The inside of my base is VERY VERY dark. I tried editing the lightmap in Sapien be making the colour white but it wont let me save the lightmap.

Are there and good lights that i can add in Sapien that will give of plenty of light? If there are, could oyu put the folders it is in? Any other sugestions are appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I dont know how to save the ligtmap either..

But you can make lights. This is how its done in the tutorial...Create a plane in max, place it where you want (just about half an inch below the celling so there are not overlapping surfaces) and give it the material of example_tutorial_lights_red! (the red can be switched with blue, and the ! gives it no colision geomitry). You might want to edit the apperance with an unrap uvw map. This will make light when you run radiosity (there is a way to make your own lights instead of using the ones from the tutorial, but i dont know how, i think you create some shader)

What about light fixtures? There is some under levels/test/damnation/etc... I forgot the full path to them. Anyway, just add those light fixtures. They look pretty nice!

Do I just add these in Geurilla or in Sapien?
