Trouble with lights settings in shader.

[Maniac]

I have 2 bases, they have some light emitting faces on them, they are on 2 seperate materials and material id's. I have 2 shaders for the 2 materials (one red and one blue), and the shaders have the same "power" values for light.

When i make the values of light "power" identical then one base does not get lit.
example: if i make the power 5000 in the red and 5000 in blue then only one will produce light.
if i make the power 4999 in red and 5000 in blue then only blue shows and vice versa.

im really quite stumped.

Try taking both textures and putting them into 1 texture
Use only 1 shader instead now, and only use white as your light. Should work then.
(if you were using red and blue, then idk sry)

I am using red and blue.
But it should work with 2 materials and 2 shaders i thought.

Are you running radiosity in Sapien, or in Tool?
If its tool, trying running it in sapien, if you already were using sapien, try tool then. I remember having this problem sometime ago too, and I remember I ran the final lightmaps in sapien and they both lit up.

I was using tool.
Ill try that, thanks Higuy.

Tool doesn't do lights right. Sometimes it does them, sometimes it doesn't.

If you have 2 shaders referencing the same bitmap, it'll randomly choose one of them. It sounds like you're using the same bitmap, but trying to use 2 different shaders to light them, one red and one blue.

I am using 2 bitmaps (red and blue) and 2 shaders (red and blue)
