Hello, I've been inspirated by Rolfy to make a pretty outdoor zone,
but my lightmapping is way too pixelated, how I can smooth them ?

(My lightmappingquality is set to 75, and my preferences setup is on "Quick Lightmapping")

Please apologize my bad english, I'm French.

You don't need full lightmapping,keep it on quick and increase lightmap settings in setup.ini.

Doesn't hurt to try...

Actally I think it's the tree mesh that causes the distortion.I've had this problem with high-poly trees.

Whats the difference between quick lightmapping and full lightmapping?

I doubt they both give the same quality even with the lightmap quality increased otherwise there would be no point in giving you a choice!

Quick LM just quickly builds the lights for test game purposes when the full lightmapping makes sure you get every crook and cranny of the map lightmapped for the final build.
