Light Properties

[Marina Ferreira]

Hi!
Can you please tell me what properties are different from one archive to the other, regarding light properties, for having this difference?
- one, light properties is "complete", light intensity, options visible, no decay, etc...
- the other, light properties is very simple, only on/off, and shadow intensity.
I even tried to do copy/paste from the complete one to the other, but then light properties remain just as simple...
thanks.

Re: Light Properties

I'm not really sure exactly what you're asking. You might try looking at the following page that gives an explanation of what all of the light properties are. That sounds to me what you're looking for.

Re: Light Properties

Hi and thanks.

I realize now that my images were not sent with my message...
but at the end, no problem.
I mean, it was some sort of bug, or something, because after working on the same file after a while the ligh ptoperties appeared correct.
I also spoke to Sérgio, from Paraglobal, who gives me assistance, and it was also something new to him.
but well,... vista? probably.
Thanks again.

Re: Light Properties

hi!
you can see my images now on http://profile.imageshack.us/user/Marina_Ferreira/

it just happened again, yesterday.
but after entering and leaving the file, it turn out ok...
and also what happened is that the named view I had saved changed the view angle: it remained the same name, but instead of f.i. the "camera" on the right, it changed to the middle... I had to reposition again on the spot I wanted, and resave that viwe.
is it related to the same problem? no idea, but I guess I remember that it also happened on the other time...
Thanks.

Re: Light Properties

Yep, exactly what I thought. At the moment it appears to be linked to selections and how we sort out what gets displayed in the properties window. We'll check up on this.
