HOW TO CREATE LIGHTS???

[baldatito]

Hi.

I know that this topic is been touched before, but I need more help.

I follow all the steps to create a light source, and does not work at all!!! I edit the PluginFurnitureCatalog.properties and nothing...

I use .dae files but I have also tried with .obj after exporting from SH3D. I do not get it as lights...

Also, how do I do for the object to go to the ceiling straight away.. Is it also possible to get them dimable like the ones included in SH3D??
Dont want an object with light source, I want a proper light...

I use MAC...

Please help....I am desperate...

Could you share the content of your PluginFurnitureCatalog.properties file?

Does the object "DOWNLIGHT 1" appear in the furniture catalog once you installed the SH3F file?

[baldatito]

Yes,

when I import the item then I drag it into the room but nothing. No light...

Just to be sure, did you understand that lights have some visible effect only at the two best quality levels of the photo creation tool?

[baldatito]

Well I did not know.

Anyhow, I always use the two best quality levels of photo rendering. Still nothing.

If it worked, I should be able to change the brightness of the light, and that does not happens... kind of lost...

Again, thanks a lot.
