Studio Lighting

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to render an image in Studio, but there is too much reflected light.  Even when every light in the rendered style is turned off, the object is still well lit.

Where is this light coming from?

Within the Lighting Styles dialog in Studio you can control each individual light, plus the entire scene.

If you have disabled all the idividual lights, then goto the lop level of the lighting style (so, click say "Blue Hue Lighting" instead of the "east", "north", etc lights).  There you can control the overal scene's brightness in the "general" tab and also the ambience in the "indirect" tab.  Try lowering those to get a darker scene.

If surfaces are still "glowing" bright with dark lights then check the colour style.  In older versions of Inventor there was a value for "emissive" which meant the light given off by the part, so it would make it glow.  With the newer appearance browser, check that "self illumination" is not ticked:

I hope that helps.
