Re: [Nel] 3DSMax question : lightmaps parameters

[Lionel Berenguier]

Additionally, Landscape can get light contribution from the sky, which gives
some effect of radiosity. But this is available only for Landscape.

This is tunable in the config file of zone_lighter:

// Enable the sky global illumaniation. 0 disable, 1 enable
sky_contribution = 1;
// The sky global illumaniation intensity . [0 ~ 1]
sky_intensity = 0.50;
// Accuracy of the sky global illumaniation algorithm in meter
global_illumination_cell_size = 5;
// Side length of landscape used to compute the sky global illumaniation  in
meter
global_illumination_length = 600;


Cheers

lionel.
