We added LIGHTMAPS to our game engine! Hopefully this will allow our artists to really go wild with creating dark and moody maps! #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #lightmaps

Dear #UnrealEngine #Lighting experts! Which UVs are better for #lightmaps?

After 11 hours of making uv lightmaps I feel a bit dizzy. Hopefully someone will find them useful. Still quite a few to do

Someone used our blender lightmapping tool to lightmap their animated music video

it is cool to see people use it in more ways than we intended (adding support for this usecase was pretty easy as well - just adding a button to apply the per object uv transform offset to the uv once, which in threejs we do in the shader)

Unity gamedevs! Who wants to test my GPU lightmapper before I put it in the asset store?
Pros: rendering speed, full/indirect lightmaps, IES lights, no leaks/seams.
Cons: only nvidia/windows supported at the moment.
