My word Ravey. Can you hear yourself?
Opinion. Not fact. One level can have as many lightmaps as you choose. And using your method of one lightmap on a large level with lots of 'parts' is going to lead to some pretty awful looking lightmapping. Multiple meshes sharing one <=1024x1024 texture is going to lose too much lumel resolution.
Doesn't Quill do that? So it's a cop out eh? Your words not mine.
I did. Read my last post. Your comments were just designed to make LB sound bad - nothing more.
Anyhow, this is now getting too personal, so I'm out.
I hope anybody reading will have the common sense to try the demo of LightBulb before believing anything else that will undoubtedly get posted after I leave.

It's then up to you if you want to believe all those people and your own eyes,
or Ravey.
Remember that LightBulb can deliver any number of lightmaps from 0 upwards - it's all down to how you CHOOSE to use it.

One level should have ONE lightmap

Telling people to make a level into one mesh is a cop out
