That’s a good way to start again. Same problems though. Check this out, makes no sense does it?
and this is with a really nice laid out light map 
The wall materials look pretty diffuse and dark.
Also, there is no ceiling to bounce any light around.
Try the same scene with a white wall material and a ceiling surface…
Lets see how that looks…
Also the lightmap resolution for that bed must be at least 256
Ok thanks will try adding ceilings during lunch.
- Material is simply light matt diffuse, the floors and walls share the same material
- Bed is currently 256. I’m still not quite sure how to judge what resolution to use for different assets, I tend to just aim to get green meshes in the lightmap checking display but for some reason everything is currently yellow no matter what resolution I adjust to.
Will double check these things when I make the adjustments. Thanks for your advice!
Added ceiling and still getting funky results. On a sidenote, what’s a good solution for working with ceilings? It’s really tricky to look inside my room now inside of Unreal. I’m thinking to separate ceiling into another asset that I can hide/unhide but I bet that screws up the light bakes even more!
How big is the room? At least a player should fit inside it, unless you are buildig on a lego scale. The room feels like it should be 1000x1000 or something like that…
Ok, my room size is currently 794 x 2006 x 308 according to Unreal4. In max I use cm, I have a character ref in there that’s 160cm high and he correct right against the window. Just tried adding a skylight in the room, makes no difference. Material is simply a white vector plugged into the diffuse.
