![]() So the request may boil down to fine-tuning a few things that are already in Rhino but not exposed to users in UI. So while I was aware of the additional settings other Rhino lights have, I did not make a connection since we rarely if ever have models with multiple Rhino lights, and not just Sun. Hi Jeff, thanks - looks like we are getting somewhere with understanding what we are after and what needs some improvement still.Ī bit of background info - we use Sun for shadows and as primarily light source (along with Skylight) about 99% of the time. The Sun UI doesn’t provide such a slider, but internally the Sun is just a Rhino Directional Light object, which contains all the same properties as a normal light, including “Shadow intensity”. Note That’s really the setting you keep eluding to with the Sun (which should have made me realize earlier that I was coming at this from the wrong direction, but I was being thick). Select the light, go to Object Properties, and start playing with the “Shadow intensity” slider, and note the changes in the viewport (note: this does work with colored shadows as well, but let’s not go there yet). So, forgetting about “color” for the moment, I’m assuming that slider gives you what you’re looking for ? No? Do a simple test… Draw a box, place a directional or spot light so that the box casts a nice shadow onto the ground plane. That being said, changing a light’s shadow intensity impacts the shadow map, and thus the shadows it creates. ![]() ![]() This has been in Rhino for as long as I can remember. The concept of “shadow intensity” is considered a light property, and therefore, every light object in Rhino has a “Shadow intensity” slider (select a light object and go into Object Properties). I may have been approaching this discussion from the wrong direction…but that’s because I have been assuming that everyone here knows and understands that Rhino already has a “Shadow Intensity” setting… Given that assumption, I was coming at this “request” from a “Shadow Color” perspective, and that what was being asked had to do with modifying the shadow color in some way.
