  • .PNG is not effected by Spot Light?

    Posted by Thomas Brigantino on December 31, 2010 at 2:35 am

    Hi,

    I have two images in a composition. Both images are .pngs. Both layers have been set to 3D. Both “Accept Lights”.

    Only one is affected by the white of a “Spot” light, though.

    Both are orientated, to the light, at very similar coordinates.

    Any ideas why one is affected and the other is not?

    Thomas

    A screenshot of your Composition panel and the properties in your Timeline panel might help.

    Thanks you Todd for replying.

    I tried to include as much information that I saw fit, hope this helps.

    From the image, you have the light, doily pattern and plant. I would figure the doily would pick up the light, although, it does not. While the plant, underneath it, does? Any ideas?

    On the left you have Material displayed first with the Transform details below it.

    I am totally stumped…

    Thanks again.

    I don’t see anything obvious in your screenshot.

    If you upload the project to a place where I can download it, I’ll have a look.
