Soon my entrance is ready so I decided to give you guys a little peek of what Im doing.

The welcome sign wont be where it is at right now, just there so you can see part of the saloon as well. Very Happy

I like it, but in some spots your shadow resolution is HORRIBLE. It's all just black blobs smeared all over the place. It's even hard to make out the shape of the saloon from the outside because of this.

Cut down any large polygons to smaller sizes. This will help your shadows significantly. It's probably your ground planes being way too big (just a guess).

In order to get the best results from DeleD's lightmapper, none of your polygons should be bigger than the biggest size you'd want to stretch whatever the size of your max individual texture size is.

Just some constructive criticism. Breaking up those large polygons will give you a lot more 'free' detail in that image. Your sign shadow should be an almost perfect tracing of the sign, not 3 black dots.

Example: Look at my mesh. None of my polygons are bigger than 120x120, giving me complete control over my shadowing.

well daaark I looked at some of his shadows around his sign and found some seams and drew some black lines over them, going out from those black lines I drew some gray lines and it looks like he uses a grid and is just using a very small lightmapping size?:

That's a possibility, but he also has what looks like very long polygons in the saloon itself, which will throw off the resolution too.

I made two last updates on my scene.
1. I moved the light source so that I get light on the front of the saloon.
2. I remodel the windmill since the old one look a bit boring.

Nice!

Very well integrated with the skybox and the lighting and coloring of the scene reflects that as well.

White Wing, where in Deled do you get all the scene info you're posting?

regards and congrats,

Alvaro
