Terrain Lighting?

by Chris · in Torque Game Engine · 04/08/2004 (5:35 pm) · 7 replies

Alright, forgive the newbie, but I'm knocking around with the Starter.fps and trying to mod it.

First step was to level off all the terrain, no problem.

My main problem is that it seems that the ambient lighting just plain sucks. I can't see too far in any direction, almost like I don't have a sun.

Any thoughts?

What exactly is the problem? You cant see because of the fog? Or the terrain is too dark?

Well, I releveled everything down to 0 to flatten the whole map and now it seems I can't see the sky/sun. I'm guessing that's why it's too dreary. Still trying to figure out where to lower the sky/sun height.

I'm guessing the "fog" is due to that...

Ah, you mean everything has disappeared in the fog?

Gracias. Will dig through the code when I get home this evening. You know it's bad when I can't wait to get out of work so I can go play with code all weekend :)

You need to adjust the fog parameters in the sky object, I believe. Chances are you're below a fog bank, which naturally makes things hard to see. ;)
