I'm having a bit of a problem with lightmapping. I've got my terrain mesh loaded in IrrEdit but when I do my lightmap, it looks pretty ugly. I loaded another mesh (my experiment with human modelling :D) and the shadow it casts on the terrain looks good, but the lighting on the model itself is ugly, same as the terrain (have a look at the picture for what I mean, it's the perspective viewport and the lightmap settings I used).
 🔎︎
I'm probably wrong, but I think what it's doing is called vertex lighting, and it only seems to be doing it when a model is casting a shadow on itself.
I guess my question is, is it possible to have good quality shadows (like the "human" casting a shadow on the terrain) when a mesh is casting shadows on itself?
PS: Sorry if that didn't make sense, it's early here :P

The problem here is that the lightmapper doesn't use smooth normals of the mesh if there are some, gonig to add this.

Thats good to hear. As a quick fix, is there a way i can stop the terrain trying to cast shadows on itself, but still let it receive shadows from everything else in the scene? Thanks for your help
