Lightcaps are too bright??

[system]

Hi All,

I am trying to light and render my character using a background image and lightcaps. The problem is that when I click the lightcap button to create one, the lightcap is way too bright it just bleaches out the render.

I’ve done this method before and found it to be a really simple way of lighting my models. But somehow, even when using the same bg images i used before, I get this over bright lightcap which is no good to anyone.

Does anyone have any ideas whats happening here or how to fix it?

Cheers,

Simon

Did you try it with your main light switch off?

Hi,

That helped a fair bit actually, thanks.

I’ve managed to tweak the settings a fair bit to give me lighting that is more ‘normal’ but I’m not sure why I need to do that when previously I’d just create backdrop then click the light caps button to create pretty decent lighting off the bat.

Cheers
