Hey Does LightMesh Work?

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Hey Does LightMesh Work?

i can't see anything happening... even running the example code...

i'm still using 1.87...

thx

I take it you've read the docs?


You need to use EntityFX ent,2 to enable vertex colors on the target mesh before you can see any results.

Since V1.83 the default vertex color for primitives is 255,255,255 and not 0,0,0, so for LightMesh to effect primitives as it did before, you will first need to reset the vertex colors to 0,0,0. You can do this using LightMesh mesh,-255,-255,-255.



thx bigDude... reading the docs do help sometimes :) , but in my case... my docs only said this...

Performs a 'fake' lighting operation on a mesh.
