I am re-lighting a level I have been working on. I would really like to kow if there is a way to raise or lower the intensity of a particular light source. My ambient is set to zero. What I'd like to do is use less lights that are brighter as opposed to more lights in certain areas. I would imagine if there is a way to adujst the intensity then I would have to tweek the light radius to get the desired effect.

Right click on the light and it will bring up the properties tag for the entity or light in this case. The default light range is "500". If you increase this number it will expand the range of your light. If you are going to use a light with a large range, you will want to change the color of the light to be pretty dark to get a better distribution across your scene.



I would strongly recommend reading the user manual as it will answer most of your initial questions as well as make you aware of features that you probably don't know exist yet.

Best,

Additionally, if you click on the "Light Color" and then select "other" it will bring up a pallet that will allow you to alter both the color and intensity of the color. This combined with "Light Range" will allow you control over the intensity of your lights.
