Inflight: setting brightness from LE // Archive: Tech Forum 1  |   Order by default Post by weaveribm // Jul 18, 2007, 8:03am weaveribm Total Posts: 592 I can adjust an omni light's brightness in the LE but how to brighten/dim an Inflight from the LE please? I'm trying to wean myself away from Modelspace. I want a medal for that btw :) Where another more obscure term for brightness/luminance setting is 'attenuation' grrr :) Attenuation works fine for omni lights adjusting in the LE but nothing happens when I change the TSCompatibleLight settings... Workspace window Peter Post by Changa // Jul 18, 2007, 11:30pm Changa Total Posts: 187 Brightness of the infLight = Color. Make it lighter or darker. It can be done directly in Panels view.

TS won't let you change property values if they are linked and getting the value from somewhere else. Edit: the color property will also show up in the panels tab of the stack view when it's selected and it can be changed from there as well. -Jack.

Where is the Inflight's effective Attenuation and other properties please so that I can bump the Inflight past 255 255 255? Full white isn't bright enough to make sunbeams appear inside the room interior in Workspace No GI in Workspace is there yet? Waitable forable no problem if not. Peter Post by Changa // Jul 21, 2007, 11:35am Changa Total Posts: 187 Full white isn't bright enough to make sunbeams appear inside the room interior in Workspace As I know there is no shadow property for inflight in real time renderer. Try to use directional light. It has more controls. Post by weaveribm // Jul 21, 2007, 11:56am weaveribm Total Posts: 592 Try to use directional light. It has more controls Thanks Changa! I will try that. Peter Post by Jack Edwards // Jul 21, 2007, 1:11pm Jack Edwards Total Posts: 4062 Also some lights have settings that can only be set in model side because setting them in Workspace side would break the bridge link for that light. So we still have to use Model side for much of the light settings. :( -Jack. Post by weaveribm // Jul 22, 2007, 12:43am weaveribm Total Posts: 592 Thanks Jack, yes they will turn up in Workspace eventually- but after I found that it seems to be best to ditch any Model space lights in a scene and start with new Workspace lights, things have improved. The LE setting of lights isn't so bad as I thought and the 'Select an object and then click top left for Centre Selected Object' function in the LE, that's rather good after wandering about in there like the Lost Soul for ages. I think Roman must have been a ruler of Sparta in a previous life it's all military training from boyhood one has to be purposeful and not allow negativity to creep in. For great rewards in this life and the next build executable :) Peter
