Weird problem with Light Map Resolution

Veezen

I have weird problem with light map resolution in UDK. I not talking about bleeding.

So I have spent some time on that topic to find out what resolution of light maps is the best for static meshes - I found that 64 is standard. Ok, I thought that is true but not in my case. I also downloaded a free scene made by Jordan Walker's, and I check which resolution he used - there were 32 on prabably every static mesh.
Below you can see that issue. I used 128 but as you can see it looks terrible.

I used point light.

It looks fine...This is how it should look. But, you can disable the lightmap compression in the lightmass.ini

Here is the comparison:

Thanks!!! It's working now like it should after changing light map compression to false in BaseLightmass.ini and UDKLightmass.ini.

I can't believe I found this post within 2 minutes of searching. You've really saved the day. My shadows are 'blobby' like the OP's example, and I still wonder if that should really be called 'acceptable'...at least for a noninteractive portfolio still.

But THANK YOU for cluing all of us into the compression setting.
