| @RemiD Thanks for providing the huge list, can you please provide me the links to download Giles,as I heard a lot about it, is it a freeware tool. |

| @nrj>>If i remember correctly, Gile[s] was distributed as a freeware after some time. However i don't have the installer/archive on my computer but i will see if i have it somewhere on old backups... (not sure that i have it) |

| @RemiD Thanks very much for providing the download link, I will use it to create wonderful light maps. My aim is to create a fps game like project igi, hoping I will be able to do it. |

| @Zethrax Thank you very much for providing the related links of all the lightmapping softwares. The last link which contains large list of 3d modellers are very useful for beginners to choose the right modelling tool according to their requirements. |

| Btw, if you use bilinear filtering, i suggest to use 1 texel each 0.1unit or 1 texel each 0.125unit. With bilinear filtering activated, the shades look better with less texels per unit (with reason), but without bilinear filtering activated (or any other texture filtering) it looks better with more texels per unit. |

| I will use it as you suggested, thank you very much. |
