Title: Light Source not working?
Post by: LaFrance on March 13, 2009, 03:43:40 AM
Hello all,
just started Terragening a few weeks ago and am loving it. Great results out of the gate.

Quick question:

I made a light source and cranked the intensity to 1000000, checked visible, made it's radius 10000. I can see it: a little black blob
floating above my planet, but, no light emitting from it. any hints?

thanks,

Brian

the bigger the radius of the light source the bigger the intensity must be to stay visible.
what happen when you reduce the size of the light or when you increase the intensity of it ?

Yep, Seth, dropping the radius to one, with an intensity of 1,000,000 does it. (just found other posts on the same topic,
will search a little more next time ;)

thanks
