Malice

I am experimenting with the use of B3D meshes. I have textured one and wish to use it as a building (well ruins!) on a Terrain. All is well, except Lights seem to have no effect on the mesh.

Is this a particular 'quality' of the B3D format? How do I apply Lightmaps if necessary - remember I am really not techy when it comes to all this lightmap stuff! ;)

Heres some screenies : Hope you can see the difference...
