Unreal Engine 4 - Lightmaps Final Results (How To Do Them in Sensible Ways) ft. Warren Marshall

Kveer

Hello Everyone, It's been a week since we have been working our demo project and we came across the good old enemies of lighting in games - Lightmaps. So we decided to take a look around the web, and found little chunks of information scattered here and there. But thanks to Warren Marshall, he did a video on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5dRrOarPI6ufGWsabG28FQ) about these bad boys and solved most of the problems. We're posting the results along with the things we took care of and the final results. Hope you like/question/critique the results.

The Mesh is using 64 as the resolution at the moment. It's better to pre-determine the result you are going for in the final image. I usually prefer 64 res. lightmaps, 1024x1024 texture resolution per Meter,  which makes things look consistent and pretty.
