I've had DeleD Lite for about a week now and am loving it. However, I would like to share screenshots of my work, but I don't know how to do renders (if its even possible). Right now I just view my models with solid checked. Is it possible to do renders?

Right click "in the air" in your perspective view and select "screenshot". It will write a screenshot of your scene with your lightmaps and all.

Yea, I know how to do that, but is there any way to acheive a smother lighting effect than this?

He said smooth. Deled doesn't do that.

It has no smooth rendering in the editor, and provides for no normal smoothing anyways. That's not really the fault of DeleD, it grew from a level editor. It's somewhere in transition between Level Editor and Static Modeller now. Smile

That's why I said export to Wings3D. http://wings3d.com/ You can smooth out your normals, and have nicer lighting than one light in every direction, which Deled does.

ah! you guys made me want to try it out myself. So here it is; I grabbed deled's chappel model, exported to obj, imported into blender, checked materials and rendered with yafray (very quick yafray settings):

so it works! Very Happy

I wanted to render 'royal hall' in blender once, but the program wouldn't let me move the far clipping plane to more than -1000.0f.

Mad

wtf!

hhehehe, try seting it at 500. It's all you need for a deled scene Wink

oh yes! and scale your model down. It opens up huge in blender; dunno, prolly units scale problem. And one more thing, probably due to 3d UCS, you have to rotate your model 90 degrees in a side view to get it to display properly in blender.

VD, do you have the model somewhere I can get it? I'd like to give it a try! Wink

What if you just downscale the model in Blender?
A-Key --> S-Key --> Scale down --> Render

//edit
I think, DeleD PRO has an option to auto-smooth edges of a certain angle in the lightmapper, doesn't it?
