Phong/Geo/Cam/Light darkens image ?

Hi,

I’m using these for the first time and have just noticed that something in my render pipeline is darkening/dampening the image…

I’ve spent some time going through the Wiki entries on all fo these, and playing with parameters I thought would be likely culprits, but no love…

Haven’t changed any defaults on anyting except Translate and Scale control in the Geo’s pre-xform…

thx.

jse.

The texture is darker because it will only be at full brightness if it has 100% light reflecting off of it, which generally won’t happen with only one light.
If you want it brighter you can turn off the lighting (either by turning diffuse/specular to 0, or just removing the light) and instead put the Emit parameter up to 1.0, that will give you 100% brightness of the textures.

beautiful, thanks Malcolm… still have a lot of learning to do about that end of Touch :smiley:
