Light/Shadow Glitch!!!
Hi there! I may be wrong, but I just realized something that has irritated me for a long time.
When I set up a light, I always get dark shadows. In the light attributes section, one is supposed to be able to control the darkness of the shadow. However, it has no effect whatsoever. Is this a glitch or do others experience the same or have accidentally switched something on?
thanks,
April

It works fine for me. OpenGL issue, maybe?

Thanks for the immediate feedback. I just realized that this issue has bothered me for a long time. I used to turn off “accept lights” cause shadows were always so dark.
As matter of fact, my good graphics card just broke a few weeks ago and a new one is coming today. With this built in graphic card I have (Ati 1250) I see in the open GL settings it says everything is supported including shadows except for antializing and motion blur.
Do you think I should reinstall AFX or what till the new graphics card comes in?
thanks~!!

This was actually my mistake, sorry. It wasn’t really the shadow at all. However, what irritated me was the fact that the horizantal layer always seems to be too dark, darker than it should be.

Dear April, how are we supposed to know what’s causing your problems without more information from you. Everything is relative in AE (a 3D world). Your horizontal image(s) may actually be very vertical relative to the light(s) which is what casts your shadows and illuminate other allowable layers.
You’ll need to provide more – perhaps a JPG or better, an AEP.
Cheers
