Light inside an transparent Lamp actor

Post by Veleran » Fri Sep 05, 2008 2:44 am

I wanted to ask QoD if there is any difficulty or difference for the light calculations if the lamp actor has some semi transparent faces for the glass parts.

If you place a spotlight inside a lamp actor,i know that the actor doesnt block light,and the actor will be settup as to not have any stencil shadows or at shadow all.

I know the light wont be filtered by the glass or anything like that,but i wanted to know if there would be any other issues i dont know of,that might slow down the framerate.

I mean does it matter,-or for the light,the actor will be almost like if it is nt there?
