Displacement lighting oddly?

Yet another help thread for today. I have a situation i can't figure out (again). Some of my displacements blend correctly, and some don't. All of them follow a power of 2, are sewn properly and use like textures (grass to ground & rockwall to forest).

In the screenshot the embedded image is an area that doesn't work, the surrounding does. The exact same texture combination is used. How can i get the lighting to work right for all of them?

No one knows? I tried setting the lighting scale on all the displacements to the same value and still no avail.

Getting kinda frustrated here. :(


edit: forgot to add it does this on a fast compile AND a full compile. :\

Just tried moving them around and bit and resewing, still no difference.

I dont get this lighting effect in hammer if that makes any difference.

Well Hammer doesn't have lighting ;) (well, it does, be we don't talk about that camera mode around here)

I can't quite tell from the screenshot, are these displacements at significant angles from each other? i.e. wall and floor. It could just be that that is how they are lighting due to the local conditions/geometry.

These are walls and floors rounded out. The working ones and non working ones. Also should point out that every plane is separate and not a cube set to power of 2.

What bothers me is that it works in some places and not in others. I mean, one of the places it works is where the geometry travels into the skybox! but not always, and not always within the map.

No compile errors, no hammer errors.


It's something stupid I am overlooking most likely, i just can't think of what.

Oh god... *bangs head on keyboard*





Building cube maps fixed this. I knew it was something stupid!:blushing:
