Well, i've been programing like made this week, and this is what i cam up wiht. Making your levels in MAX, but dont' know how to get those pro lightmaps without using actual max lights?? Don't have a powerful enough comp to handle real time shadows?? HERS YOUR ANSWER!!!

It's a plugin that calculates the lights in the scene, and redoes all the objects texture maps. Well, don't understand?? Take a look at the screen. This is what it does:


NO DB LIGHTS ADDED!!!! ALl i did was load a model and postition the camera. Neet huh??

Still buggy, gonna work it out, then don't know, probably do somehthing with it.

cya

What is the sourse for the light/shadow? This looks so good I'm kinda scepticle. Oh, how about memory, this eat up the frame rate?

This is Truth!

he means it takes the current textures on an object then recreates the texure image to include the shadows and light as they are in the scene. Great for stationary 3D scenes, obviously the shadows dont update.

Lightwave has this built in cant remember the command

Its called "Texture Bake"- its in Max 5 - uses UVW unwrap to remake textures with shadows overlaid. However, I havent managed to get it to work yet!! Not that I've spent a long time trying...What exporter did you use?
