OK, here's my first run at using some of the elements of HPL I'm not too familiar with yet. I tried to use each thing I hadn't used yet without making it look like I just shoved it all in a room. Billboards for lighting and scratches on a door, fog areas, boxlights and particle effects. I tried to put some neat touches in the area. The door laying inside showing something burst in and not out, the light by the bed still on showing it happened recently, and one other small touch that's (in my opinion) pretty clever (probably not lol)
I do have 2 questions: When editing light colors, what's the A for? I get RGB but I dunno what A does except making my light vanish if I turn it all the way down. Also, which light billboard is best for light coming in a window? I'm using bb_white_Halo right now.
Oh, and how do you guys put your images into your posts? When I upload an attachment the "insert into post" button doesn't do anything, or should I use a 3rd party site like imageshack or photobucket?
Edit: My post makes post #666 in this thread.
