Hi, I just installed the Old West Sheriffs Office and Old West Saloon and I want to put a light inside the building so when looking at the building from the outside it will look like there is a light on inside the building.

I have tried all the different lights but I don't see the lights inside the buildings.

I am sure I should be able to do this but I just can't figure it out.

How do I do this?

Thanks for the help !

    Are the building window materials opaque and blocking your light?

    What are you rendering in? Iray or 3Delight? If you are using the standard lights (spotlight, point light, etc) you need to set the lumens a lot higher than you would think to get any good light. For Iray, Try increasing the lumens to 100k and see what happens.

    I did a series of test renders putting lights into a building to test render times. I posted the results here with the light settings used.
