Your Lighting Style

humb1ed

<div class="IPBDescription">settings and values</div> I just wanted to get a feel for how others are lighting their maps, the gamma being used and such that makes it look 'right'.
For the map i'm currently working on;

My compiler settings are: extra, bounce 3, and gamma 1.0
The map is made up mostly of texlights, with a majority of the lights having a value of ~2000 for a panel light and ~1000 for more vivid lighting (dark blues and reds). Mixed in are light_spots to add light where it isn't covered by the texlights, most of these spots are ~600 to ~800 brightness, 30 radius or so.
Finally, env_gamma is 1.7

All in all it balances out to a good contrast in-game.
How about you?

edit - here is a pic that is the general theme, its actually brighter ingame but this gives you an idea.

The majority of my lighting (on ns_phobia) consists in light_spots but I also use some texture lighting

The compiler settings are pretty standard, bounce 1 and extra

My env_gamma is 1.3

I don't consider it very special...

For ns_ayumi my compile settings are: "-extra -dscale 4 -gamma 0.75", and env_gamma is set to 1.8.
This gives the lighting high contrast, and gives the map a bit scary feeling to it. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
These settings could look really weird on some maps, but in this case, I think it fits the style of the map.

Maybe include a screen or two with your settings to give an idea of what it looks like in action..

well my texture light color scheme consists of blues and reds for the marine sections and greens and yellows for the alien hives.

The majority of my entity based lights are light_spots, which are white light to break up the colored texture lighting.

gamma is set at 1.7

don't enjoy env_gammer much

ns_edan version 1 - 3 bounce extra rad valve's rad

ns_edan version 2 - 3 bounce, extra, sparse, fall off type 2 valve's rad

ns_edan final - no bounce, extra valve's rad

ns_somensmap - no bounce, extra valve's rad, custom rad

ns_blow version 1 - no bounce, extra rad valve's rad (no tex lighting

ns_blow version 2 - improved the point lights brigtness to stop the use of an env_gammer valve's rad (no tex lighting

spns1 - not light yet, but planing on using all tex lighting, from xp's rad file, and valves rad file

eldbustertex - non playable map - extra rad, using valves rad file
