This is simply amazing! I love the play between lights and
shaddows.

Is there any good information available (in a book or
online) about this way
of making Lightmaps for Shockwave 3D (using 3D Studio Max or
simular)? I
understand it's a pain to produce but seeing this makes me
wanna have a go
at it 

Thanks,

/KC
