Dershem Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I have a chandelier hanging in the top of a stairwell. I put it there while I was designing the house, form the bottom up. When I do a render, it shows very nicely when viewing from the ground floor. But When I look into the stairwell from the second floor, it is dark. Light data is fine, but apparently because I installed it while doing the first floor layout (Start the stairs going up, and installed it over the landing), there's no light emitted when I'm not viewing it from the second floor. Is... a puzzlement. Left: From second floor, physical, no sunlight. Right: From ground floor, physical, no sunlight. HD Pro, Windows 11 Pro, 23GB video card.

Brad_M Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Are you using Automatic Lighting Mode? This can be set in the Adjust Lights dialog (shown below) or the camera specification dialog. Automatic Lighting Mode will disable lights depending on camera and room locations. You can use a light set to force the chandelier and other lights to always be on.

Dershem Posted 16 hours ago Author Share Posted 16 hours ago Nope - using my light settings, which are pretty specific. The more I play with it, the more I think it has do to with the light having been installed from the first floor. It's like when I look down at the yard from balcony, the shrubs on the ground floor don't cast shadows. Rendering first floor works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dershem Posted 16 hours ago Author Share Posted 16 hours ago Oh - and look at the pool house - the way shadows are rendered. Very... incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
