Gaulish Gaming Banquet: off-topic

then after you are done you build the game project in engine so it compresses your game into exe file

mr.rubinshtein

from there you can launch game

pegperegogaucho

in the renderware docs they tell you to use the maya prelight tool to bake lighting into vertex colors :hmmm:

mr.rubinshtein

in modern engines you have that function

herrepsilon

I always thought you would bake lights and normal maps and stuff in the modeling suite, and then import that into the engine

mr.rubinshtein

but back then not sure

adrientd

well modern engines have built-in tools to perform baking, but it's not done ingame of course

mr.rubinshtein

in modern pipeline you make model then during texturing you bake it so texturing software analyzes you model and puts ambient occlusion where your model needs and bakes everything into png of jpg from there you take the maps in the engine with model place it in scene then bake it so your model and maps have the natural way of looking

mr.rubinshtein

cause in texturing software you bake to get the necessary details and model curves

png of jpg :VitrioThinks:

mr.rubinshtein

in engine you bake it so it looks in its place

mr.rubinshtein

ye Spork i use png always

mr.rubinshtein

cause png gives the highest possible quality for texture

pegperegogaucho

mr.rubinshtein

jpg downgrades details

pegperegogaucho

png is non-lossy compressed yeah

mr.rubinshtein

but there is no game art without photoshop

mr.rubinshtein

there is an amazin magical function in photoshop where you can reduce file size but keep quality

pegperegogaucho

Real chads use .EXR or .TIF :CoolChamp:
