Foliage Lighting like a Nut Sack.

Zipfinator

Anybody know what this is about?



It looked fine when I placed it but after building lighting on Preview quality (For 40 dang minutes!) it came out like this.

EDIT: I think it might be because the origin is below the terrain? Is there any way to fix that other than having the grass floating?

Do your planes have a 2nd UV channel for the lightmap?

Zipfinator

They didn't when I built it that time but I'll try it now. Last time I tried it just froze after a few minutes but that's probably because it wasn't on preview mode.

I'm interested in seeing the solution to this!

Zipfinator

I fixed it I believe. It was because the lightmap channel wasn't UVed as Brandoom said.

You shouldnt need to use texture memory on alpha foliage.
Vertex Color should have plenty of lighting information. Unless you want it dynamically lit from point lights.

Set the Lightmap density to '0' on the grass meshes, which will default to vertex lit.

I'll try that out. The foliage placement system might require you to at least have the light map channel mapped out though.
