  Shatter Lighting problem

  Posted by Benjamin Tubb on May 12, 2006 at 3:29 am

  I’m trying to make my school’s eagle logo spin. I extruded it in shatter, and that’s cool, but when I spin it around, the backside of it is really dark. The front looks fine though. What’s up with that? I have it rigged up to use the comp camera (so I can use the orbit tool)…

  Here’s the front:
  

  But then I spin it, and on the back:
  

  Anyone know how to fix that? I need this done by tonight.

  Thanks,
  Ben Tubb

  Toy around with the lighting options Shatter gives you. Read the help files/manual.

  And if all else fails try levels or curves.

  Nah, shatter’s lighting options were no help… neither was setting a light in the scene. I ended up just animating a levels adjustment, and it worked, but that’s really weird.

  Thanks though,
