    did you set z rotate to 180

    Can you show the Scaling Parameters of the sphere which is in the Parameters Pane when the Sphere is selected.

    If you set the Scale slider to -100 then it should be inside out. If it is scaled to -100 then make it a positive value and test that.

    DONT USE PRGRESSIVE RENDING as there are still bugs with using that feature.

    its a bug of daz studio 4.5 pro ?
    any one use 4.0pro have the same problem?

  • wancowwancow Posts: 2,708

    Yes, basically the problem seems to be this: setting a scale of -100 is simply not turning the sphere inside out. I tried it twice and it's just not working.

    There is a solution, reverse normals on the sphere in Hexagon or another modeller.

    Okay, this is VERY interesting... it's not working after I flipped the normals either...

    hmmmm... what be wrong with this picture?

    It is working correctly for me. Be sure that you have ambient checked ON in the surface tab by the way or the inside of the sphere will remain black even though the figure is lighted. Also be sure to adjust the intensity or you will get little or no lighting on the figure. I'll post a render shortly.

    yeah i already checked ON the ambient
    if you didt check on then the whole image you render will drak
    if you checked ON then you can see the background
    but the figure still dark if u put the figure inside the sphere
    because the normal of lighting is outside whatever u set the scale -100 or +100

    I'm using 4.5. Are you raising the intensity on the surface tab high enough? For the render I have going I raised it to 700 because it is a pretty dark image and suspect I could have gone higher. It would depend on what additional light I planned for the scene.

    Hmm.. We know you have an inside out sphere (due to the -100 scale) and that the figure is inside the sphere. You have ambient turned on and the image in all 3 places it belongs. If turning up the intinsity to 1000 still does not light the figure that is really odd. Which version of studio 4.5 are you using?

    i use 4.5.1.56

  • wancowwancow Posts: 2,708
    edited December 1969

    I set the intensity at 600, set the scale at -10 and lowered it so that I could see the outside... it's emitting light on the outside, not the inside...

    I'm using DS 4.5.1.56

    I think there is something wrong in this version. But.. I don't think it is the uber surface light that is the issue since I could get it to work on a different primitive. I have no clue in the world what is going strange with the sphere though.
