Posted by Malcolm Desoto on June 22, 2007 at 7:00 am Okay, pretty basic question…I think. Basically, I just want my wood floor to be unaffected by the light. Without the light on: With the light layer on: As you can see, my hardwood layer is above the Light layer: How do I exclude this layer from the light? Any comments would be greatly appreciated!

One of those properties is Accept lights (on/off). BTW – hitting AA on the camera reveals all of the camera properties. AA is the special “reveal 3D properties” command in AE. —————————————- Aharon Rabinowitz arabinowitz(AT)yahoo(DOT)com http://www.allbetsareoff.com —————————————- Click the link below to subscribe to the Creative Cow After Effects Podcast, and get free AE video tutorials: https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=111087911 Malcolm Desoto June 22, 2007 at 3:18 pm Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…thanks Ahron!
