Steve Dubai Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Hi there. I can't get a lighting device to cast shadows or light fog. I have a one colour renderworks background with "lit fog" and "receive shadows" ticked. I have a fixture from the spotlight library, it texture is default instrument texture. I have a fucus point and I can see the footprint of the light. I get a solid cone if I choose "draw beam", I know the light is there, but no shadows and no fog. Can anyone help? Cheers, Steve.

michaelk Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Turn on the light in the Visualization Palette, not in the OIP. The OIP "Draw Beam" only shows the edges of the field and beam angles. hth mk Quote Link to comment
Steve Dubai Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 Hi Michaelk. I'm not sure if this solves my problem. I can use the visualisation palette to create a new light source, and this one casts shadows. But my moving light still is not. I want to be able to use fixtures from the spotlight library. Steve.

michaelk Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Hmmm All your spotlight fixtures should appear in the Vis Palette. Can you post a file with one of the fixtures you are using? mk Quote Link to comment
Steve Dubai Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 Here's the test file I'm playing with. Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 You're there. Turn off draw beam. Render in fast, final, or custom renderworks. (not Open GL) mk Quote Link to comment
Steve Dubai Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 Got it! Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment
