Create lightmaps for game engines.

Post by Nemesis_CGI »

Is it possible to only render a GI & lights only from Kray for Texture baking a light map for a games engine?

So far my cheat in lightwave is to cache the scenes GI & then set all surfaces to white & render. I end up with a map that has the colour of the GI, shadows & lights only. No surface colour visible. See sample images.

Top image is what I'm after, the green is coming from the GI.

Did you try using Kray buffers? You can specify which buffers you want to render there...
