Talk:Intermediate Lighting: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 00:37, 17 May 2006

Added a little about the lightmaps. --RabidMonkey 11:06, 30 Jun 2005 (PDT)

Suggestion: Should this page be renamed to Intermediate lighting? I think it should, because:

The title "Advanced" makes it sound like these things should be used only attempted by "advanced" mappers. But in my opinion, almost as soon as a mapper can manage to use normal light entities, they should be graduating to light_spots and light_environments, because the results are much better but they aren't really that much more complex.
There is plenty that could be written about lighting that is at a genuinely an "advanced" level. For example, lighting for dramatic expression and mood setting purposes, techniques for correctly lighting characters, etc.
