Dynamic lights example map

Projects that have specifically been abandoned or considered "dead" get moved here, so people will quit bumping them. If your project has wound up here and it should not be, contact a moderator to have it moved back to the land of the living.

This is pretty cool, I could imagine seeing DOOM.WAD episode 1 being lit somewhat dark if using dynamic lights for brightness..

This looks great. Why don't we do this more often?

Because dynamic lights tend to be a major drain on one's framerate, even when they're not the primary light source.

Yeah, but it just looks nice for those who have machines that can manage it.

Like Chronoseth said it lags for people who have low end machines espicaly if its used all over the place. I have in the works a map with gameplay thats lit entirely by dynamic lights, but I put it on hold until I get a better machine
