Turning Daylight Off

By default, daylight is included in radiosity calculations, even for indoor scenes (light can come through a window). You can turn daylight off if you want. This basically omits daylight from the lighting calculations, and can speed up rendering.

Note: The Enable Daylight option should always remain on for exterior shots, even if it is a night shot. If you want to create a night shot, change your time of day instead.

To turn daylight off:

1. Select View > 3DTrueView > 3DTrueView Options, or click the 3DTrueView Options button on the 3DTrueView toolbar.

2. In the Program Settings dialog, select the Rendering tab.

3. Uncheck the Enable Daylight check box.

4. Click OK.
