Can you recommend any [free] programs for generating lightmaps? I'm very interested in this, but I don't have any way of generating lightmaps (and I'm cheap - lol )

im telling you if you can just figure out how to import to blender, its simply a matter of clicking on button and you have it.

this could work too. has anyone tried it?

it doesnt export lightmaps, it is only used for irrlicht, people keep bringing up irredit, and irredit is not meant for any other engine than irrlicht.

no, i had a look... it can export collada format and the light map but getting this collada file into 3dgs could be a bit tricky.

Hi,
I'm having a little trouble using this plugin.
I have my mdl7 with the texture and the mdl7 with the second uvmap with the lightning map apliied. Im ready to go. I just dont know where to start. I donwloaded the plugin. Where do i place it? and how do i use it?

Sorry for the n00bish questions. lol

Put it in the acknex_plugins folder in your gamestudio folder. Then check out the demo files that came with it, I think that should have enough info for you.. or if they aren't in there, I'm pretty sure there is a link in this thread to it. It works very well!
