    Hey all,

    I've posted a quick lightmapping tute ( my first ) at my site and would like to know if it's any help with this matter. It's written for Maya 8.5 and assumes you have basic knowledge of Maya, although you Maya 7+ is similar. I can adjust the format as I refine the tutorial to make it easier to follow. It's veeery basic but hopefully can shed some light on the how-to's of Light Mapping.

    Cheers,

    Jaz. :)

    good one! think i will do it during today's lunch break. :wink:

    Maybe make some thumbnails of the figures and put next to each step, and supply a basic unity project of the completed tutorial. So others can see it in action. They would be my only suggestions. Also post it to the wiki! :D

    Cheers.

    Thanks for the ideas ... with feedback I'm going to make this a good and informative tutorial. Also I'll add a section to cover multiple UV sets as aNTeNNa trEE has suggested.

    Cheers,

    Jaz.
