SFAM - Arhurt

If you want your meshes to have good lighting, you'll need to create a second UV channel for each mesh exported. I had to learn this from the artists on BIA: Hell's Highway which helps to produce good clean light maps. The light map cannot contain overlapping uvs, you can use automatic unwrap, as long as they are contained in the 0-1 uv box. In 3dsmax its relatively easy, you just change to UV2 in the unwrap modifier.

Thanks Lee3dee, but if you mean the weird lightning on the double staircases it's because I mirrored them but the normalmap got inverted because I rotated those faces 90º on the UVW, pretty dumb thing to do.

Here's where I'm at now:

Now comes my favorite part: Texturing!

The sky feels very quake 3 like (no, thats not a compliment, its kind of flat)

But the rest is looking lovely

Thanks JeanPaul, that sky is just a placeholder.

Managed to get some more done today:

There are a few flipped faces on the ceiling, but I like how it turned out. Now I need to start filling those shelves with books and making the centerpiece fountain as well as the boat and a few floating tables and candles.

haven't seen the film, but that's straight outta Étienne-Louis Boullée from the 1700s, btw

looks good so far.

Looking cool mate Especially considering you're still learning the engine too

[arhurt]

Unfortunately I didn't have the time to work more on this and fix the many problems I found. Also, I could only do about half the stufdf I had planned. Oh well...

Since I won't be home for the weekend, tonight was my deadline.

Good luck I guess...
