Ok pretty much what the title says i have done everything i am supposed to do or at least i think, and looked every where here i have found nothing on this.

well lets cut to the chase. the problem im having is with the ground image after radiosity. I type in radiosity_quality 0/1 (either one) then radiosity_start about 3 mins latter it is finished and i save it by typing radiosity_save then it shows up it isnt like what it should be at all it is all grey and has a few orange spots on it i dont have any pics at the moment but i can get some if you want to see it.

Well who ever reads this thanks for your time.

Please Please Please Please Please Help He! I beg you.

I was about to start my own topic but then I saw this one. Yeah, I have the same problem, but not just with the ground (because I have cliffs and stuff).

I get no errors when I build the .scenario (however, I do notice that it's only 2KB large), and then I open it in Sapien and do the radiosity and I get what you see in the picture. Pretty much my level with the sky and all, but no textures.

Could somebody please help?

Well I had been following the tutuorial and the video tuturials that Kirks4 and Mattp001 made and I had problems with radiosity too.. If you get 3 sets of zeros I like was getting you need to wait til the 0 on the bottom left corner completely dissappears and then save the radiosity.. Cause before I would save I would only see the sky and vehicles/other objects just not the terrian... I hope this might help

Did you edit your shader in Geurilla so it maps your .bitmap file?

When you are in sapien and hit ~ and type radiosity_quality 0 and hit return. the 0 will stay there..And when you type radiosity_start wait til that 0 right about the ~ command line disappears completely then type radiostiy_save. And you should be able to see your terrain. That is what i had to do to know radiosity finished. I hope I didnt confuse you again.

Well, first of all, if you didn't have enough RAM (sapien uses about 100 MB when it's idle), your comp would crash.

Make sure you're runnig it from an Administrator account.. I'm not sure how it would help, but I'm PRETTY sure it WOULD.

it's because he didnt do radiosity_save after radiosity had got down to 0.
