BrowEdit Lighting/Shadow Questions

[Azura Skyy]

I've had difficulties with Shadows. I've set my sun, and it has a higher intensity than my shadow, as instructed by the BrowEdit tutorial videos, but my shadows are too long. I've adjusted the sun and shadow higher and lower and tested it multiple times, but I can't get what I'm looking for.

I want the map to have a late afternoon/evening feel (sun setting), which would of course, cast longer shadows, but I want to control it a little. I want the map to have a warm feeling to it; should I be adjusting the colors?

How high/low in the sky should my sun/shadow be?

Intensity 127 for the sun and 100 is what I currently have set, and that doesn't seem bad, but I'm open to opinions.

My map is larger than Payon/Protnera and has some mountainous terrain on the borders. It is a city, so there are heaps of objects; lighting calculations take ~1 hour to finish, so testing it is quite tedious.

Hope someone can help,

Thanks,

Oh well i'd set it way above 200.  I usually have mine around 600 ish.

Whats your height for your light with the shadows?

About 200 right now, but that was just the last adjustment I did.

Like I said, I've been toying around with them and haven't found anything that worked really well.

Nice to talk to you on rAthena this time.   

Thanks,

Alright. I'll adjust the shadow to 600ish. What about the Sun/light? What height would you set? Higher or lower than the shadow?

For sun I always use the following settings

 

-500  6000  -1000

Are these the coordinates? What sort of range do you set for it then?
