Hi,

I am testing the lights in a simple scene 3d. This is my code.



The problem is that I don't see the light effect... (you can see it the attachment image).

Where is the mistake?

Thanks

I see one thing straght away

You use an light radius of 50 .

I dont know if its an bug but you nead to make it even larger.

My dungeon demo uses a light with he radius around 3000-5000 and that lights up the walls pretty close.

Then do i wonder if you shouldt create the light before the object ?

The light on command for the object is simply an internal shader.

Hi,

I have corrected the radius (now, it's 5000. I have tested with 3000, 5000, 50000) but I have not gotten anything. I have put the createligthpoint command before and after createobjectsphere command and neither... not working

I have tested with a box, a sphere, cone... and neither. I am going to update my graphic card and I will check the app in android... can you say to me if this simple app (with radius 5000) works in your computer?

Thanks!

We can't test unless you actually post one!

I know wath it is
You have to create an directional light also as they have only written a point light shader where there also is a directional light

Create an directional light also.

Paul wrote that they are still working on the lights.

The radius is way too high for standard 3D engines. Inside a dungeon you should get away with 512. 1024 max. Perhaps there is an issue with brightness. Or like you said a bug.

Hi everyone,

JimHawkins, I was refering to try the same example with an radius of 5000. I am sorry, if I have explained badly (English is not my first language, and I am very clumsy with the languages).

Cliff, I am using agk 108 beta 3. I have tested with directional and point light and... it's perfect. Now, it is working.

Kobaltic, I have tested with a radius of 5000 and the light effect is very little (furthermore, the light is very near the object). I will try others values and will put the commands before and after creating the objects.

The last cuestion: I suppose that the directional light is a cone light. I can control the direcction, but how is the position of the spotlight modified?, I mean, In a 3d designer (blender, 3dmax, cinema4d...), you can put directional light, but you can control the position and direction of this light. I don't find the command for moving the directional light. What command should I use?

Thanks!

Juande  those lights in the editors is for creating light maps...

You need to create and manipulate lights within AGK...
