lighting of 3D models ingame

from GalCiv2 Forums
is there anyway to force the game to throw the light on top of a ship?

the models I did all contain no lights at all (so I leave the lighting to the game). I dont think lights are exported into X-Files anyway. a few of them have correct lighting. others however are dark on the top and shiny on the bottum so I guess there is no main light source in the game that works exactly the same for every ship/model.

what gives? ^^

IIRC you need to use render-to-texture to get things like spotlights shining across the hull, since they won't be included in the game. I'm not sure about the glowmaps, though.

Iam not talking about texture-related stuff. just about where the light is coming from ^^

yeah, me! I tried to find an answer to the 3d modelling stuff, which you helped me a lot, but for me... it will always be a mystery...
