Light passing through interiors...

by Meyou · in Constructor · 11/12/2008 (10:39 am) · 1 replies

I was told this a while back..., "even without setting up zones light should not pass through interiors". Can someone verify if that statement is true or false? I know there is quite a few issues with lighting so I'm trying to keep it simple. I placed a simple light inside some of my interiors built with constructor and they all are letting light pass. Other than setting up zones, what do I need to do to correct this? This is happening even with interiors that came with Torque?

If you are using dynamic lights, the light will pass through interiors unless you set up a zone and use the light's "restrict diffuse to zone" feature. Static lights should not pass through interiors if you have shadows enabled, even without zones.
