RE: [Nel] 3DSMax question : lightmaps parameters

[Matthieu Besson]

Hi phlam,

Of course the radiosity (mis-called should be called soft shadowity:))
is available for landscape and meshes. To activate the pseudo-radiosity
on mesh objects just turn on the NeL Export/Options/Soft shadow. And
setup a directional light (omni and the like are not supported for now).
You do not need to set oversampling (which is far longer for no better
result). Take care if you have texture with alpha keying, the ss-code do
not support them (in this case try a normal shadowing with a 64x
oversampling).

Regards,

Matthieu Besson

I couldn't get any pixel of radiosity. I thought I had read somewhere
that
radiosity was computed with lightmaps.

Are they only available for landscapes or can they be used with mesh
objects
? Is there a special parameter to activate them ?
