Mmm...lightmaps breakthrough

Well, for a very long time I've been trying to get these to work. To be clear, there is not a new release planned for SparkEdit. However, this breakthrough was made because of some research I'm doing on the mapfile format(s) for other projects, and this was a nice bonus discovery.

I'm using lightmaps instead of regular textures at the moment, but I may get proper blending to work soon.

So anyway...check it out!

wow this looks like its going somewhere... maybe when u get the blending and every thing perfected all together u can make a plugin or a patch for sparky... just a thought, i bet i would enjoy this if it could be used as a tool.

Dude, Gren, you rock, lightmaps... textures... models... sparkedit is comming close to how good things look in sapien, just without those extra load times. ;P


And thats the reason why I still don't see the fourth installment of the mapfiles info/tutorial.

To be clear about the update:

So there is no update? Great work anyways. When are you going to go work for Bungie? ;)
