<h2>lightmap Editing</h2>
|
||
<p><b>Setting resolution</b> </p>
|
||
<p>You can set the resolution of the light map on a per face basis to get
|
||
sharper shadows in isolated areas. As a rule, you should not use values smaller
|
||
than 4. </p>
|
||
<p>To edit resolution an a per face level, go into lightmap mode by pressing
|
||
shift L. You will now see a checker pattern on the world. This is a
|
||
representation of the size of the light map pixel density. You can now select
|
||
the faces you want to edit. You are now able to change the mapping the exact
|
||
same way that you would edit texture placement. </p>
|
||
<p><b>Optimizing</b> </p>
|
||
<p>To make your map as efficient as possible, you should set the light map
|
||
resolution to lower values for areas that the player cannot go to or see up
|
||
close. </p>
|
||
<h2>Lighting Bugs</h2>
|
||
<p><b>Bleeding</b> </p>
|
||
<p>Light bleeding usually happens at the base of a wall or in a corner. You can
|
||
avoid this by making sure your wall edges are cut to fit. </p>
|
||
<p> </p>
|
||
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="lm_bleed3.jpg" width="600" height="450"><br>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p> </p>
|
||
<p>Terrain light bleeding is harder to fix. In COD2 this happened mostly with
|
||
walls that are placed in open areas. </p>
|
||
<p> </p>
|
||
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="lm_bleed.jpg" width="600" height="450"><br>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p> </p>
|
||
<p>To fix this, the terrain must be made to fit the brush wall. </p>
|
||
<p><b>black or glowing patches</b> </p>
|
||
<p>Black or glowing patches can occur on any patch surface, but it mostly
|
||
happens on decals that are placed on walls. </p>
|
||
<p> </p>
|
||
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="lm_dark.jpg" width="600" height="450"><br>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p> </p>
|
||
<p>To fix black or glowing faces, go into light map mode (shift L) and use
|
||
natural mapping on these patches. </p>
|
||
<p>In some cases, there is a decal floating over the surface. To fix this, move
|
||
the decal so that it is not floating. </p>
|
||
<p><b>Seams and Stretching</b> </p>
|
||
<p>Light seams and stretching are breaks in the continuity of the UV<55>s on a
|
||
light mapped surface. This is common on patch surfaces, but can also appear on
|
||
brush surfaces as well. </p>
|
||
<p> </p>
|
||
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="lm_cont2.jpg" width="600" height="450"><br>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p> </p>
|
||
<p>To fix light seams, go into light map mode (shift L) and edit the mapping
|
||
until it is continuous. </p>
|
||
<h2>Model Tweaking</h2>
|
||
<p>If you see a static model that looks too bright or too dark, you may be able
|
||
to fix it by moving it slightly into or out of the direct light. </p>
|
||
<p> </p>
|
||
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="lm_model.jpg" width="600" height="450"><br>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>You can also tweak model lighting using the indirectslightcale and
|
||
directlightscale settings. </p>
