looks good to me!

unless you wanna ruin all you lighting effects i would bounce less than 3 times.

if your goal is to blur all the shadow edges.. you are doing fine.

The default #bounces for HL2 is 100, or until it runs out of light to bounce. The lighting engine has changed since HL1, Orph.

The log looks fine to me. Why did you post this?

what? i changed no settings and mine bounces once. and as far as i can tell, the lighting engine is even more sensitive to the effects of bouncing. you have way more subtle lighting effects with HL2.. some would be seriously compromised with 100 bounces.. i'd think 5 would be high for most maps.

Dudes, wait - whats going on with that bounce-thingy you are talking about?

Nothing wrong with the log. Good job! :smile:

To render lighting, VRAD.exe simulates light rays coming out of lights
and "bouncing" all over the level - this lighting method is called radiosity. Once it calculates the light, it overlays layers of transparent shadows called lightmaps. The method is pretty cheap, performance-wise, because all the light is precomputed (as opposed to real-time like in Unreal).

So how does that relate to the bouncing? Well, it tells the compiler
how many times to bounce light rays off surfaces. The default is 100 -
and I recommend keeping it at that. About the only advantage to
lowering it would be a slightly faster compile (a second maybe) and
coarser lighting.

Orph is referring to HL1, where lightmaps were at a much lower
resolution and anything more than 3 light bounces was pretty much
overkill. But this is HL2, and a slightly different beast altogether. :biggrin:

Okay here is the deal on the bounces. The Vrad has a build in sensor
that will do bounces until a certain number is readched. Depending on
the map's lighting arangements you could have a bunce of 3...or a
bounce of 10, or even 100! After every bounce the lighing values go
down and down in sucession. Notice how the last two are 0 0 1, this
color is actually alomost black, meaning it would be a waste to keep
compiling since it makes no difference in the over all look of the map.
The VRAD sences this and automatically ends the cycle before it gets to
100. So its built into the compile tool to do the number of bounces
until it gets to be pointless. Thats why there is no argument you can
place in the new VRAD such as bounce (-bounce #), be cause its
automatically built into the program to give you optimal bounces.

Back to topic: Your compile log is fine :biggrin:

/me scratches buttocks.. resists urge to examine nails.

thanx guys.. i guess this means i really need to avoid the HL2 editing forums.. my accuracy is almost nil now. :sad:

ah, i posted it because im getting ready to release it. pretty soon now...

ive already beta tested it at a lan party, and have some friends doing betas. i may put it up here soon.. screens at least.

Oh thanks guys for that VRAD lesson :smile:
