    Lighting

    In my orthographic floor overview some walls are bright and others are shaded. I believe that has to do with the sun placement. How do I turn that off so that all walls appear normally colored?

    Thanks

    You don't. If they were all the same color you wouldn't be able to tell where the corners were. This has been discussed before.

    The videos we watch are not 100% gold, but if we find a gold nugget, the time spent viewing has a value.

    We can please some of the people some of the time, but we can't please all the people all of the time..... but I will keep trying.

    If you are interested in keeping abreast of any new videos, please subscribe to my channel at YOUTUBE...... channel is ds hall

    Ok, can you lessen the effect? The color change is so dramatic that you loose the benefit of the standard view screen shots. - I'll review older posts as well.
    Thanks

    Scott,

    If you want more realistic scenes - use Ray Trace.

    You can also go to 3D View defaults and increase the ambient lighting. In preferences under Render, turning on or off enhanced lighting can make a difference too.
