I hope someone can save me the time of converting my B3D's to X etc just to find out....

- but is lightmapping only supported through the B3D format?
(By that I mean the usual MyModel.B3D + MyModel_lm.bmp situation.)

In other words if I have MyModel.3DS + MyModel_lm.bmp will this still work, or does Blitz only go looking for a lightmap if the model is in B3D format??
