I am using lightmass to render a simple BSP room, and something weird happens.
There are some random darkened areas on the surfaces. But in the Lighting Only mode, the lightmap looks just fine. I tried another wall material with no specular input and the problem is gone.
I look into the content browser and there is a "DirectionalMaxComponent" lightmap texture which I believe causing this "problem".
So, what is this and what can I do to avoid or reduce the random inconsistent specular highlights?
Or do I have to avoid using very clean materials with specular so this effect won't be visible?
