turn off Real 3D shading from backfield

Post by jtaylor » Thu Sep 05, 2013 11:58 pm

Is it possible to turn off the shading when looking at the "band" from the backfield view? I don't mean the shadowing one turns on and off in the application options for better or worse graphics speed. When I turn the field around and look at the drill from the back sideline, I want the band to be lit the same as from the front side instead of going so grey they almost disappear. Also, changing the uniform color is not a solution I am looking for. Pictures attached to show what I mean (I hope) Any help would be most appreciated!

There was an update to 7.1.5. I'd try to install that update first and see if the problem is replicated under the new version. Maybe it was stealth fixed?

I enjoy charting military drills. Let me know if you need any assistance with one of them.

Here is the issue.

I can adjust the lighting on that, however it requires adding an additional light to the scene which is going to increase the demand on the computer due to the fact it is having to calculate a second light source for all objects in the Real View.

Currently the light is properly shining from the sun in the sky.

I will see if there is something else that can be done.

I do now have the latest update. Appreciate any solution you can give! Our halftime shows are always split 50/50 Front sideline/back sideline so being able to view and create movies in Real 3D mode that can reflect this without the shading change would be highly beneficial.

Thanks!

For reference would you be able to provide a link to a current video?

Do you want live video of the band or a screen video of the program? Not sure what you are asking for.

If you could provide both that would be best.
