Lightmaps

Please explain to me how to implemnt lightmaps. I have very basic knowledge about it, and I want to know more, but I have no idea how to generate and map lightmaps. Is there difference between static and dynamic lightmaps? How to generate dynamic lightmaps?If there is any info in internet on this, give me an URL…

Hi!
Your questions are way to different to answer them all.
You have to divide it into to fields:
1.How to create lightmaps?
2.How to apply them in realtime in an app\game?

The first one can be a little more difficult…
Look at http://www.gamedev.net or http://www.flipcode.com

The second one is very simple and described in many OpenGl-Tutes all arround the net…
Look at http://nehe.gamedev.net/ or (again) http://www.gamedev.net or http://www.flipcode.com

HTH, XBTC!
