Why are my models so bright when there is no light! - 04/17/11 18:48

hi,

Before I upgrade to latest version of a7, my game environment was dark and good.

But after upgrade, all of my entities, like chairs, beds, cabinets and... are bright. I removed the lights from the scene, it only affected the blocks not the entities. I mean the walls, ceilings, floors, are all dark but entities are so shiny!

I checked and unchecked Unlit from entities properties but nothig changed. I changed my camera ambient to -500 but still all entities are visible and bright!

Shouldn't the lights existence affect the enities? so why it does not affect my entities when I remove my lights?

Check your sun and ambient settings in Map Properties.

should they be something else?

Try to set one or both of them to a really small number.

Try also to change the ambient of the wed blocks that are below the entities, and see what is happening...
Maybe your entities take some stronger ambient from the floor blocks.

take a look into med.

->Object -> Manage Skins -> Skin Settings -> Material Setup
you could disable this option or play with the values.

That option is already disabled. I enabled it, nothing changed.

I changed the value of Ambient for each entity to -200, but they are still bright! The whole room is dark but I don't know why all entities are bright.

I think it has something to do with Model Textures in MED. As farodin said, may be I should play with values.

I installed a7.5 and rebuilt the level and it is normal and works fine.Building took more time than A7.8 specially in Generating Lightmap part.

any suggestion?
