   Is there any free lightmap generator available?
  I want to render globe illumination to generate lightmap for every object in the scene. I have seen several commerce library include beast and lightsprint. But they are really expensive that beyond my budget.    I wonder is there any free or even opensource library for globe illumination and lightmap generating?Thank you.   
  blender should be able to do it.The UDK has also can do it with lightmass, but i'm not sure if you can get those textures out of the engine again.;  gile might be worth checking out.   ;  Yes, Blender can bake lighting, or normals, or ambient occlusion into textures, and it's super easy to do.
