I'll add some screenshots from Metastasis 2 when I reboot into Windows later - I managed to get some lovely lighting on some vaulted ceilings through using multiple, separate smoothing groups that way... —'''<font color="#10c010">Cargo Cult</font>''' <sub>([[User:Cargo Cult|info]], [[User talk:Cargo Cult|talk]])</sub> 04:12, 13 Sep 2006 (PDT) | |||

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.
