Calculate Lighting Not Working [Solved]

[d123s404]

Hello all!

 

I've imported a few meshes I made from blender to create a simple level. The idea is to familarize myself with basic level building in ledwerks. The problem I encounter is that the lights don't seem to affect the imported mesh. In addition, I've set the ambience to be a dark blue, but it seems like the runtime doesn't have lighting or ambience at all. They are applied perfectly on a brush, but not on the imported meshes. Is there some sort of script that I have to apply before being able to bake the lighting? Or is this a glitch? Darkness Awaits seems to work perfectly fine, but mine doesn't.

 

Here are some screenshots of what the level looks like in editor and outside of editor:

 

 

And at runtime:

What shaders are you using?

On the materials, everything is set to "diffuse+normal+specular".

 

I've tried setting everything to cast dynamic shadows, and then tried again with static shadows. Neither worked.

I think lightmap baking does not work with imported models at the moment.

 

You need to use CSG

Is CSG the built in brush system? Also, how did Darkness Awaits shade their pillars? I highly doubt that those are not imported.

My imported models light ok. I found it difficult to locate the lights where I wanted them and at first they did not show up.. The editor is quite dark to work with and at first my lights were not where I thought they were. Could that be the problem?

[d123s404]

It doesn't seem to be. With a directional light, the position of the light shouldn't matter as far as I understand. What I notice is when I add a light map, everything brighten's up without real lighting, where as removing it makes everything dark, but I'm still not getting the kind of lighting that Darkness Awaits has, where moving a light shows the changes to the pillars in real-time.

Looks like the columns have a lightmap texture assigned.

It's definitely something wrong with the way I setup my materials. I applied the Darkness Awaits brick material to my wall and it lights up perfectly.

 

I think I'll have to look into setting up materials. Thanks for the responses guys!

When you generate a material, select "Dynamic" for models and "Lightmapped" for brushes.

[d123s404]

Hmm. I guess I'll try remaking the materials.

[d123s404]

Sorry for the double post, but it's fixed!

 

 

Thanks to everyone who responded. I had to create the material as Dynamic to solve the problem. What I did before was reuse the same materials that I created for the brushes as static and switched it to dynamic in the material editor, which didn't seem to have an effect.
