How Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I am trying to render a landscape with night settings. It is a simple layout with a few trees and 3 spot lights, very similar to street lighting and i need to show the effects of these lights at night I have tried turning off the ambient light and that makes the ground dark but i still have a light grey sky and the trees glow when they are in shaddow... Any help / advice apreciated VW 12.5 PC Pentium4 3.2 Ghz 2 gig ram Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Was kinda hoping one of the Render Guru's ( Hannigan where art thou ? ) would jump on this ... Have you tried using a night sky image as a Renderworks background ... http://blogs.yogajournal.com/night%20sky.jpg http://www.backdrops.net/images/99%20Night%20Sky%20%2016'%20x%2048'.jpg Quote Link to comment
G_Hannigan Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Testing - I'll be back. How, "I am trying to render a landscape with night settings.

Dave_Donley Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 If you are using image props for the trees it sounds like they were created using Contant reflectivity, which will cause them to not change brightness when they are in shadow. You can either re-create them with that option unchecked, or go to the texture resources that the props use and change the Constant reflectivity shader to None. Quote Link to comment
