UDK Terrain Lightmaps does its own thing.

Chicken Dip

Hey guys, I need some help with the UDK terrain lightmaps. I don't know what to do anymore. I have tried all options i could find on the net but unfortunately there is nothing. This is my problem:




As you can see the mesh is on the ground... but i have no idea why when i bake my lightmaps it gives me such a weird shadow. My static mesh has Overridden Light Map Res to 1024 just to test and still nothing... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try changing it to a lower value like 4, if its a BSP like other things in UDK, it has an inverted light map value.

Looks like a shadow bias issue.

Nope, only BSP lightmaps work like that. For terrain it's pixels per terrain quad, I think.

I'd suggest try cranking it to 4096 and see if it changes.

Thanks for the quick replies guys, I may have a solution. This seemed to work under the terrain options i went: Lighting> Is Overriding Light Resolution Ticked on and Static Lighting Resolution i set to 20 and it seemed to give me a better result, only takes quite some time to bake the light maps. Thanks guys! maybe there is an easier way of doing it so if anyone knows please let me know
