Tony_PSAV_PM Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 New to working with VW 2016 and doing staging floor plans. I've got a good portion of things figured out but is there a way to make my white stage drape actually look white? I'd be happy with a bit of grey but what I'm getting is way too dark. Also, my uplights show up OK when I'm on Render GL but when I do a full quality render, my uplights disappear. Thanks in advance Tony Quote Link to comment

Usually this happens if you just have a fill of white set in the attribute palette. If you create a renderworks texture, then pick a cool or warm white and apply that texture to the drap, you'll get the effect you're looking for as long as your lighting is bright enough. 8 minutes ago, Tony_PSAV_PM said: Also, my uplights show up OK when I'm on Render GL but when I do a full quality render, my uplights disappear. I would need to see some example images or the file itself to tell for sure, but usually this means that a lighting setting is disabled or a light is being clocked by a shadow casting texture.

Andy Broomell Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Are you able to post a screenshot of what you currently have? Sometimes for things I want to appear whiter, I'll add Reflectivity<Glow to the texture, then put the Brightness around 40% (depends), turn off "Emit Light" and turn on "Add Matte Reflectivity". The Matte Reflectivity is important so that it still reacts to other lighting and shadows in the scene. Quote Link to comment
