Thanks Dude...

Yeah the Bmp's are 8 bit and 256 colour depth... they should be working... they do work until i convert it to a .mod... then the ship is fine except the windows and necceles dont glow...

if all else fails 24 bit always works....

I never managed to fix the illumination map... so I decided to colour the illumination map even brighter and it shows through... he he... I cheated but it works.... although if someone does work out why it never worked I would appreciate it

*Edited to fix link.

markyd... check ur inbox... you got a present

(you might want to rename the mod file)

btw I couldn't open ur max file so i had to open the mod file. so while i was fixing the lightmaps (don't know what the problem was...worked fine over here) i also went ahead and detatched the smoothing groups so the mod file would stay smooth when exported

. my only suggestion may be to increase the overall brighteness of the illum map in photoshop using curves

MADNESS

It still doesnt work for me... wierd... but it does show in the taldren attribute editor... wierd wierd wierd... Im gonna have to stick it ingame to see if it shows then

Thanks TUS

they are hard to see in max unless you turn off the global light. try that and see if it works

markyd · « **Reply #33 on:** December 02, 2004, 02:11:10 pm »

yeah they do show... just not very bright....

I must just be fussy... oh well thans Tus

Tus-XC · « **Reply #34 on:** December 02, 2004, 04:04:13 pm »

in the material editor you will want to check the color box by illum (don't go into the illumiantion map editor), watch how bright they get then.....

(note, this does not like using white that much, so if you have spot light effects they will look a bit funny when its completly dark)

markyd · « **Reply #35 on:** December 02, 2004, 05:09:59 pm »

yeah thats what I normally do.... If I open the.mod and apply the illumiantion it works great, when I export it again and then import to see if it has worked the illumination map doesnt glow and I have to re-apply it in the material editor to see it in all its glory... it still shows otherwise just not as bright as I would like...

Tus-XC · « **Reply #36 on:** December 02, 2004, 05:17:06 pm »

the best way to guarantee that the illumnations are at the correct brightness is to just desaturate the entire illum map, and use curves to up the brightness. i will gurantee that that will work
