Shadow Baking Slow

by Ken Searle · in Artist Corner · 10/23/2004 (12:59 am) · 1 replies

I have a Column made up of 6 brushes and 280 vertices total. When I first add it in the World Editor Creator I can see it and move around with no lag. As soon as I reload the mission, the lighting takes about 5 minutes to load (I assume it is calculating the shadows). It seems like a one time process as long as I don't move things that affect the shadows. Is this delay normal?

The problem is I have a couple of hundred Columns to add so this could be a big issue. Any ideas as to what I can do?

That seems a little long but I couldn't tell ya why. Maybe your Machine or drivers are not up to date?
