||

# Texturing Workflow - Dubai Metaverse
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
This document describes the texturing workflow from Substance Painter to Unreal Engine for the Dubai Metaverse project.
|
||||
|
||||
## Workflow Overview
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Model Preparation**: Prepare model with UVs
|
||||
2. **Substance Painter**: Create textures
|
||||
3. **Export**: Export texture sets
|
||||
4. **Import to Unreal**: Import and create materials
|
||||
5. **Assignment**: Assign materials to meshes
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Model Preparation
|
||||
|
||||
### UV Mapping
|
||||
|
||||
- **UDIM Workflow**: Use UDIM for hero assets (8K textures)
|
||||
- **Standard UVs**: Use standard UVs for primary/background assets
|
||||
- **UV Layout**: Optimize UV layout for texture space
|
||||
- **Seams**: Minimize visible seams
|
||||
|
||||
### Export for Texturing
|
||||
|
||||
- **Format**: FBX or OBJ
|
||||
- **Include**:
|
||||
- High-poly mesh (for baking)
|
||||
- Low-poly mesh (for texturing)
|
||||
- UVs
|
||||
- Material IDs (if using)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Substance Painter Workflow
|
||||
|
||||
### Project Setup
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Create Project**:
|
||||
- Import low-poly mesh
|
||||
- Import high-poly mesh (for baking)
|
||||
- Set texture resolution (8K for hero, 4K for primary)
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Bake Maps**:

||||
- Normal map (from high-poly)
|
||||
- Ambient Occlusion
|
||||
- Curvature
|
||||
- Position
|
||||
- Thickness
|
||||
|
||||
### Texture Creation
|
||||
|
||||
#### Base Color

||||
- **Content**:
|
||||
- Glass: 0.05-0.1 (very smooth)
|
||||
- Metal: 0.1-0.3 (smooth)
|
||||
- Concrete: 0.4-0.6 (rough)
|
||||
- **Notes**: Critical for material realism
