Re: Tranluscent material

thank you, that was a bit hard to follow. Do you mean the emitter should be flat like my image?

'round corner" funcion?

Re: Few questions

Hi I am assuming that if I use the portal I can still use the Sun to illuminate. If you have a look at the inage the light comes from a low sun from the far right. How can I position the Sun where I want it? I know how to move the sun but not where I want it. How would you place the Sun?

Re: Using a lot of light power

Thank you support however not many people on the planet use inches any more FYI. I had great problems with inches when I would do grass etc :) Could you have metric and imperial versions? People im metric Countries (Vast Majotity) are wondering how many inches in a cubit? :) :)
