lighting fixtures

Post by AOC »

I got a question I have figured out how to add light and to position it, how do I change the light so it looks like an object (ex.chandalier)?
Thanks

well the simplest way is to right click and choose static -> lamp -> chandalier and put the light overlapping it ;)

And if you want it to look like there is a light bulb add a corona and position it right over the light bulbs.

Will the light still light up the room even when a static object is placed over it?

The static light fixtures do not block light (unless you set them to cast shadows in the light compile). They are called models and do not emit light on thier own.

Don't let the bright part of a point light shine through to the other side of a wall or ceiling--cause errors in the compile. You can change the size of a light by hitting key N, when it is selected, and typing in this.

Key: light
Value: 150 // defaut size is 300

You can also change the color by hitting key K, when it is selected.

Hope that helps!
