Is there an under glow simulation?
« on: February 19, 2021, 11:50:37 PM »
I am trying to design a show for my car and I'm loving Xlights, but the simulation I would like to see is more a glow effect from the reflection off of the ground. Some of the lights will be mounted under the car so you wont see the "pixel" but rather its projection of light onto the ground.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,
Stuart (Newb)

I would not think its a programing issue or sequencing differently but the lights you use. I would try these lights instead as they will push the light in more of a direction.     http://uwi.red/r33    He is out of stock at the moment but you can also get them off amazon for 50.00 per 100 mod.

I think what you are after is in the settings for the model in the layout. At the bottom of the settings is the Apperance tab. Expand the tab to display those settings. Experiment with the size, style and transparency values. I use these same settings for my wall wash floods to get the soft diffused look on the wall in the preview, so i can still see the other props behind.
