Hi All,

As a newbie to iClone, I've been following the excellent "Dingy Room Tutorial" and have so far learned a lot.

Now, I'm installing the windows. Got one from Google Warehouse and installed it in the wall opening. All went well till I began lighting the scene.

In following the tutorial, there is a "Threshold" setting on the Spot Light, which is being used as a sun.

However, in my iClone version (current trial version) there is no such slider/setting on the light.

I can find a "threshold" setting on the window object, so I have played with that, and have tried different arrangements of threshold and opacity to no avail. Adjusting the opacity, I can get the light to ignore the window and come through the wall opening, but this of course does not cast the shadow of the window "grilles," as it does in the tutorial and is really what I'm going for.

Does anyone know why the "threshold" setting is missing from my spot light?

Any advice from some of the advanced members or tutors as to how I can get my window to cast the same shadow it does in the tutorial (with the window "grilles")?

Any and all advice/info appreciated.

Thank you to all,
Bud
