After Effects CS6 Lighting not working
Hey everyone,
Just started out with 3d element and I am very new to lighting.
I have got a got sky background with a helicopter model in front of it. When I add a light it does not change the lighting in the scene at all, all the lights are in the right direction and are powerful enough.
The only light which seems to work is the ambient one.
Cheers,
Nic

You won’t see the lights in Element’s scene window, but you should see them in your comp. Are you sure they are positioned correctly in Z-space relative to the helicopter?

Is Element’s “Use Comp Lighting” checkbox ticked?

I’m having a similar problem at the moment. The only light that is working for me is ambient. I am trying to light an extruded shape layer along with regular layers staggered in z-space. “accepts light” is on in material options. I’m stumped.
