Here's the start of my entry into the JKHub level contest. More details (tho not much right now) can be found on the JKHubPage. Anyways, here ya go.

The following are permanent lighting (lest strong appeal otherwise)

And finally, the last room which will not be lit because lighter plugin has trouble w/ keeping track of transparency (this is prob due to a JED coding issue moreso than anything)

BTW that dark spot is a part of a 3do (I use dlft for archi and 00_base4 for 3dos to make that clear distinction)

Anyways, that's the preview of Hogushyko. Wanna run around in it? Whatcha think?

Isn't it pretty stupid to light it before applying the textures? I mean, there's a reason the plugin's predecessor was called cleavelight...
But maybe you are only doing it to provide better screenshots. If that's the case, I salute you, because they are really better than unlit dflt shots.

I imagine he's lighting for saving to JKL, not saving the lighting cleaves in the JED file.

At least, that's what I would do.

Doing the lighting before texturing is really just a waste of time.. but I think we are all guilty of this..

I dont have any crits, it looks like you still have alot left to do.

I like the design, reminds me a lot of Complex from Goldeneye.

Actually I imagine you'd get a good idea of the lighting in various areas... make sure you have the right shadows, etc. If you have darker textures it might be harder to see.

I like the look of the second-to-last shot.

Well I'm just saying it's a waste of time because you have to undo all the lighting to slap on textures.. cause forget about texturing something after the lighter plugin has its way with it.

Thats why I never save the .jed file. I do this because full light screenshots are just boring and texturing is pretty much non-existant right now.....
