Hi folks, noob question. I just started here and built a building. Unfortunately it is extremely dark inside. I have tried the torch and lamps, but they don't seem to actually emit any light. How can I get my place lit up?

I'm pretty sure you have to enable shadows?

I have searched the forums and help and cannot find nothing useful about lighting or shadows, which seems pretty strange to me. How would I enable shadows?

1. Open roblox studio
2. Click on lighting
3. Change global shadows to enabled

I found the less than obvious download link for Roblox Studio and downloaded it, but unfortunately I am running a Mac and cannot use it. Thanks anyway.

If anyone is interested they can check out my unfinished and unlit building, a modified third iteration Menger Sponge.

I can help, but it'd seem to be a waste to help you.

Thanks, that did help, though I still need to get interior lighting.

I managed to get Roblox Studio working (slowly) on a Windows laptop, so your assistance would hopefully not be a total waste. I played with the ambient lighting and that helped somewhat, but what I really need is interior lighting. Any help you can provide would be appreciated.

That sounds ideal, can you point me to a link or thread that would help me learn how to do that?

Does this refer to the most recent blog entry about scripting tutorials?

Ok, thanks will have a look. I have to say though, it seems to me that a basic necessity like an interior light that actually works should be a standard item.
