Sapien Help: Won't Save Radiosity

OozyGorilla · Post by **OozyGorilla** » Mon Dec 18, 2006 1:19 pm

Every time I try to save the radiosity in sapien, sapien closes and the radiosity isn't saved. It does it every time. I've checked the debug.txt and can't figure out what it means.

Material Block is empty.

And...What does that mean? I'm still new at this stuff.

What patrick said, it means that in 3ds or gmax or maya or whatever you use, press the "M" key. you will see a material box that has no colour or bitmap assigned to it.

What he said, or make sure your picture is 512x512

*sigh* it doesn't have to be 512X512... it just has to be (power of two)X(power of two)

I was told the same thing way back when, and it ended up making my ground texture for one of my maps look like a gargled piece of trash.

You mean (2 ^ x) by (2 ^ x).
They are not powers of two, that would be x ^ 2, aka, x squared.
Valid values are:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, etc.

Anyway...if sapien gives you fuss like me, restort to tool. Hers the command.

tool lightmaps levels\yourmap\yourmap yourmap 0 0.000001

If you plan on releasing your map,

tool lightmaps levels\yourmap\yourmap yourmap 1 0.000001

not etc 2048 is the max if remember correctly

Alright, my bitmap is 1024 x 1024, there are no empty material blocks in Gmax and it still closes on me. I've also tried 512 x 512 and it didn't work either. The debug is the same (I think, I didn't go through and compare them)

insted of using sapien to do the riosity use tool.its a lot quicker.

tool command: tool lightmaps levels\mapname\mapname mapname 0 0.9

did you make all the textures in multi-sub object
