Title: Lighting Effect Tips....
Post by: sarungman on March 10, 2007, 03:27:22 AM
hello.... i want to ask u about BAT lighting, because in this forum, BAT lighting tutorial's still empty, ....... is lighting in BAT not important????.... no one wanna share about this part....

okay, back to my problem.... first... let's se the picture below...

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg207.imageshack.us%2Fimg207%2F8287%2Fmissilesitett6.jpg&hash=87c318542027e047ceb3122e8b5cabb07b4dd4a7)

that's my prop i've made using BAT, but if u see at the pic... i think it's too bright, right? just like a sticker on the grass and it looks too contrast with the surroundings :bomb:...... is it because of my fault in lighting  when in the BAT or becoz my texture is not dark enough (or maybe i need to add noise on my texture)?

and also i'm lookin for some tips in BAT lighting....... :thumbsup:

thanks!!!!

Well, if it is only the texture you can darken the texture, got nothing to do with nightlights.
If you have used nightlights on this bat maybe you forgot to add the prefix "nitelite" to your lights. Without the prefix your lights also burn during the day.
