LW Lighting

Anonymous
Not applicable
I have used sun- and heaven- and window object, and I shut off the sun in 3D Photorealistic option.

Camera 100%
Ambient 100%
Lamp 100%

If the intensity of camera is 100%, than the window is too much sunshine (please see the picture.)
But under 100%, the inside room is very dark.

Can you help me?

Lamp cannot be 100%

Turn off Camera lamp

Put some lighting in the room to compensate for the bright sun.

the five minute fix:

four minutes: open file - translate obscure German words: flugelfenster - a musical window, kunstkopf-a head that hears , schvanstuker - sex education helper.

one minute:

--Added windowlite behind camera [in an actual opening]

--made sun and windowlites in sun direction have yellow light and at full power, not blue and black as you had placed.

Boosted all light power.

Black is a bad color for lights since only cats can see it.

Make sure all the lights that you place are "ON."

It is still a little creepy - perhaps add a general light source under the floor - this is not stopped by elements and will light all surfaces from below.

Sorry for your three minutes
Great help through your one minute.
I changed color (very important, still stupid color...)

Added windowlite behind camera (80%, over 80 was too much)
Sun and windowlite full power
I turned off heavenlite.

Tomorrow after sleeping I put some general light back to glass brickwall, and under the floor.
I hope, you take a look.
Than you.

What kind of color for lite did you take?
I like your color, it looks very soft and real.
Can you teach me?
