Hi guys,
thanks for providing ideas. I had looked into using the
rendermap property but can´t find a "low quality toggle"
or something similar.
The problem I have is that I want the look of the scene
(textured, Display Options set to Realtimeshaders/OGL
shadows enabled, 2048 P-Buffer, Ambience tinted sepia)
as crude as it is, ignoring jaggies, rendermapped to textures.
If I rendermap I get different lighting (including FG if activated).
Bascially, I´d have to deactivate all arealights, set all lights to
shadowmap, deactivate FG, fiddle with shadowmapresolutions
and still don´t get exactly the same result. I need that crude look
because it looks great by luck and would be cool to paint over
and layer over my basetexture in photoshop.
I create a lightmap on a 100% reflective sphere centered on set
everytime I do a render/renderregion btw, great to see everything
else out of cache otherwise, keep some of these lightmaps for
documenting my progress, too. On-the-fly panoramas, so to say.
I´ll keep the animated texture sequence idea in memory, been
looking for a way to split static and animated lights (slightly
animating sunlight/lightbeams) anyway. Sound good for a nice loop.
Cheers
tim

Or lightmap if you need sequences. This is actually really cool -- you can get
shadows and all sorts of sweet effects animating along in your viewport. Of
course, it's a little time-consuming compared to a single frame and makes updates
slower.

Hi guys,
I´ve a room textured and lit using several spots
and viewportdisplay set to textured w/OGL shadows.
I´d like to bake that to texture, e.g. not render with
all bells and whistles but get exactly the same look
as seen in the viewport as a map.
How?
Reendermap?
