About (real time) lighting and textures, I have the idea of another kind of texture, there is already diffuses, normal, glow etc. We need some « do not shadow » textures. I mean, since shadow are cast over surfacelights (or just textures that looks like a lamp) , we need one mask to force the real t...

Hey, Sorry to haven't get the time to read that thread before. I just want to say first that work is awesome. By the way, I don't know yet if it's what I want for Unvanquished, but I want a game with that. :thumbup: I really like iron sight mechanism, that's why I like playing True Combat for exampl...

This my ideas to avoid the more frustration while mapping for dæmon based games. Dæmon is an open source engine, so Unvanquished is not only a game, it's also fun stuff to hack with. So, we must offer a nice mapping experience to see people having fun to hack with the dæmon engine and Unvanquished. ...

Just one thing to add to the "lightmapping with an external raytracer" dream, it must not be forgotten that any new raytracer must render both the lightmap and the lightgrid. That's one of the two issues of anthill in unvanquished (a tremulous map baked with blender by Seeeker), it does no...

So, just for fun, samplesize 8 (“final” build netradiant profile), compile time 11m22: http://dl.illwieckz.net/b/q3map2/surfacelight-bounce/unvanquished_2016-02-21_024441_000.jpg samplesize 16 (“test” build netradiant profile, 16 is q3map2 default), compile time 3m48: http://dl.illwieckz.net/b/q3map...

By the way, about the last picture:

This is how the dock much look while viewed from the tunnel if HDR was done by the renderer.

So, I removed all pointlights, disabled shadowcasting and I'm only hacking with surfacelight and bouncing. I got that: http://dl.illwieckz.net/b/q3map2/surfacelight-bounce/unvanquished_2016-02-20_193029_000.jpg So, it looks very nice but the bounce is buggy sometime, I can probably fix this issues d...

I'm using the metro map for theses tests because it's a nice example of a map mimicking real stuf. In fact, there is a very easy way to get nice rendering with q3map2: if you never map some stuff that exists for real. Looks at the lamp for example in the metro map, if you remove them, you remove alm...
