Hi, everyone. I'm attempting to render this scene with either a spot or a local light cast on a black object with a black ground/floor object below it. The light is doing nothing to black objects, but I can see it casting light on lighter object. I basically need to be able to tell the difference between the black object and black floor, but the light won't cast. Can someone help?

{EDIT} Apparently my scene will render with the light, but the light doesn't cast when I'm in camera01 view!! What is going on?

Lights don't cast in scene view, only when rendered.

In the latest version (.97d) lights give an rough cast over the scene. However this may depend on which version of opengl your graphics card supports.

v.097d does include markers to show were spot lights will cast if that helps.

Thanks for the tips. I somehow figured out the problem a while later on the same day I made that post...
