[SOLVED] Baking AO to texture map.

[B@z]

hmm i dont know how is it in blender, i did it with giles, and worked as expected

ah btw, u have to set up the materialtype in irrlicht to enable lightmap

map->setMaterialType(EMT_LIGHTMAP/*_M2 or _M4 if u wanna brighten it*/);

something like this

[Iyad]

Code: Select all

map->setMaterialType(EMT_LIGHTMAP/*_M2 or _M4 if u wanna brighten it*/); 

Yes i use this for static meshes.

The real problem is;

It only works for static from what I know but thats no problem as Gile[s] does not support animated models anyway.

B3D | Blitz3D
import+export, full support for static geometry and hierachy, and all material settings

So how can i add lightmaps to b3d models (exported with Gandalfs exporter)? Or simply, how can i have non real time shadows on my mesh?

Thx for answering

you could bake the lights and textures and just use that as your texture in irrlicht... Haven't ever used blender much or been good at it though so it may not work well but figured it may help you . I don't know which menu this was in though...

i am using blender myself and have been baking tons of AO maps. I just put it as another layer in photoshop and set the layer to multiply. ta'da done.

b3d supports lightmaps also for animated meshes, and Irrlicht would also load them as expected if properly exported. So my bet is that the lightmap material is not exported.

Yes Hybrid, I dont think Gandalfs exporter export 2nd texture layers. (Well i tryed many times I didnt get it...)

YES!!!
It worked thanks alot Virion.
