Thanks for your help with my problem getting my manual for Turbo Silver, I talked to Mike Halvorsen and I got my Manual a week later, Thanks Again. I seem to be having a problem with light sources in Silver, I am rendering a simple scene with only 1 object and two light sources. one to the right of the Camera and above a bit, and another to the left and above a bit. No matter what I set the intensity (300 500 800) it hardly shows up compared with the right hand one. casts a brighter light on the object even when I reduce its intensity to 100 or so. Both Lamps are defined as (Lamp,Shaded). The object is defined as (unlit,shaded). I have searched the manual from front to back and have wasted about 15 hours on this problem so far and I am getting confused. Are the lamps some how directional?? Is this bug?? What is the Problem??

Beats me, John. How far back are the lights positioned? What kind of an object is it? What're the global settings? I'd like to try and recreate your problem… Rick
