Interior lighting...

I am making a map with a huge tunnel in it and I would like to know how to light it from the inside. Also I would like the map to be ALL interior. No sky or anything. If that's not possible, it's alright.

I have succsefully made an all interior underground level. However, I found It does need a sky or else there will be no light in the level. What I did was connect my level by a tube to a sky box. This way, the sky gives off light, and when you run radiosity in sapien, the level will have a dim ambient light. Then you can paint light inside the level if you want it brighter.

how do you paint light?

On the HEK tut, it tells you to make new faces and coat them with the .tif of the fluorecent lights, then make their shaders give off light.

Watch kirk4's tutorial videos. The second set of tuts he did showed an underground bunker. Then when he put it in sapien, he showed how to paint light.
