Hammer 3d lighting preview WORKING

Now that's a GREAT example

PrtScn?

And what a great leap forward for map editors...

Now maybe they'll all have lit preview. :wink:

how'd he do it?

I only get a black/pink checkerboard ;/

interesting

I think that the lighting preview is still experimental. The way its rendered on that example might be realtime lightmapping (yeah, w00t-t3h-fu€k), because, no realtime lighting technique does need so long to calculate and does not work so slow. So, the lightmap is updated on every light-move, but only the moved light is being rendered. Maybe, the myth, Hammer uses software rendering, causes the very, very, very low performance (5-6 FPS, even on so a shitty system *duck* *runaway*). Well, have fun

Yes, the screenshot is bullshit. You need to look very close. You will see a brightness difference between the floor who "touches" the cone and the rest of the room. See it?

but its just tnl light right so you wont ever get more than like 8 lights runnign at once ?!

at least they're pushing for something i guess

I read on other forums that this is fake, so i'll believe it when i see it on my computer

Plus if his computer can hardlly handle it, i wouldnt call this a sucess.

Your missing the point Barra, many thought this would be impossible because of the way the radiosity is calculated in Source. This is a huge step forward, and its very cool to see Valve is working on it.

doesn't brazil do realtime radiosity?
