Lights don't seem to have an effect

Deforges

Whenever I add a light into a scene, it doesn't seem to do anything to the model. 

this is for both omni and spot lights. 





any idea what's going on?

I would guess that the distance value of the light is not high enough to reach the mesh. The lights accept distance values greater than what the slider maxes out at, for some of my lights I input a value that is greater than the slider cap value.

Yeah, it's likely that the light distance is not  high enough to hit your model, which means the scale of your mesh is probably very large. You can adjust global scale in the scene object's properties.

@vertex_, adjusting scale should solve your issue as well

it turns out my model was just very huge, thanks for the help!
