Just to show a comparison of the original Raider, and the one with the Radiosity access map added into its texturing, compare the following:
Original:
With Radiosity in the mapping:
You can see the darkening between the engines, engine louvers, and weapon hardpoints. And you can also see that I have some alignment issues with this map  |

Best way to do it is break up the maps.
Hide the details when you render on seperate layers. Then combine them in the end. It will help elimate some of the problems with adjusting the fit of the maps. I really like the looks of a rad render. More realistic. Some artist's say it's a cop out when you do it this way. Some figure texturning is an expression of artistic endevour. I personally hate it since it takes to much time. Rad renders speed up the process and that's what i'm looking for.
Nice job RJ.

the most realistic would be a point light with a nice bit of radiosity, and a few dozen low intensity distance lights, but that might be a bit more unforgiving to your cpu

You might be able to simulate something similar to that without the render hit using HDRI. I haven't even cracked open LW's HDRI toolkit--there's a lot of other parts of Lightwave that I haven't used yet.
In animation, CPU cycles are more precious than gold, and cheating to save CPU cycles is highly encouraged. Of course, if you can't cheat--add a render farm.

Give Imageworld a try with a nice HDRI and I think you'll like the results!
