I'm trying to make the shadows stronger without losing the ambient light settings. At the moment there's no sense of depth and this I want to change. Any ideas?

'Morning Jilly . . . Very nice scene you've got going there. If you go into the "light shadow editor" of each light, you can increase the "shadow density" beyond 100, up to maybe 200 or even 300. Sometimes I've raised it to 400, depending on the lighting in my scene. I hope this helps some & you have a good one . . . Mark. ;^)

Jilly, the only way I've found out to increase shadows in this kind of a scene is a totally anarchic one. Select your light, then click the shadow icon and push the shadow up to 300 or 400%. Just try out what you need. Guitta

Oh, our mail crossed:-).

Thank you, I'm going to give it a try, I'll let you know the results.

That looks pretty good, Jilly, and I would hardly say that it lacks depth. :) But yes, increasing the shadow density will probably be what you're looking for, although it might not work as you hope if you have few lights. If not, consider adding more strategically placed lights here and there, with different shadow densities.

Nice Scene, Jilly ! Yes, your scene will be improved when you will have more shadows (I can't help on that ;=( ). Maybe the power of the other lights are too important ... Yves

Maybe, in your atmosphere editor, you can use the scene light option and slide it to "solar", and not "ambiant". (I hope my english is clear :-D)

Hi Jilly. I REALLY like the scene that your working on. Perhaps, you could crack the door a bit, and let some light out?

Wow people, thanks for all the help, these ideas I wouldn't've thought of in a million years.Pushing the shadows up to 300% or 400% didn't work, so I'll try the solar option, then if that fails, I'll do what sittingblue suggests, open the darn door and let light out!
