[?] xpack objects-lightmaps

[J.F.Leusch69]

hi there,

i would like to ask if the xpack objects (not the statics) have lightmaps.
i know that the statics havnt any, but what about the xpack overgrowth?
i want to know, because i saw some nice trees in the pr objects, but wasnt sure if i can use them.

please help

cheers leusch

thanks so far, but is there a way to make sure they have lightmaps, can i just put them in a map anmd generate LMs and than i will see the shadows???

terrain lightmap are independent of the object lightmaps... everything will generate terrain lightmaps (lms)

the actual shadows on the objects themselves are what is dependent on the lightmap samples..

vegitation doesnt have lightmap samples so not to worry...

[J.F.Leusch69]

so vegitation doesnt need LM samples?

EDIT: i am confused!

maybe i can just get a yes or no, cos my head stopps thinking

overgrowth ie, vegetation has no lightmaps, they use a system called the overgrowth shadow map to control there lighting which most maps do not need/use. They can shadows onto the terrain yes but they do not need lightmap samples to do this.

Personally I would not use the Xpack stuff.
