aha I see..thanks

Don't know wether this has been asked before:

How does a dynamic light influence these shadows?
Does it influence the shadwmap automatically, or by a special code, or not at all?

how dynamic lighting gets mixed in depends on the material. i think my example material works exactly like the standard material that gets used for blocks. first the dynamic vertex lighting gets added to the light map and the result gets multiplied with the texture.

Is there amn option to not use A6's lighting at all?
I would create my lightmaps in Max or Gile(s) and import them into A6... just as an option, there are allot of reasons to use both..characters..

thanks

to disable dynamic lighting try to change the example material to this:

Code:

---

material mtl_lightmap
{
	skin1 = bmap_lightmap;
	
	effect=
	"
	texture mtlSkin1;
	texture entSkin1;

	technique t0
	{
		pass p0
		{
			Texture[0]=<mtlSkin1>;
			Texture[1]=<entSkin1>;
			
			// light map
			TexCoordIndex[0] = 1;
			ColorArg1[0] = Texture;
			ColorOp[0] = SelectArg1;
			
			// multiply light map with texture
			TexCoordIndex[1] = 0;
			ColorArg1[1] = Texture;
			ColorOp[1] = Modulate2x;
			ColorArg2[1] = Current;
		}
	}
	";
}

Hey Ventilator

Thanks so much for this plugin, it's very good!

I know I could look into this myself just wanted to see if you knew off the top of your head. Can 3DGS dynamic lights affect either the mesh or lightmapped model?

Thanks

Yeah, they can. Dynamic lights work fine.

Why did I ask that when two posts above someone just asked the same question?



Thanks again Ventilator! This tool is going to help me out so much. Did you think of posting this in user contributions? It's a tool I thought would get more PR and would probably be seen more there...

thanks for your comments!

i thought the third party tools forum is the most fitting one but you are right, it doesn't seem to be frequented that much. i will think about it...

well... here comes the ultimate question... how much?
