Re: Lights - how? Diedra, In the Furniture catalog select the chapter "Lights", or type "lights" to search for those models. You should get a number of lamps with light built in, and a number of light bulbs. - Use SH3D version 3.4 or 3.5 and do NOT use the old AdvancedRendering plug-in. - When using Create photo or Create video, light will only show at the two highest quality settings. - Most lights in the standard catalog have a power switch that allows to change the strength of the light emitted. - Small light bulbs give sharp shadows, large lights give soft shadows. Use a light bulb of 50x50x50 cm (20x20x20 inches) or larger for general illumination of a room. I find that (in general) you get the best results when you use several small lamps around the room, then adding one or two big bulbs at a fairly low setting for general illumination. - When using lamps and/or light bulbs, switch off the ceiling lights in rooms for best results.
