Here is the lighted, in-editor Shrine of Nod interior.

It needs some tweaking, which I will do tomorrow morning. Mainly, that the pulpit doesn't have collision, and the aggregates haven't been exported yet.... Which includes the ceiling lights and anything else that looks awry.

Fixed up some of the lighting. There are still some minor errors, such as the silo in the upper floor having bad trim on the ground. That needs a material ID change, just forgot to do it. You can't see what I'm talking about in these LEdit shots, but it won't be there for long.

The mesh flickering at the edges of walls was also fixed, except for one area I need to weld again.

I went back to the old Tiberium model I posted and repainted it in Mudbox. This time I spent more than a few minutes on it. Wink

I'm planning on placing this model inside the buildings setup file for release, so that other people may benefit from it.

Here's the model in W3D Viewer with what will likely be test materials applied. The base mesh has a two pass emissive setup, so the second pass is emissive and the first one is not. This allows the "veins" in the sponge to glow. I went with a merger of the C&C95 style Tiberium and the Renegade Tiberium fields, so that it will mesh well inside the field. I may end up painting an emissive map for the Tiberium field texture from Renegade so that it will match the same lighting the sponge and crystals have.

That Tiberium 'Sponge' model might actually look too good in-game compared to all the othe Renegade models. Any chance you gonna release it with a less bland Tiberium Field texture to go along-side it? (iirc that's how it's called). It's the texture applied to the plane you're showcasing that Sponge model on in W3DViewer. The brighter green colour that the Tiberium Crystals on the Sponge model have don't--appear--to contrast nicely with the blander looking dark-with-dark-green texture.

I was planning to "upgrade" that texture by painting an emissive map (generates light) for it, as well as improving the style so it matches my Tiberium.

Thanks, Jon. It's going to require a bit of time before I can get all of the files together. I'm waiting on Saberhawk to finish the light map tool for me so I can release the interiors so that they work correctly (e.g. power states, lighting changes). I don't want to release them until the game recognizes that they're pre-lit.

Tested a copy of the WLT export tool for Maya 2010 that Saberhawk is working on. He's fixed some bugs, and it exports completely usable WLT files. I have to say, it was nice to be able to export mncom_int_lm003.w3d and have mncom_int_lm003.wlt to go with it. All of the lights were pre-placed in the positions I had them inside of 3DS Max before I exported them to Maya for WLT conversion.

The only thing keeping buildings-setup.max from release is having the light-mapped interiors edited with the light map chunk tool.

So does this mean that the tool you are you using to export wlt files will also be released to rest of us or what? Cause i sure would like to use it as well.

I'm sure he'll release it, but it's not my choice to do so. It would probably require a working, legitimate copy of Maya 2010. Not sure if he'd make a version for 2011/2012.

Sure, just keep in mind that it's specifically for lights created in 3dsmax and exported to Maya via a FBX file. Currently, I can compile it for Maya 2010 (32 bit only) and Maya 2011 (both 32 and 64 bit.)

Could you add an area to the PP that shows the reactor core?

I could, but that would require redesigning the interior of the Power Plants, light mapping them again, etc... It's really not something that I feel I will have time for.

Hey, did you already release this? Or when do you think you will be able to? Smile

I never got around to finishing it completely, but I'm sure someone can find it useful.

There's some older texture styles in it that you would need to fix up yourself, and some other assorted items that I might have overlooked. Enjoy!

Flaws:
Textures are not included

Nod Helipad is not in

Flying ramps are not in.

Overall, very nice. I can fix the first two things, but could you export the ramps from fjords?

I am fixing a lot of the problems with the set now, I just need the ramps.

As I said earlier, it's released as-is. It was for my purposes initially, so it's going to use textures that I developed. If you want to fix the textures, just use the ones from Renegade, or use the ones from Fjords.

This is still out there if anyone is interested in using a Max version of the buildings setup file.

I'm compiling a ZIP of these buildings. This new set will include some fixes to the buildings (relating to textures) and flying ramps, which are grouped seperately for convenience. In addition to that, all textures and .w3ds relating to the interiors will be included. Expect it sometime this week.

Sorry to bump an ancient topic but did you ever manage to get the interior lightmaps to work with both the power on and power off state? Do you have the max files for the interior themselves?
