Point Lights

[TheJeweledWolf 595]

I was asked to make a pfp for someone, and I was fine with that. As I was making the picture, I added lights in the mall behind the character so it didn't seem abandoned or dead. But when I exported the photo, the lights didn't show up in the backround as I saw in the rendered version.

 

I'm not sure exactly what went wrong, is there a setting I didn't notice?

it might have something to do with your point light options in the settings tab

Which setting in particular? I don't remember messing with them at all.

Idk about the problem, but I really wanna say: Nice job so far on the posing and framing and stuff.

Lol. The person gave me a reference photo, probably why I did so well.

isn't there an option when you export it to include lights? i might be stupid but idk.

edit: no, there is not

I disagree, I think the lights help quite a bit to bring everything together.

okay?

Try bringing the point lights closer?

Or making the point light range higher...

I had this problem once but forgot how I fixed it...

I've tried moving them around, no matter what they disappear when I export it. (Also, I agree with Bacon. The lights are staying)

I don't know how to fix that, but one thing I have to say about the profile picture is that you should bump up the resolution a lot.

Well a lot of sites (like the Hypixel Forums) limit the size of profile pictures a lot so it might be too big if she does. I've had to make profile pictures really small (much smaller than this one) in order to fit under the limits before.

Rendering the image HQ and lowering the resolution in a program like Paint.NET gives it anti-aliasing.

The image currently has no anti-aliasing, and the pixels stand out.
