Ok, hopefully this is possible and hopefully someone knows how to do it properly. Basically what I've done is I've created a level in 3DS Max and set up a couple Omni Lights so it looks pretty dandy. I was wondering if I could 'bake' (not sure if that's the right word) the lighting into the level and then export it to a .X file and load it into DBP to keep all the lighting/shadows.

I think I may have done this by accident once before so I'm pretty sure it's possible so if anyone has any ideas, please tell. Thanks.
