Working with lights - or not
Posted: Tue Jun 16, 2020 5:38 am
Hi everyone,
I am trying to get my head around the new light features for a dungeon I want to draw for my novel.
I am having difficulty when it comes to allowing the light to shine through gaps.
Since it is a new feature, I'm not sure if it is just me not understanding the process correctly or whether it is a bug that needs fixing. Here's my problem with pictures.
I have a corridor (Corridor 1) which I want to attach to a room (Wall 1). Where they join, I have created an opening in each - Opening 1 in the wall and Opening 3 in the corridor (set to allow light through). The wall opening has been set to be a two-part door, open, and allowing light through. In the corridor, I have placed a lamp (Feature 11).
If I place a light in the corridor (Light Source 2), it is correctly contained by the corridor walls and is allowed through the corridor opening, but is not constrained by the doors on the wall.
If I place a light on the canvas (Light Source 3) and move it so that it is over the lamp, it correctly gets constrained by the door and the wall, but not the corridor.
How can I place a light in this configuration of corridor and room that conforms to the wall constraints of both, like this (Photoshopped to get the effect)?
Sorry, seems I can't add a fourth image to a post. I'll add it to a reply.
