Image Prop blocks sunlight

[bc 75]

I have created an image prop from a photo. It represents the view of the landscape as it would be seen from inside a room looking out a window.

The problem is that the image prop blocks out the heliodon sun rays.  See before and after shots below.

Is there a way to have VW show the image prop but still let the sunshine in?

Thanks

Select the texture the Image Prop is using in the Resource Manager, then right click > Edit, you should be able to uncheck "Cast Shadows" in the texture edit dialog and then light wont affect it any longer.

LOVE IT!

JIM, I spoke too soon I was so confident it would work.

I adjusted the textures to no avail.  Any thoughts?

If you can, pop that image prop into a file on its own and post it here, should be fixable.

Here you go.  Thanks!     image prop.vwx

That "cast shadows" function only work with Renderworks styles, I believe. OpenGL will cast the shadows regardless of this setting.

Make the image bigger and put it further away

Yes this is what I ended up doing which resulted in less resolution but passable.

Anything on this Jim?  Thanks

That trick worked for me in Renderworks, did it not for you? In OpenGL it wont be possible as it can't handle complex texture properties.

Ok thanks for the info jim.
