[Archived - DiamondBones] How to fix room lighting features?

Posted by “Drosselmeyer” on May 20, 2022.

The add on light product will make the scene even brighter. Unfortunately for now creators will need to approach lighting for rooms and lighting products used in rooms differently for use on the Next platforms. We are looking at the possibility of editing lights in Studio.

I can live with the ambient lighting built into the room shell becoming slightly lighter on Desktop/Mobile compared to Classic, it's workable.

BUT it seems that the add on furniture light doesn't work properly there, and was what made the dark room appear extremely bright, PID: 13777243 . How can these meshers adjust it to work on the new imvu? Will they have to make a new mesh? OR is this adjustable with studio's editing features for this furniture product?

@DiamondBones​ After much discussion an investigation with the team, it is looking like this is just a difference in the rendering engines of the Classic Client and the Next engine. For more information on this please have a look at this article: https://help.imvu.com/s/article/IMVU-Studio-FAQs#lighting. What confused me was that your room appeared lighter, which is not what I have been experiencing, but after looking into this seams consistent with the differences expected between the two engines.

H3h3 ^_^ the fact that we can do "hacks" like this makes me feel like the imvu program is alive LOL Like how particles wasn't part of the original programing too lol XD I think some new discoveries are worth keeping :>

From years ago, I do know that Room Lighting on Furniture and on Clothing was never meant to be part of IMVU Inventory. It was a "work-around" Creators were using to force these items to emit light. I knew and know how to force these items to do this but never did as I was worried about future compatibility.

Anyone who notices this (as said by @DiamondBones​ ) should point this issue out to the Creator who made the light emitting furniture(s) and ask them if they can somehow fix it so it is "balanced" between clients.

Sorry you have this issue my friend. IMVU was never *supposed* to have light emitting furniture or clothing. It was more of less an unsupported hack going back many years (10 or more).

@Drosselmeyer​ woohoo! ♥ thx ^_^

Also my buddy was loading in Desktop Beta, as the furniture was coming in, he saw the room dark, then go really bright so he suspected i had a furniture self illuminating item or something. So I tested the only furiture light I had inside (the neon light I mentioned earlier, thinking it wasn't the problem) Looks like it was.

Classic Neon Light Furniture off:

DeskTop Beta Neon Light Furn off:

PID : 13777243

I can accept the diff of the bar room shell betwen classic and desktop, but the neon light furniture is unfortunate. I will ask the mesher for some help if they can find the time.

@DiamondBones​ Thanks for the PIDs I have written up a ticket on this and we will be looking into it.

(incase there's confusion. the room also has an added furniture neon light PID: 13777243 but I think that works fine on desktop? Not sure, but it has nothing to do with the original dark light that was build into the original room shell, which is what I was referring to in my pics, as I've noticed this issue with other rooms as well, like the imvu 18th bday room they used for the recent egg hunt event)

@DiamondBones​ Do you have a PID for the room?

Posted by “LestatDeLioncourt” on May 08, 2022.

Hi @DiamondBones​ I know staff are actively collecting anomaly information between clients, etc. Can you please post the PID of the room with this issue?

Thanks...
