Someone thought of a cool idea some time back. He said that he lets 3DS do the lighting for him and it saves the lightmaps to disk somewhere. Does anyone know hwo to do this? Is it possible to do it easily with a script/plugin? --------------------------- "Don't die for your country, make some other dumb bastard die for his" -General George S. Patton

Hey Nes8Bit..
You know what! there is already a program availble to do this!
It is a commericial package for 3DS Max called Lightscape. I''ve never actually used it. But the guys in the art department told me it was great. And supports radiosity too.

If anyone knows where I can download this or even an evaluaton copy please let me know! Maybe lightscaoe dot com. I''m gonna go look for it!

Argh. No evaluation copy that I can see. Anyhoo, is there a built in feature that does something similar?

No I don''t believe so..
Here is another link to a similar tool that plans game support. You''d have to email them for specifics.

www.luminist.com

Let me know if you find out anything!

Now I just need the time to model something worth lighting!
