So I'm following the tutorial here for directional lightmaps and whenever I get to importing the scenery, ect with OpenCOLLADA, Max just crashes on me during the import.
I just thought, ok whatever, I'll just import scenery with Aether but I forgot Aether sucks and that crashes on importing scenery in the newer versions of Max. Anyone else get it to work/even try? |

When i baked lightmaps for Hex Zone i didnt use aether, i just use lightmap eractor or something like that. Try puting manualy the scenery collision models on the mesh and render it.
I was trying to do this yesteday with ORFF bsp since tool corrupts lightmaps, but im not sure. |

My thread is very specific. Has anyone used directional lightmaps and gotten it to work? I guess not.

Quote: --- Original message by: sparky I think the real goal would be achieving this without open sauce. The whole reason directional lightmaps are even a thing is because of OS. Now if someone could make regular tool generate lightmaps faster using multi-core processors... that would be the sweet spot for me. |

Could someone actually answer Matthew?
Googling found this: https://bitbucket.org/KornnerStudios/opensauce-release/wiki/Halo1/Doc_Halo1_DirectionalLightmaps And this: http://www.modacity.net/forums/showthread.php?13546-Advanced-High-Quality-Lightmapping Its probably not of any help whatsoever but I try :( |

Let me simplify my question.
How do I import scenery from my scenario into 3ds max with the exact same placement and without a lot of hassle (like not having to manually place it one by one)? |

I think the short answer there is you cant. Placing by hand and just plugging in your coordinates with a max to Sapien conversion should work I've found that the difference between 3DS max and Sapien's conversion is roughly a factor of 10 (I think 100 generic units in max is 1 unit in Sapien, I could be wrong but that's what I remember). |

I think the short answer there is you cant. Except there is. The very tutorial I linked does it. I am just having problems getting it to work. However I suppose no one else beyond CMT themselves have done it. Nm: I installed 3ds Max 8 and got Aether's scenery import to work with that. Will just use Aether in Max 8 to import scenery then just re-open in Max 15 Edited by MatthewDratt on Apr 28, 2016 at 06:24 PM |
