Normalmapping question

(MMFSdjw) #1

I’ve got a problem with the bumpmapping.

in overly brightened the pic above you can see the normal map is sharper over that one triangle of that brush. it’s one big long brush and I keep getting one ploy on it sharper than the rest.
it has _lightmapscale .1 on it and I compiled with threash .1.

I’m useing Q3map2.5.5 test-10

any idea on what I can do about this?

but it’s a single brush in a single func_group.

The same rules apply. How big is the brush?

it’s 4800 long, about 1/4 as wide, about as tall as it is wide and sloped and close to 30^o.

from what i thought I understud about that you said in that other thread, was the lightmap was being streched over miltiple brushes and to group each brush individualy but this already is.

Large brushes can be fractured by Q3Map2 in an attempt to stretch a lightmap over it.

You should split it into 3 or 4 pieces and put each in a different func_group if you really want a high-res shadow on it.
