Negative Lights? - Polyloop

Aunty Betty · 16th February 2006, 15:23

There doesn't seem to be a negative option for lights - how do I achieve this effect?

Regards

Thomas · 16th February 2006, 15:43

You can't. It's a feature I request myself..

Aunty Betty · 16th February 2006, 16:47

Outrageous! :-)

Thanks for the reply

Just curious, this might be a dumb question, but Im pretty new to 3D .... what do you use negative lights for? ....making holes in space

?

Aunty Betty · 16th February 2006, 18:30

Shining darkness rather than light - to absorb light in areas you dont want.

Basically it allows you further control of shading with lights.

Thanks for enlightening :-) me. I suppose you could suck out certain colours also

But, seriously, in 3 years of using Bryce, never had need for them (and I really rendered a lot of things), never heard good enough argument to have one. I reckon, one could use them somehow, but never seen good example of using it, besides in a "deep space" scenes.

Wow, I never heard of this, can you make black holes with it?
Would be cool.
Read a review of Car 5 in a dutch magazine. They compared it positively with Maya.
Nice.

Sounds too esoteric to be of interest to the majority I would think.

Joppe · 17th February 2006, 02:13

A black hole esoteric? That's science!
But we don't have it, and we'll wait whats coming.
I like Car 5 already 1000 times more then all what was before. And I've seen them al.

Negative lights are very helpful in creating certain lighting effects. I want them, too.

JuST · 17th February 2006, 09:54

Yea, I think so too. I'd like to have this function!

Yes you can in some applications.

tonytrout · 17th February 2006, 14:45

Can you have negative lights that remove other shader properties like reflection or transparency or bump where they fall? That would be cool (maybe?) On second thoughts, I seem to have enough bells and whistles to play with now to keep me going until winter as it is.

Bryce has many functions that Carrara would do well to emulate. Negative lights, copy and paste of an objects location, and better lighting physics to name a few.
