Hey all,
I’ve posted a quick lightmapping tute ( my first ) at my site and would like to know if it’s any help with this matter. It’s written for Maya 8.5 and assumes you have basic knowledge of Maya, although you Maya 7+ is similar. I can adjust the format as I refine the tutorial to make it easier to follow. It’s veeery basic but hopefully can shed some light on the how-to’s of Light Mapping.
