Hiya all,

Haven't uploaded any screenies in a while so I thought I'd show you my test vertice lightmapper from vanMESH. Really it's more for levels than animated models - a vertice lightmapped model with lighting disabled will run about 10% faster than a standard model, that may not sound much, but this also means I can save the DX lights for effects.

I love how the chic's face is so defined after the lightmap, even though it's untextured.

Tell me about it!

What with waiting for patch 6, I reckon a lot of people are waiting before doing too much work on their projects. I just did the lightmapper to test an idea, it's only about 12 lines of code. I have a lot more time to play with DBPro now, so I might get a beta of vanmesh finished sooner than I thought. I've decided that it'll double as a level entity editor too, for my own engine - and FPSC (through .x models at least). My major game project needs vanmesh you see.

That looks excellent Van. I also really love the lighting on the chic.

12 lines!?! Excellent work! I'd ask you to explain the process yet I believe you already have in another thread.

Keep up the good work and keep us updated on VanMesh.
