Object as Light source Issues
Object as Light source Issues
(OP)
Hi All,
I've been playing with the Lighting Appearances and emissivity settings as of late and I noticed something that was bugging me when I was working on a rendering for the current render contest.
If I render a scene with the taillight (Appearance is Red Neon) set as a light source I get shadowing on the entire floor. However if I switch off the taillight as a light source I get a much nicer shadowing on the floor. How do I get the taillight reflection from the Left image with the floor shadowing on the right?
Thanks

I'll try it out on a few different systems to see what happens.

Maybe try PhotoWorks? Of course the whole look/feel would be significantly different than what you've got started there.

I'll try it in 360 to see what that does.
