shadmar Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Here is a gile lightmapper test I did using a scene from dexsoft using static, dynamic and hybrid shaders. 1. Dynamic shaders, no lightmaps, but normal and specular: 2. Lightmapped shaders (static) using gile lightmap as texture3, no normals no specular 3. Hybrid shaders (static) using gile lightmap as texture3, you can also see normal and specular My workflow for using Gile are 1. Open your model in UU3D 2. Save as b3d (which supports 2 uv maps and loadable by Gile) 3. Lightmap scene in Gile, then export as b3d. 4. Load the exorted model in UU3D save as gmf (tick multiple UV maps) 5. Add the gmf to LE3 6. Materials must have the exported lightmap as texture3 using either static lightmapped shaders (or the hybrid ones from me) 2 Quote HP Omen - 16GB - i7 - Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouGroove Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Complicated. It could be done in Blender, more easy without needing old tools. Quote Stop toying and make games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Nice. I'm trying to find a way to store the normal in the alpha channel of the lightmaps. I know it can be done, but a linear interpolation between values would give wrong results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Gilbert Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Looks nice shadmar! Yougroove, that really isn't that complicated and also irrelivent, if your after a really good low performance cost scene it's what workflow works and suits you best. Blender while being good isn't the answer to all 3d needs. Andy Quote The good news about computers is that they do what you tell them to do. The bad news is that they do what you tell them to do.

Josh Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Sometimes these kind of techniques start off a little convoluted, and then the workflow gets more streamlined to support them better.

Looking forward to see your working example then 1 Quote HP Omen - 16GB - i7 - Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouGroove Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I'm not sure imported lightmaps to be a good solution : Like i posted in another thread : Another LE3 point :Making BSP in LE3 and placing lights in Leadwerks 3, make that these Lights that will be used in static BSP lightmapping, and they will work as dynamic lights on models when running the game. Importing lightmapping from external programs, make that you loose the light information, so you won't have the dynamic lights. The only solution, would be that LE3 would look at ligths information in FBX file and would load them as some lights. So it would load your lightmapped model, and would create lights in the scene as the ones on the same FBX file.
