sonogu Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Hello, I am working on an Igloo mod. While I was building the house i run into a lighting problem, even though i do not place any lighting bulp and/or select any lighting templete for the cell, one half of the room is very bright while other side is very dark. It seem like it is related with the mesh, I tried flipping the normals (normally it works for glossy surfaces) but this time it just made the dark side bright and bright side dark :) Pictures are as below, any advice will be highly appreciated. http://s30.postimg.org/6tpty1jtd/image.jpghttp://s28.postimg.org/uj1o3qkb1/image.jpghttp://s2.postimg.org/foqk470ft/image.jpghttp://s13.postimg.org/di5v4t3qv/image.jpghttp://s2.postimg.org/axv9zwwzd/image.jpghttp://s2.postimg.org/5exbwfpbt/image.jpghttp://s21.postimg.org/fzy3w122v/image.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazrael Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Hi there try messing around with ambient lighting, directional ambient lighting settings in the Cell Tab where you choose your lighting setup. Untick the checkboxes to be able to edit the settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During this process i was able to change the location of the bright and dark places but i couldn't adjust the brightness/darkness or completely eleminate it, is there any way to adjust or eleminate it? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazrael Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) On the Ambient Color section( above fog far and fog near) change the R G B values to 0. This will make the ambient color black which will darken the area completely except for where your lights are. From there onwards play with the R G B values to get the color you want. Also if you click on the 'select color' tab a box will open up various color pallettes for you to choose from. On the right hand side of the box is a slider which determines the luminosity of your color. The top of the slider is the brightest and the bottom is darkest.

sonogu Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Hi, I made the ambient color fully black but one half of the mesh is still very bright while the other part is dark. Below pictures has been taken while the ambient color is black and there is no light bulp in the cell. Before I messed around these settings the seperation line of the bright and dark sides were vertical but now it is horizontal. http://s9.postimg.org/jvg0wna8v/image.jpghttp://s9.postimg.org/r2hpsil5r/image.jpghttp://s11.postimg.org/76ru5hq1v/image.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazrael Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 What happens if you make the directional ambient color black as well and work from there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazrael Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) Ok tested some settings in a test cell. Setting the Directional Color to black removed all ambient brightness. The shape of your igloo might also affect the ambience so play around the Rotation XY and Z. Other than that I'm not sure.

sonogu Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 What happens if you make the directional ambient color black as well and work from there?

sonogu Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 It still needs some tweak adjustment for the interior lighting but the main problem is gone... Thank you again... http://s8.postimg.org/4nxligf6t/image.jpghttp://s14.postimg.org/rcszs19f5/image.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
