Batch Lightmapping
Posted: Sat May 06, 2006 2:26 am
Would it be possible to generate a set of lightmaps, based on a number of iterations of a moving light source (sun), either through the upcoming SDK or natively supported?
Basically the feature would allow the user to calculate the sun's path rather than single position and determine how many steps to calculate (6:30a, 7:00a, ...). The batch would run and the user would have an entire day-night cycle.
I know this feature may be very specialized but I figured I would ask it sooner rather than later. If possible through the SDK we'd be happy to code it as a plugin.
