    Are you sure its not just your Viewport color set to White? I just tested in DS4.6 and all EXCEPT the auto lamp is Off.

    I think you nailed it Jade. Looks like her viewport accidentally got set to white.

    What Jaderail means is Change Background Color. in Viewport Display Options.

    Hey Trish, we must've posted around the same time. The background of your viewport is not the background of the User Interface.

    I don't have DS 4.6, if that's what you're using, but in my DS 4.0, next to the dropdown list of my cameras, there's an icon with a few horizontal lines and a right-facing arrow. If you click on that, one of the options is to Change Background Color.

    That will popup a color selection dialog box where you can choose what color you want for the background of your viewport.

    Hope that helps.

    Yes, once you change the Background color it stays that way. But if the FILE is saved as a PNG it will still be a transparent Alpha channel. In a JPG file the Background color will be rendered in so for JPG set it to the color you want before rendering.

    ok I got it back some how by closing it and re-opening see now I can see where the spot light is.....before in the above I could not see where it was....I hope that helps ...that's why I could not figure out what I did to cause that

    If you are using the Black panther as your BASE figure your now in my boat. I can not for the life of me get it to light well. But to test that theory go to Preferences and do Reset to default. Then you will need to customize again if you have do any, but you will be BACK to 100% normal.

    EDIT: Ah... good. Yes if DS starts doing ODD when you change things Close and Reopen often Re-Sets the bad thing that stuck.
