I haven't been around RLC for a long, long time. I used to be a top tier deco back in the day when the rays were worth it. Since my recent return, I tend to keep it to my own properties and maybe help a friend here or there. That being said, I'm still a perfectionist who tries hard to make my designs accurate, clean, as realistic as possible, creative, and let my work stand out as unique and well done.

Anyway, I forgot many things deco...

Isn't there a way to lower the lighting in an entire space, like a zaby, or more like, a zaby room, using a bounding box and adjusting the lighting down to create an overall dimming effect?

I want to put in drop lights like in a nice dimmed restaurant, but with the lighting effects visible, and, without the stock brightness bleeding out those effects, so the lamp and track lighting "LIGHT" stands out...Ambience!

Can anyone speak to that constructively and help me remember how that is done? Maybe there's a better way introduced since I recently returned?

I appreciate any helpful feedback.

Be well, be safe...Enjoy!

*EDIT*

I know how to modify the Ambient and Diffuse lighting values for an object in the state tab,

I guess my question is whether the bounding box is the means to do that for a whole space.

Guess I could have just tried it? Figured someone could set me straight before I dive off that cliff first.

I'm far from what you would call a pro deco person but I think you mean using a trigger box when you say bounding box. If so you are doing the right thing you just have to play with the position size of box and the numbers to get the effect and color changes you want. Sorry cant give more detail that's all I know.

I thought it was done like making a cube for a dance floor "Dance" space. except instead of adding a script for dance, I modify the state tab lighting parameters. I forgot what "Cube" I use for either case, dance too.

You're going to need a pro to help. I have only ever did 2 and both of them are up in the air. One making a 2 tone color change in a water fall and the other is casting a blue light down on dancers in a certain area.

I'd visit the post by SifuPeter in regards to lighting.


He was and is a guru of decorating in this realm but not active due to real life work. He does pop in on occasion to make a post here and there.

Search his name and you will come across his posts and tools.

Hope this helps
