Hi,
I was working on a program that creates baked radiosity lighting for models and thought you all might be interested. Its VERY simple but I will upload the code anyway. You can make any changes you want as long as you credit me if you use the results in a commercial project. All you need is a .wmb file and the program will load it and apply radiosity over time. It will then save the results of each models skin2 (make sure that A) each model that you want mapped has this and B) the model does not share ANY of this skin). It takes into account models and blocks but only creates lightmaps for models. I'm sure one could add a lot of functionality to this. As soon as I finish my iridium API, this will be uploaded (there are a few things that I need to document about this). -Mike-

does it only work for A7, or also for A6?
It sounds good anyway, and I think a lot of users will like it.

nice!

I use blender or max for lightmapping, but I would love to see this.

does blender or max support .wmb files? If it does than I'm afraid this is worthless

no they doesn't support wmb files

No, it´s not worthless!
A 3dgs based model lightmapper would be fantastic.
You won´t need any other tools for the lightmap then,
everything is done in the 3dgs workflow.

It´s definately a great help for all MED users.

It is nice to read, but why are you always posting about things you may release in about 3 months and not just at the moment you are done and then directly with a link. Or at least not before you´ve got something to show...
And I am wondering why you plan to generate static radiosity if your "engine" does it at realtime at speeds faster than gs using the fixed function pipeline for ordinary lighting (okay sry, I may mixed some wrong things together :P)?

What happened to the SSAO shader that you were going to
contribute, or the "Full Screen Antialiasing for render
targets" contribution?

Good intentions are great, but continually announcimg what you
plan on contributing and then not following through, makes your future statments seem dubious at best

all these things got bumped into Iridium.

Also, The radiosity in Iridium doesn't support several bounces which makes baking light look better. Plus, this can be used for those who don't want to buy Iridium or can't use it. The downside here is that obviously the light is not dynamic.
