It's hard to give crit on it. It's not very obvious what is what.
As for the texture format, dds is a commonly used format for game engines, just like tga but with the most important advantage that it's much smaller then a tga file.

Well, basically everything on the left side of the texture is the walls, and everything on the right is the floor. (like you where looking straight down at model.)

joukejan · 09-20-2008, 07:37 AM

Sry I wasn't clear enough. I meant the model, the room itself. Could you make another render with some clear values so we can see the room with it's content more clearly?

JudgeMagister · 09-21-2008, 01:31 AM

Okay I added another pic.

Aren't the UV's stretched?

JudgeMagister · 09-24-2008, 07:09 PM

You were right, I fixed that. I changed it to 1024x1024 too.
Now why does it show up all black on the overlapping UV pieces?

working on the texture.

If you've baked a shadow map, and you have parts of your UV layout overlapping, the shadow doubles up and goes super dark. Not entirely sure you have any overlaps, but your question seemed to suggest it

To fix, just offset your UV's by 1 unit, so it's out of your main UV space. It won't calculate it in the bake, but the texture will fit perfectly.

JudgeMagister · 09-29-2008, 08:27 PM

That wasn't the problem. It was just the way I had it set up to render.
I made the diffuse texture, for the room and baked a AO into it. Hows it look? True crit plz, no pats on the back.

Now I'll just make all the props on a 1024x1024 too I guess.
