Re: Lighting Artist?
It would depend - for example, if your game is vertex baked (say, you just baked Radiosity in 3dsMax) then your work has a constant performance/memory implication in game... for example, the memory footprint will be exactly the same and the performance/fillrate will be exactly the same no matter how you adjust or setup… -

Re: UDK - Renaming Packages/Copy Data not working?
There's nothing 'small' about a renaming upk/assets issue in unreal.

Re: APB is the greatest game ever!
Well if you want an honest opinion on the game you might be surprised. I actually enjoy APB quite abit, once you get access to the wider assortment of weapons the balance is pretty good.
