I'm trying to make a hilly landscape, but whenever i get to running radiosity i end up with some weird shadows.
 Anybody got any insight into this? |

Your ID's in max and/or UV mapping. I'm betting your UV Maps.

ive tried re mapping it a few times, im pretty sure its something with the geometry, i just cant seem to figure out what.
Btw the problem is the hard shadows, not the texture. Edited by blake_mcguire on Oct 14, 2009 at 09:39 PM |

Your sky looks like dark blue Blah in all posted pics. They dont look different. Try using BG's sky.
