I always wondered if ''yes'' or ''no'', reducing the lightmap size increases the polycount. One day, I made a test on a small testmap, and this is what came out : | |||

I'm wondering if it was just a particular case, or if it always do that. Because people never talk about this side effect of reducing the lightmap resolution. If that shouldn't do that, I believe we could use a default lightmap of 8 or even 4 instead of 16, couldn't we? (I don't care about the bsp size) --[[User:NykO18|NykO18]] 02:20, 1 Sep 2008 (PDT) | |||

Does lightmap increase polycount?
I always wondered if yes or no, reducing the lightmap size increases the polycount. One day, I made a test on a small testmap, and this is what came out :
