Render Map in XSI EXP 3.0

[PetterSundnes]

Does render map even work in EXP?

[PetterSundnes]

After some more fiddling around with UVs I get this message:
ERROR: Function not implemented in EXP version.

So I guess I wont be able to test texture baking.

Could someone with a full version of XSI, please tell me how long it will > approximately < take to render a 512 x 512 light map of a simplistic interior. Global illumination and final gathering turned on (high quality settings), and also provide the hardware spec of the machine used (I could supply a FBX file for testing).

... end up with a similar light result to this one:

Would be nice to know, as I am concidering to buy XSI Foundation for that purpose alone (realtime interior in ShockWave3D).

Depending on machine speed and how you optimize your render settings anywhere from a minute to 10 minutes...thats a loose guess. But you are only rendering 512x512.

We did a test at 2048x2048 with all the bells and whistles turned on and it took a little over 30 minutes to do that map.
