Thanks Mike, I've emailed you.
I'll check out your example projects in a little bit.
Cheers,
George

i got em...
the island mesh came thru ok, but i don't see any lightmap mesh though...
i got the 3 usertextures, and they work ok when the mesh is loaded into 3DRAD...
but no lightmap...
do you want me to do a lightmap run for you...

Hmm, odd...
There should be two folders inside the rar folder (or one folder, with two inside it)
is there no "Large Tropical Island lm - Copy" folder somewhere in there?
Anyway, thanks for checking it out. Just let me know if I need to resend it.

i see large tropical island... but there's just another mesh in there and a .png... doesn't look like a lightmapped image to me...
what program did you use to do the lightmapping?
********************* edited
ok... your island lightmaps beautifully... but i found a few things, or should i say Giles found em...
first off, there was no UVMapping info... so i ran it through UUnwarp and UVMapped it... planar, top view... your mesh should be uvmapped, planar at the least...
then i ran it through Giles... 1 omni light, 1 ambient (so that the shadowed areas weren't black)... i let giles overwrite the original, then copied the folder, renamed the new folder to islandMeshLM.... deleted the 000_mesh.x and renamed 000_mesh_lightmapped to 000_mesh...
next open up 3DRAD and add a skinmesh... lead islandmesh... clone that and change the mesh tot he lightmap mesh...
edit the properties...
this is what i got (see attachment)...

Hi Mike,
Thanks for taking a look at my mesh. Sorry I didn't reply earlier; I've had a pretty busy week. I should be able to try your light-mapping method in the weekend. Hopefully I can use it to get some good results.
Cheers,
George
