After I set all foliage to movable, it stop the lighting result error,but after 2:25:40 AM: LogWindows:Error: Windows GetLastError: The operation completed successfully. (0), I go away for over 8 hrs. When I come back, Swarm agent shows the dark blue bar still going and distribute progress stay at 0.06%(no change). Normally when I building lighting, is difficult to do anythings else on the computer, but now I’m okay to search around the internet. But the task manager/ performance shows that the cpu usage is over 80%. What should I do? Should I just let my computer continue the build lighting? Or cancel it?

Starting at 2:21 am, now is 4:29 p.m. over 14 hours Build Lighting. The images on the bottom is updated. And I’m ok to work on my computer. Should I keep waiting or cancel?

anonymous_user_bc30a99d · December 21, 2015, 3:42am

Processing mappings(6.22e+04 seconds) and number still changing.

anonymous_user_bc30a99d · December 21, 2015, 5:04am

Can someone tells me what is going on? All I want to know is in my case is UE4 still building light or not. If not, I want to cancel it.

anonymous_user_bc30a99d · December 21, 2015, 6:36am

after 20 hours of build lighting, I decided to cancel it.

morning_sashimi · December 21, 2015, 6:48am

You Should not cancel it. Last time I left my computer Building lighting for over 2 weeks to finished.

anonymous_user_bc30a99d · December 21, 2015, 8:24am

I cancel already

Hi Mog_C,

In the original error it’s showing you ran out of memory when building lighting. This can be a very intensive CPU process and depends on a few things on how long the build will take.

Some things to consider:

You have 1723 static mesh instances (foliage). Set a lower Lightmap resolution for them by selecting them in the foliage tool and then under the **Instance Settings ** enabled the Lightmap Resolution check box and use the default 8 or set it to 4 for the intended resolution. Building lighting with that many instances at full resolution is not ideal for a single machine. You can also, disable static casting shadows if not needed since often foliage may be moving, you wouldn’t want to use static shadows for these anyway as the baked shadow would not move.
Make sure that you’re using Lightmass Importance Volume(s) around playable areas the player can access. This will focus the lighting calculations to be primarily in this area, while providing a lower resolution and quality outside of the volume since the player will never get close enough to that area. These volumes are not meant to be used for large open worlds as an all encompassing volume.
If you’re creating a larger open world, this is not the best use of Static Lighting. As an example, the Kite World demo that is freely available in the Epic Games Launcher under the Learn tab uses only Dynamic Lighting. The amount of memory to store all the textures for the lightmaps would be too costly, and building lighting for a single map like that would not be worthwhile.

Give these a shot. If you have more specific questions it may be helpful to post more about project/level you’re building lighting for.

Thank you!

Tim
