as a rule you should always try and push sliders beyond the visible limit, lots of cool effects to be had there

That?s it! Thanks, Nick. (well, the specular disappears but? L)

 

Never had thought of sliding the sliders to anything beyond visible.

I never got to like that feature where you can go beyond to and from the actual boundary.

If you can do it, why not be more easier to get to it?

 

Thanks anyways.

You can, push the colour into negative values... The trouble is, you may end up with negative values if you're rendering to float and compers won't like you much, so make sure you clamp the surface shaders output value or do a clamp on the final images...

to add a black light (spot or point)?

I want to light up the whole scene with dark spots in certain places.

I can use an object as a shadow but can't we have a black light? J

 

Thanks,
