a little disappointing to find out the muzzle flashes won't affect the radiosity. was hoping to light up a whole house with my gun
"Even with all these simplifications, Enlighten is not fast enough to do per-frame radiosity for a whole level. For example, if you move the sun in the editor, it can take a few seconds for all of the lighting to update. This problem also makes it impractical for instantaneous light effects in games, like muzzle flashes or explosions."
