Hey folks!

Is there a trick to DIMMING the light coming in from a window without turning it off?

Currently, I put an “extra pane of glass” made from a CUBE textured in Glass-Waterstained 1 and that helps a lot – but it’s fiddly work.  A Dimmer would be amazing if it exists…

Cheers,

Ariana

Hi Ariana,

That is an amazing tip.  Thanks.  I always just changed the light colour of the light to black.  As for the dimmer, there currently isn’t one in the program.  Sorry.

Thanks Neil,

I was hoping!  I often want *some* light coming in for realism, but especially for white cabinets – the default blaze of light that comes in from a window can be too much and just washes out all the cabinet door detail.

Maybe on the next version, eh?

Hi Ariana,

I do what Neil does, except I don’t go all the way to black. I try different shades of gray to get it dimmed just right.

Okay.

I JUST tried this, Jordyn – and you are officially a GENIUS!

Tinting the light to a grey doesn’t even skew the cabinet colour – it just softens the intensity!

What a simple, elegant, solution!  Thanks so much!
