Does anyone know a way of getting/faking colored shadows in lightwave before version 7.5?

I believe there was a plugin for that, something caled LocalAmbient or something....

Just search on Flay...oh heck...here it is:

Turn on radiosity and the ambient will effect only the shadows. crank up the strenth and add a funky color. Unfortunatly this is a global effect so all shadows will have the same color. Wich is fine in most cases.
Eki's Plug-pak can do this with sliders and stuff. it's great get it...NOW also it is a per light effect.

couldn't you just render out a shadow pass and tweak the colors in photoshop to your liking? that's how i always do it.

to render in layers is to give one the power to change ones mind at any step in the process of creation. :drool:

Sure but then you don't have all that extra time trolling the Internet while waiting for renders!
