That's some dynamic lighting, nice stuff.
For a Fantasy Hero scenario I plan to run in the near future, I've started working on a paper model in 25mm scale for miniatures. The scenario is set at night during a thunderstorm, so I'm using lighting effects on all the textures to simulate this. I'm using Photoshop for the maps and textures and Lightwave as a guide to lighting.
Here's a youtube video of a walkthrough of the ground floor of the 3D model I created-

That's some dynamic lighting, nice stuff.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

Nifty touch with the youtube clip. So you're going to unfold the 3d model and print it on heavy paper with tabs to glue it together?
Neat stuff...

Not really - unfolding the model used for the lightmapping would lead to a too complex paper model. I'll be using a simpler box for that, with the details that are missing implied with textures only.
I'm not going with straight 3D renders as textures, but will be using them as guides and creating the textures in photoshop. Mostly because the shadows are too sharp
Excellent work, I'll give you some Rep. for your efforts.
In exchange I give you the hires version (actually just because I re-found it on my hard drive and got around to putting it on my website)
