light problem again


dblhelix

Recommended Posts

now what am i doing right (in racking up a fresh batch of newbie points);

 

light affects model but not a prop.

last time it was about light lists, so now i tried every option and ended up

having to create a whole new light to believe that this is so. the prop does

not receive light. and no, it's not black. the chor is saved as from another

chor, prj from another prj that already rendered just fine. only thing i've

changed is "lens" from 30 to 50, so that's hardly the solution.

how do i troubleshoot this one?

It's beginning to come back to me...

 

Perhaps the problem is the automatic "ambience intensity" setting of 30% that imported Props seem to get for no great reason.

 

When i drop an imported prop into a chor it's properties get a "Surface" subsection that has this setting exposed and you may reset it to 0.

 

Alternatively, if your prop has decals, they may have a similar property that needs to be reset.

 

Example below . The right vase is an imported OBJ where i've reset it's Ambiance Intensity to 0 so it now resembles the original spline vase.
