Still working on my snow level, I was just wondering why those pine trees are lighted like this :/

maybe their origins are inside geometry? unless im mistaken, the lighting of a prop is determined where its origin is

Turn self shadowing off.

Turn self shadowing off.

Yes but they looks fullbright.

I don't know why but the no-snow version doesn't have this problem.

You have to do full compiles for trees to be properly lit. Static prop polys I think?

 

[YM]

Make sure that you add the name of the model to the lights.rad, cause there are big areas of transparent polys on those trees, if you don't the whole poly is shading the leaves underneath rather than just the bit of the texture that is actually opaque. (for -textureshadows)

Then of course the obvious: run -staticproppolys and the vertex one I forget the name of. Make use of mat_fullbright 2 to see the actual shading with no texture to see if they ARE acting the strange way you think, or if they just LOOK like they are

Next on the tinker list: self shadowing for vertex lighting as earkham says

Then check normal maps (props don't use vertex lighting if they have a normal map...thanks valve)

Hooo, that explain a lot of things :O


But yeah, it's a full compil with all statictruc in it. i will try to make my own light.rad

Valve's lights.rad does contain everything these days.

Never hurt anyone to make sure.

My second potential entry into the BATT contest, pl_Nippon (Nippon, pronounced Nee-pon, is Japanese for "Japan"). Aly's Assignment Frenzy entry gave me the idea. :3

 

[littleedge]

Good to see some BATT entries. Keep going guys! Grazr, that looks pretty nice.

 

[Void]

hats and miscellaneous items

 

[Batandy]

I like that misc idea, void! But the last hat on the right looks too much like the Bombing run!

Also...

still working on it

 

[Rexy]

Bad lighting in most places, but getting there.

 

[grazr]

Rexy: I usually change the brightness on spot lights to about 100-150, as opposed to 255. Makes them less like "OMG, I'M A LIGHTING EFFECT OVER HERE!". Less visual polution and more subtle; especially against the dark woods where they stick out and stab at your eyes.
