V4 default shaders are self lit, pretending to do what IDL is doing now. You must not use V4 shaders that were designed before IDL.
Also, most shaders have Diffuse_Value = 1, which causes 100% of light to be reflected. This creates an appearance of glow in tight spaces, because the light bounces back and forth, multiplying like a laser.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
