display lightmaps in max?

dolemite

hi guys,


Do any of you know a good way to display lightmaps in 3ds max? Like if I have a scene, with many objects and I want to blend the lightmap on top of their textures?


thanks!

sorry about the double post. my bad.

set the self illumination to 100 and multiply the light map over the diffuse using either RGB multiply or a composite node.

Do this for every material in the scene?

My shader has that. No Normalmaps and spec from the lightmaps though.

I just downloaded your shader, and will be checking it out. Are you saying to create a material using your shader to every prop in the scene, plugging in the lightmap to each material?

How would you set the material if you also had vertex color? I setup up the material just as you explained but I'm getting funky and strange results.

nevermind r_fletch_r. composite material worked like a champ combining all three.
