Hi, I have implemented geomipmapping in my terrain engine. In order to avoid the popping effect I want to precalculate the lightning into the texture of the terrain. What do you think? ideas, links.

i dont'' see how that will solve your problem... the popping effect (at least the one i know of) is caused by a change in the LOD of a mesh, not the textures or lighting so much.

Yes Obviously the popping effect is caused by a change in the LOD, but this effect is much bigger due to the reduction of the number of the normals. when I say that the effect is bigger, I want to say that the effect is more visible. If the lightning is always the same, the effect will be seriously reduced, it will be less visible.

When you say lightning, you mean lighting
