Lighting fading lighting and brightness in a cave

IP_jeanlo · Jul 21, 2020

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a cave and a skylight and I'm stuck on 2 things.

I have 2 questions:
- can we choose an order to turn on the lights in fade out?
- when I am below the skylight and I look at the cave, the cave is not in total darkness ... how to solve this problem without switching the sequence to the night sky?

Thank you in advance.

Hi IP_jeanlo, I'm guessing you're talking about the Night Activation function that turns artificial light sources on when the sun is close to or below the horizon?

If so, that's not possible within this function.

However, you can use the Animate Light Colors Effect to animate them at dusk and dawn:

If you'd like to suggest a way to do it via the Nighttime Activation function, I'd be grateful if you could please use the Lumion product feedback form to submit your idea:

It sounds like this might require a more thorough investigation than we offer here at the forum so I'd be grateful if you could please send us a download link to the .LS Project file and the Photo or Clip number we should take a look at via the new support system:
