Strange Lighting

[qcrist]

[I'm good with titles ]

:l?

The reason it is wierd, is because the light is in the center of the room.

world.addLight(new SimpleVector(0,-50,0),Color.WHITE);
Config.fadeoutLight=false;
world.setAmbientLight(10,10,10);

Try to set discard distance and attenuation in World (or by using the Light-class in util, which i suggest...) both to -1 and let me know, if this changes something.

changing the discard distance and attenuation didn't seem to change much.

I did notice small changes of the model changed it tho.

The model is made with Google Sketchup pro.

Maybe you are lighting the backfaces, i.e. the light source is below the ground? I've written a little test case. It shows how lighting affects your model for different light source positions. Maybe it helps:
