Light Map Gen Diagnostic Images Example



This example is specifically for median cut sampling.



Spherical HDR (lat/long)



Original HDR light map image in latitude/longitude format.


Median cut, 32 samples



Green box shows the sample area, then dot shows the actual final sample location and color.
Command line: lightMapGen -in Livingroom_01.tif -s 32 -normalize -writeDiagImages


Median cut, 32 samples with 4 interleave levels



As you can see, each of the 32 sample areas (now red boxes) have now been further broken down into 4 separate interleave levels (green boxes). Please note, I recommend more than 4 interleave levels in this case, 4 were chosen for clarity.
Command line: lightMapGen -in Livingroom_01.tif -s 32 4 -normalize -writeDiagImages
