Hi All,I'm trying to make Pandasoft's exporter work with MAX. This is not my first airplane I'm kind of know what am I doing (sor of ;) ). However I can't make any of my gauges to light up at night using the "panel_L.bmp" technique by adding a lightmap to the Illumination slot of the material. Some says Panda doesn't work with light map, however I was able to make it work with no problem on the exterior/interior with the exception of the instruments. Anyone had success with this if so how?ThanksQantasluvr

Which version of Max? I ask because there are different ways to achieve this based on which version you are using.

I'm not sure why I'm bothering to reply, since you never answered the question I asked you four days ago...However, if you have Max5 or better, you need to use the DirectX Shader - Lightmap dialog at the very bottom of the Material Editor.Enter in the Diffuse Color (again) and then enter your lightmap... ;)http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/6789/ma...tmapping6bj.jpg
