Good day,
Added are 2 pictures that have the sun and skylight switched on.
When I do this in Rhino 7, the program gets wild and switches on and of in high speed.
In Rhino 8 I do not have this problem, but in the model of the cutter there is no possibility to change the skylight intensity, while in the test it works.
I need to change the skylight intensity in the cutter model, because with it the model is to light, and without it is to dark.
Anyone got an idea?
Regards,
Dirk
Hi Dirk,
Make sure you have “Use custom environment for skylighting” ticked in the Render panel - if it isn’t then the intensity setting doesn’t appear in the Lights panel.

Hallo Jeremy,
Thanks a lot. This is the solution.
I have one more question.
When I turn on point lights inside the hull, the complete picture get’s overlighted.
Is this also because of a setting somewhere?
Kind regards,
Dirk
I’m not sure I follow you. But here are a few things. Point Light intensity is set in the light’s Properties panel. They seem to need to be dialled down a lot, particularly if you have a reflective material on the surfaces they illuminate. I don’t see them overexposing the entire scene though (which is what I assume you mean).
Here is a wooden object with a single point light inside it, having the intensity dialled down to 0.29. Oh, and the Fall-off changed to Inverse Square. Sun and sky intensities have been left at 1.00.

Hallo Jeremy,
This is exactly what I meant.
Will give this a try the day after tomorrow.
Thanks a lot.

Hallo Jeremy,
This is what happens when I switch on the light in the forecastle.
Of course I can switch the light off, but I want a final model to make pictures from in- and outside.
Maybe you’ve got some suggestions?

Dirk
Hi Dirk,
Are you able to share the .3dm file? It’s easier to give cogent advise if one can inspect the model.

Jeremy
Hallo Jeremy,
Unfortunately this model is a commision, so putting the file in the forum is not possible.
But next week I will try to save a part of the file with hopefully the same problems that are occurring now.
Regards,
Dirk
Could you save a copy of the file, put a bounding box around the hull and then delete the boat, leaving lights, environment, layers, materials etc intact? It would be interesting to see how the scene is set up.
Hallo Jeremy,
Added the file with the model deleted.
I found the problem with the overlighted picture when switching on the inside lights.
There was a light hidden behind one of the pictures of the backgrounds I use to model the kutter.
But there are still some minor things.
When I have one of the background pictures shown, and switch on the inside lights, the seams of the bulwark planks get another colour.
See added pictures.
And also the planks of the bulwark don’t show fluend.
The bulwark was one plate that I split on isocurves and gave the different plates a solid offset.
Any idea why these things happen?
Kind regards,
Dirk
