You seem to have no sources for those lights, and it looks like you just threw them around to try and get some shading. The trees are lit from the ground, and not the sky?

Some tips that work for DeleD LITE to make nice outdoor lighting.

1) Make a light that is color 255,255,192. Set the intensity to 200ish and place it in one corner of your skybox, at the top. Set all the light's Attenuation properties to 0, and set the falloff a high (999999) number. This will be your sun/ key light, and will cast the proper shadows on the ground.

2) Place a light blueish/green light in the exact opposite corner and do the same thing, but turn off casting shadows, and set the intensity really low, like 25-50. This is your fill light.

3) Don't ever light your skybox. It makes ugly corners, and the skybox isn't really part of your scene. Either set the material to not be lightmapped or receive shadows (if LITE allows this), or fix it afterwards by re-applying the sky texture to the box, to remove the lightmaps. You can even use lightmap selection to light everything but your skybox.

Thanks to Elementrix i found DeleD.
And i was in love with the Elementrix style ( new style ) as soon i saw it.
But im going back to work, and that light thing Daaark...
It doesnt work??
my scene just turns black, with no lights?....

Anyway, when i import them into Realm Crafter, the lightmaps are not being used... Realm Crafter used his own lightmap....
One of the many many reasons i whant to change to a other Engine..

Your light has to be inside your skybox, and turn the attenuation down to 0 and the range up to as high a number as you can set. Follow my instructions carefully. Laughing

Someone else was posting Realmcrafter images here and they had their lighting. It was a very nice project, and they just disapeared. Probably because they realized the lack of viability when it comes tor running MMOs, without millions of dollars.

I guess it's an UV Map, look at the resolution of the texture. Very blurry. Nontheless, it has style.

that makes sense but why you dont just model the tree and use a rectangle + texture for the leaves is far more low poly

I think because he doesn't own RCpro so you can't use alpha channels in your textures and so you can't make it invisible around the leaves.

i indeed do not own DeleD pro.
Im working with Light... But, the the name: Fantasy of toon...
It has to have some kind of toon effect into it too.
So thats one of the reasons i made the trees like that..
And 300 polys isnt high poly.. I still think its a normal poly amount...

300 isnt much but if you gonna make a whole forest it will raise fast cuz it needs alot of trees
