Good lightmap values Created 18 years ago2006-03-07 19:50:56 UTC by Xyos212

I want to make my lightmap values of my brushes in my 3d skybox low so its less expensive to render. Whats a good round value that looks ok, but not too expensive?

Your choice.

You'd want to use lower values for surfaces with little lighting difference, not specifically only in the 3D skybox - those surfaces are smaller and there's less of them usually so it's not really a significant gain to do this in the 3D skybox imho.

Lightmaps aren't very expensive compared to shaders and more advanced effects anyway... but saving on their resolution can have a significant impact on the maps filesize.

Also, what looks good is testable...

Thanks

Ask me about freaking big value things...

Note that the Spanish use ',' where many countries use a '.'. The highest skybox value is exactly three, not thirty thousand.
