Eternity

[Madcowthomas]

So process the lightmap and says take 14's to complete, that just for the first row.

Look over and now says "Eternity".

Really don't have eternity to wait for this to finish here, but if I have too.... better one damm good looking lightmap.

Well gave me a good laugh today, and thought ask a few questions.

How is everyone's project doing since I'm waiting for eternity here? Anyone else out there stuck in eternity also?

My goodness! How big of a lightmap are you trying to generate?

[Madcowthomas]

Only took about 2 minutes to generate, but was so funny to see the Eternity pop up. rofl

I got that a long time ago. Generally for spring the smallest lightmap I generate is at least 8192x8192 and I've gotten that many times. Oddly enough, only when I use mosaic tiling...

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for the reminder; fixing this is has been on the to-do list for quite a while. I don't recall if it's a problem in the formula that calculates the total number of progress ticks, if it was a problem in the way I cleared progress ticks after the shadow-mapping routine finishes, if it was a problem that I'm not calling the tick update function frequently enough, or all of the above. I'll look into it shortly.

Cheerio,
Aaron.
